Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To study the effects of intragastric administration of formaldehyde on lipid peroxidation in mice.
METHODS: Thirty ICR mice were randomly divided into 3 groups: one control group and two experimental groups. The mice were given formaldehyde (the dose is 0, 5 and 20 mg/kg body weight respectively) through intragastric administration once a day for 5 days , and then they were killed. The activities of SOD and the contents of MDA in liver were measured.
RESULTS: The activities of SOD in the 20 mg/kg body weight group were significantly lower than the control group (P < 0.05), and the contents of MDA in the 20 mg/kg body weight group were significantly higher than the control group (P < 0.05), and the liver organ coefficient in the 20 mg/kg body weight group is higher than the control group (P < 0.05).
CONCLUSION: A certain dose of formaldehyde can destroy the balance of lipid peroxidation in mice, the ability of antioxidation is reduced obviously, and the liver become compensatory hypertrophy.
