Objective To evaluate the antioxidant effect of American ginseng Rhodiola formula on ethanol-induced oxidative damage in model mice, and to explore its mechanism of action, providing a scientific basis for the development of healthy food. Methods Mice were randomly divided into blank control group, acute oxidative injury model group, low dose (330 mg/kg), medium dose (660 mg/kg) and high dose (990 mg/kg) groups according to body weight, 10 mice in each group. Each dose group was given test samples by oral gavage. Blank control group and model group were given equal volume of distilled water. After continuous gavage for 30 days, 50% ethanol was intragastrically administered at 12 mL/kg after fasting for 16 h in each group except blank control group. Blood and liver were collected from mice 6 h later. Malondialdehyde (MDA), 8-epoxyisoprostane (8-Isoprostane), protein carbonyl (PCO), glutathione (GSH), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), triglyceride (TG), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-1β (IL-1β), interleukin- 6 (IL- 6) content and superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) activity in mouse serum, MDA, PCO, GSH content and SOD activity in liver tissue were measured, and the protein expression of p-p38, p-ERK and p-JNK was detected by Western blotting.. Results Compared with the model group, the MDA content in the serum of mice in the low-dose group of American ginseng Rhodiola formula decreased (P
