The effects of ginseng extract, riboflavin tetrabutylate(B_2-but.) and vitamin E on toxicity of polychlorinated biphenyls(PCB) were examined in rabbits.
Serum total lipid and TBA value were markedly increased by PCB administration in the experimental animals. However, the administration of Ginseng extract or B_2-but. significantly inhibited the elevation of serum total lipid as well as TBA value.
The activity of δ-aminolevulinic acid dehydrase in red blood cells was also significantly stimulated by PCB and this stimulation was inhibited by the administration of Ginseng extract.
Furthermore, the elevations of the activities of serum GOT and GPT by PCB were also prevented by the administration of Ginseng extract and B_2-but.
