Abstract
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of 80% ethanol grape leaf extract (VGLE) and resveratrol (VGLR) from Vitis romaneti on antioxidant of red blood cells (RBC) of rat and efficacy of blood flow improvement in a rat model of topical ferric chloride (FeCl3)-induced carotid artery damage. RBC oxidative hemolysis and plasma lipid peroxidation induced by the aqueous peroxyl radical generator 2,2-azobis(2-amidinopropane) dihydrochloride were significantly suppressed by VGLE or VGLR in a dose-dependent manner. The FeCl₃ treatment seriously damaged the carotid artery: the walls of the artery and blood flow. However, VGLE or VGLR administration has ameliorated the blood flow and suppressed thrombus in blood vessels. These results suggest that VGLE or VGLR ameliorates the oxidative stress of RBC and thrombosis against blood vessel damage.
