Abstract: AIM: To evaluate the protective effects of propofol on oxidative injury of rat cortex mitochondria. METHODS: Lipid peroxidation was induced by ascorbic acid-Fe2+, the swelling of mitochondria and the decrease of membrane fluidity were induced by ascorbic acid-Fe2+ system.The fluidity of mitochondral membrane, content of malondialdehyde (MDA) in mitochondria and the swelling of mitochondria were measured. RESULTS: The swelling of mitochondria and the decrease of membrane fluidity induced by ascorbic acid-Fe2+ system were alleviated by propofol(P<0.05).30 μmol/L propofol could protect mitochondria from ascorbic acid-Fe2+ induced lipid peroxidation. CONCLUSION: Propofol can protect mitochondria from oxidative injury induced by ascorbic acid-Fe2+.

Key words: propofol, mitochondria membrane, membrane fluidity, oxygen free radical, lipid peroxidation
