Antimutagenicity and antigenotoxicity of Aloe arborescens Miller and Aloe barbadensis Miller in Aspergillus nidulans and Wistar rats.
Medicinal plants such as Aloe arborescens Miller and Aloe barbadensis Miller are used by the general population to treat various diseases. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the antimutagenicity of these two species using a methG1 system in Aspergillus nidulans and the comet assay in rats. The animals were treated with the plants at concentrations of 360 and 720 mg/kg body weight ...
متن کاملChemical Composition and Biochemical Activity of Aloe vera (Aloe barbadensis Miller) Leaves
Aloe.vera has a long history as a medicinal plant with diverse therapeutic applications. This study was conducted to determine chemical composition and biochemical activity of A. vera leaves. Proximate composition (moisture, ash, crude protein, crude lipid and crude fibre), ascorbic acid, superoxide dismutase, catalase, peroxidase, amylase, reducing sugars and total soluble sugars were determin...
متن کاملEffect of aloe vera (Aloe barbadensis Miller) gel on doxorubicin-induced myocardial oxidative stress and calcium overload in albino rats.
Administration of a single dose of doxorubicin (DOX) (7.5 mg/kg, i.v.) produces cardiotoxicity, manifested biochemically by significant decrease in blood glutathione (GSH) and tissue GSH along with elevated levels of serum lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and serum creatine phosphokinase (CPK). In addition, cardiotoxicity was further confirmed by significant increase in lipid peroxides expressed as ...
متن کاملStructural Modifications of Fructans in Aloe barbadensis Miller (Aloe Vera) Grown under Water Stress
Aloe barbadensis Miller (Aloe vera) has a Crassulaceae acid metabolism which grants the plant great tolerance to water restrictions. Carbohydrates such as acemannans and fructans are among the molecules responsible for tolerating water deficit in other plant species. Nevertheless, fructans, which are prebiotic compounds, have not been described nor studied in Aloe vera, whose leaf gel is known ...
متن کاملEvaluation of antioxidant potential of aloe vera (Aloe barbadensis miller) extracts.
The polysaccharide and flavonoid concentrations of two-, three-, and four-year-old Aloe vera were determined, and their antioxidant activities were evaluated compared to BHT and alpha-tocopherol by the DPPH radical scavenging method and the linoleic acid system at 100 microg of soluble solids per mL of ethanol. The results showed that three-year-old Aloe vera contained significantly higher leve...
