Objective:To investigate the protective effects of Liuweidihuang Formula(LWDHF) on human umbilical vascular endothelial cells(HUVEC) injured by oxidized LDL(ox-LDL).Methods:By assaying the proliferation ability of HUVEC using MTT method and the HUVEC apoptosis are with flow cytometry
meanwhile determining the level of malondialdehyde(MDA) in vivo
the levels of lactate dehyolrogenase(LDH)
nitric oxide(NO) and the activity of superoxide dismutase(SOD) in vitro
the protective effect and mechanism of serum with LWDHF on injured HUVEC was assessed.Results:The serum with LWDHF increases the proliferation of HUVEC injured by ox-LDL and inhibits the apoptosis rate.It was also observed that the serum decreases the level of MDA
LDH and enhances the activity of SOD and the level of NO.Conclusion:LWDHF could prevent vascular endothelial cells from oxidative injury induced by ox-LDL.
