title: [The hepatocyte of the fetal rat as an in vitro model system for testing the antioxidant activity of biological fluids].
abstract: In case of hepatocytes of the fetal rat at the end of the gestation (H.) the lipid-peroxidation was determined by measuring the malondialdehyde (MDA) and the vitality by means of the trypan-blue test. The H. with an incubation up to 120 minutes in PBS formed a high spontaneous value of MDA with a simultaneous loss of the cell activity (r = -0.89; p less than 0.05; n = 25). On the conditions of an experimentally generated activation of O2-radical-forming processes (addition of Fe2+/vit. C) concentration-depending increasing of the MDA-formation and trypan-blue reception of the H. were induced (p less than 0.01). The addition of vit. C reduced the MDA-formation and the vitality of the H. The results exclude a direct relation of the two parameters. The MDA-formation of the H. in vitro can be used for testing antioxidative effects of biological fluids.
