Objective To investigate the protective effect of tea polyphenols on liver of rats exposed to lead.Methods Forty SD rats were randomly divided into the normal control (NG), model control (CG), highdose (HG), middledose (MG) and lowdose of tea polyphenols groups (LN), 8 rats in each group.The rats in the NG were given with intraperitoneal injection of 1.0 mL deionized water, those in the others were intraperitoneally injected with lead acetate 15 mg.kg-1, once a day for consecutively 10 days; meanwhile, rats in the NG and CG were treated with 0.9% NaCl, and those in the HG, MG, LG were orally administered with 2.0, 1.0, 0.5 g.kg-1 tea polyphenols for 30 consecutive days, respectively.The serum ALT, AST and liver SOD, MDA were determined to assess the liver protection of tea polyphenols for rats exposed to lead.Results ALT of NG, CG, HG, MG, LG were (52±7) ,(245±32), (139±47), (158±67), (240±28) U.L-1, respectively; AST were (45±8), (256±35), (147±53),(174±23), (236±32) U.L-1,respectively; SOD were (120±13), (33±9), (89±28), (79±24), (67±15) U.mg-1 ,respectively; MDA were (2.6±0.7), (10.5±1.6), (3.6±1.2), (5.3±1.5) ,(9.5±1.2) nmol.mg-1, respectively. Compared with those in NG, ALT, AST and liver MDA of CG were significantly increased, while liver SOD significantly reduced (P<0.01); the ALT, AST and liver MDA in HG and MG were significantly lower (P<0.01), but the liver SOD was significantly higher than those in CG (P<0.01).While the LG significantly increased SOD activity (P<0.01), but didn’t obviously clear liver MDA. Conclusion Tea polyphenols showed liver protective effect, the mechanism of which might be related to enhancing peroxidase activity and scavenging free radicals.
