Summary

The present study was designed to utilize the chemiluminescence (CL) method for O2− analysis in ischemia and reperfusion of the whole rat liver. The results indicated that the O2− level was lower after 30 and 60 min ischemia. After 40 min reperfusion, the level of O2− increased obviously, reaching about 8. 3-fold (30 min ischemia) and 9. 0-fold (60 min ischemia) (P<0. 001,P<0. 01) respectively. The results also show that Chinese Traditional Medicines ligustrazine and salvia compound can scavenge O2− effectively.
