Abstract:Hippocampal neurons from 18d embryonic Wistar rat were cultured in vitro with xanthine-xanthinoxidase (x-xo) damaging model. Geinsenosidcs (Gin), super oxide dinutase (SOD) and Gin+SOD were applied separately on the same time. The motality rate of neurons under free radical was 16.8±2.97% for 24h and 38±5.40% for 48h, both higher than those in the normal group (P<0.01), while the anti-free radical groups were close to the normal one (P>0.05). The organelles of neurons in the free radical group were damaged, lipofuscin increased, nuclei displaced and malformed, nuclear cytoplasmic ratio elevated and inclusion found in nuclei, while thc damage in the normal and all anti-free-radical groups were slighter. This showed that free radical might damage neuronal membrane system, leading to deformity, and make the neurons dead in end, Gin and SOD might enhance the anti-oxidation of hippocampal neurons, delay neuronal senility and death.
