title: [Isoflavone genistein-8-c-glycoside prevents the oxidative damages in structure and function of rat liver microsomal membranes].
abstract: Bioflavonoids (polyhydroxyphenols) are ubiquitous components of plants, fruits and vegetables; these compounds are efficient scavengers of free oxygen radicals and peroxides. The aim of this study was to investigate the antioxidant and radioprotective effects of genistein-8-C-glicoside (G8CG), an isoflavone, isolated from the flowers of Lipinus luteusl L. G8CG prevents dose-dependently the destruction of the cytochrome P-450 and its conversion to an inactive form cytochrome P-420, inhibits membrane lipid peroxidation and membrane SH-group oxidation in isolated rat liver microsomal membranes under tert-butylhydroperoxide-induced oxidative stress. Single whole-body gamma-irradiation (1 Gy) of rats results in blood plasma and liver microsomal membrane lipid peroxidation, impairments of microsomal membrane structure and function. Rat treatment with G8CG (75 mg/kg) developed the clear protective effect, stabilized membrane structure and improved the parameters of the monooxygenase function. We can conclude that G8CG can be used as antioxidant and radioprotective agent.
