Abstract:
ob<x>jective : Explore the in vitro antioxidant effects of water extracts of Maojian tea, Tieguanyin tea , Purer tea and their protective effects on hydrogen peroxide(H2O2)-induced of RAW264.7 cells. Methods: The contents of tea polyphenols in the three extracts were determined by Folin colorimetry method. The 1,1- diphenyl -2- trinitrophenylhydrazine (DPPH) method and the total antioxidant capacity (FRAP) evaluation method were used to evaluate the in vitro antioxidant activities of three tea polyphenols extracts. The protective effects of three tea polyphenols extracts protective effects on hydrogen peroxide(H2O2)-induced of Macrophages -RAW264.7 cells were studied by MTT assay. Results: The contents of tea polyphenols in Maojian tea, Tieguanyin tea and Purer tea polyphenols extracts were 46.79±0.99%, 46.22±1.03% and 33.72±0.60%, respectively. The DPPH free radical scavenging concentrations (IC50) of the water extracts of Maojian tea, Tieguanyin tea, and Purer tea were 4.33, 4.91 and 13.49μg/mL,respectively. In the hydroxyl radical experiment, the IC50 of the water extracts of Purer tea, Maojian tea and Tieguanyin tea were 1.02, 1.51 and 1.81 mg/mL, respectively. The FRAP values of the water extracts of Maojian tea, Tieguanyin tea and Puer tea were (350.89±3.11),(261.55±2.98) and (109.97±3.25) mmol/L, respectively.The water extracts of three kinds of tea have good protective effects on hydrogen peroxide(H2O2)-induced oxidative stress of RAW264.7 cells when the concentration is lower than 80ug/ml. When the concentration exceeds 80ug/ml, the cell survival rate decreases with the increase of the concentration, showing an obvious negative correlation. Conclusion: The DPPH free radical scavenging ability and FRAP value of tea polyphenols extract are Maojian tea > Tieguanyin tea > Purer tea. The antioxidant activity of the extract is also positively correlated with the tea polyphenol content. The water extracts of three kinds of tea have protective effects on hydrogen peroxide(H2O2)-induced oxidative stress of RAW264.7 cells.
