title: [Antioxidation activities of Fructus Broussonetia haematochrome in vitro].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To investigate the antioxidative effects of Fructus Broussonetia Haematochrome.
  
  
  METHODS
  NADH-PMS-NBT system was used to produce supetoxide free radical (O2-*), Fe(2+) -H2O2 system to generate hydroxyl free radical (*OH), H2O2 to stimulate oxidative hemolysis of erythrocytes of mice. MDA production in liver homogenate induced by auto-oxidation was measured by MDA kits method.
  
  
  RESULTS
  FBH not only scavenged O2-* and *OH produced by the experimental systems directly, but also inhibited H2O2 stimulated oxidative hemolysis of erythrocytes of mice, depressed MDA production in mice liver homogenate by auto-oxidation and hepatic mitochondria expanded induced by Vit C-Fe2+ system.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  FBH possess an antioxidative activity.
