Abstract
Recent studies indicated that C. caudatus, a herbal plant, possesses strong antioxidant and free radical scavenging activities. It might also have potential tumour-inhibitory effect. This study was conducted to investigate the effects of C. caudatus on drug-metabolizing enzymes (DME), antioxidant status and lipid peroxidation in mice liver. The extent of liver injury was assessed by measuring lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity. This study involved 30 adult ICR male mice (25-35 grams) that were divided into 5 groups. Aqueous extract of C. caudatus (CC) were administered orally to mice for 21 days in three different doses [100, 500 and 1000 mg/kg body weight respectively]. Positive control mice were given diet containing 0.5% butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA). After 21 days, the mice were sacrificed and their livers harvested. The results showed that NADPH-cytochrome P450 reductase activity was significantly increased only in mice treated with 500 mg/kg CC compared to the control group. DT-diaphorase (DTD) activity was significantly increased only in mice treated with 1000 mg/kg CC. Superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity was significantly increased only in mice treated with 500 mg/kg CC. Catalase (CAT) activity was significantly increased in mice treated with 1000 mg/kg CC. MDA level (which indicated the extent of lipid peroxidation) was significantly reduced in all CCtreated groups. Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) level (which indicated the extent of liver injury) was significantly reduced in all CC-treated groups. In conclusion, Cosmos caudatus supplementation might be able to protect mice livers against damage caused by oxidative stress mainly through inhibition of the lipid peroxidation process and LDH activity, as well as through some modulation of the activities of certain antioxidant enzymes.
