Effects of American Ginseng Capsules on the Liver Ultrastructure and the Oxidative Stress of Rats after Exposure to Electromagnetic Radiation
Objective To study the possible mechanisms of American ginseng capsules in prevention and treatment of rat liver injury induced by electromagnetic radiation. Methods Forty Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into normal group
radiation group
silibinin group
and American ginseng group
with ten in each group.Except the normal group
the three rest groups of rats were exposed to electromagnetic radiation( 900 MHz
370 μW /cm2)
4 h per day
for 12 days in a row. At the same time
the silibinin group and the American ginseng group rats were administered orally with silibinin capsules solution( 7 mg / ml) and American ginseng capsules solution( 19. 7 mg /ml) 1 ml/200 g every day respectively. And the normal group and the radiation group were given with equivalent normal saline. After 12 days
the rats were killed and liver ultrastructure was observed under transmission electron microscope. The content of malondialdehyde( MDA)
the activity of glutathione( GSH)
and the expression of phosphorylated vascular ataxia mutation protein( ATM) and phosphorylated histone 2A variants( γH2AX) in liver tissue were also detected. Results Compared with the normal group
the mitochondria and rough endoplasmic reticulum of liver cells mildly damaged
the content of MDA in liver tissue increased
the activity of GSH decreased
and the expression of ATM and γH2AX increased significantly in the radiation group( P < 0. 01). Compared with the radiation group
the mitochondria and rough endoplasmic reticulum of liver cells showed less damage
the content of MDA in liver tissue decreased
the activity of GSH increased
and the expression of ATM and γH2AX decreased significantly in the silibinin group and the American ginseng group( P < 0. 05 or P < 0. 01). Conclusion American ginseng capsules can improve the ultrastructure injury of rat liver induced by electromagnetic radiation. Its mechanism may be related to reduction of oxidative stress and the protein expression of ATM and γH2AX.
