Abstract

The aim of this study is to investigate the inhibitory effects of aminoethyl-chitooligosaccharides (AE-COS) on oxidative stress in mouse macrophages (RAW 264.7 cells). The inhibitory effects of AE-COS on DNA and protein oxidation were studied in RAW 264.7 cells. Furthermore, free radical scavenging effect of AE-COS were determined in RAW264.7 cells by 2',7'-dichlorofluorescein (DCF) intensity and intracellular glutathione (GSH) level. AE-COS also inhibited myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity in human myeloid cells (HL-60). These results suggest that AE-COS acts as a potential free radical scavenger in RAW 264.7 cells.<br /> (Copyright © 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.)
