Study on Influence of Honey on Lipid Peroxidation in Mice

Objective To study the influence of honey on lipid peroxidation in mice.Methods The 48 Kunming mice was randomly divided into four groups by weight and gender:A(control group),B(pero xidized oil group),C(white honey group,D(dark honey group).Group A was fed by water 0.3ml/d;group B was fed by the mixture(water:perox idized oil=1:1)0.3ml/d;group C was fed by the mixture(acacia-white honey:perox idized oil=1:1)0.30ml/d;group D was fed by the mixture(jujube flow er-dark honey:perox idized oil=1:1)0.30ml/d.Results The MDA level and lipofuscin level of honey group were lower than perox idized oil group(P<0.05),while SOD activity were higher than peroix dized oil group(P<0.05);there was no difference of SOD activity and MDA level between two honey groups;lipofuscin in liver in white honey group was higher than dark honey group(P<0.05).Conclusion Honey can increase the serum SOD activity of mice,and decrease the concentration of serum MDA and lipofuscin in liver.
