Súhrn: In recent years, increasing attention has been paid to functional foods with antioxidative effects. Hence, comprehensive and precise evaluation of the effects of antioxidant food has also been a focus of food research. This study aimed to evaluate the validity and rationality of antioxidant indices and methods in vivo. One hundred and ten participants were randomly allocated to receive standardized grape seeds or placebo capsules. After 90 days of using either antioxidant preparations or placebo, antioxidant effects were measured based on the serum levels of superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-PX), malondialdehyde, 8-isoprostaglandin and 3-nitrotyrosine. An antioxidant capability was considered if any two of the first three indices were positive, which means that self-comparison and between-groups levels significantly changed after 3 months. The results showed that the serum levels of all the tested antioxidant indices improved significantly (P < 0.01) after the use of grape seed extract. More importantly, the differences in SOD and GSH-PX levels were significant between the groups. In conclusion, SOD as well as GSH-PX levels can be effective indices and the method we utilized can provide helpful references for evaluation standards of the antioxidant function.
