Abstract
The present study was undertaken to evaluate the effects of feeding the male mice with miso that was prepared with a mixture of microbial starters on the level of lipid peroxidation as a marker of oxidative stress, antioxidant power of hepatocytes, the enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidant. The starters that were used in the preparation of miso were Aspergillus oryzae and Pleurotus ostreaus or A. oryzae and Bacillus subtilis. The miso that was prepared with A. oryzae and Bacillus subtilis has more effect on suppressing the oxidative stress and enhancement of endogenous antioxidant of hepatocytes and renal tissue of mice.
