AbstractSepsis, one of the most destructive diseases in the world, is a syndrome of systemic inflammatory response caused by the invasion of pathogenic microorganisms such as bacteria into the body. Malvidin is one of the most widespread anthocyanins, and its significant antioxidant and anti‐inflammatory activities have been widely reported. However, the effect of Malvidin on sepsis and related complications is still unclear. The present study aimed to determine the mechanisms of Malvidin's potential protection from lipopolysaccharide (LPS)‐induced spleen injury model of sepsis. In the LPS‐induced mouse spleen injury model of sepsis, pretreatment with Malvidin was performed to assess morphological damage in spleen tissue and to detect the expression of mRNA levels of serum necrosis factor α, interleukin 1β and interleukin 6, and IL‐10. Apoptosis was detected using the TUNEL technique, and the levels of oxidative stress‐related oxidase and antioxidant enzymes were measured by kit to assess the effect of Malvidin on inflammation and oxidative stress associated with septic spleen injury. The results of this study indicated that Malvidin was be a potentially effective drug for the treatment of sepsis.
