Myristica Fragrans (MF): Potential Role as an Antioxidant and Anti-Inflammatory Agent

Pharmacological potential of Cytisus triflorus l ’ Hérit . extracts as antioxidant and anti - inflammatory agent

This work aimed to investigate the anti-inflammatory and the antioxidant activities of the hydroalcolic extract (HAEs) from aerial parts (stems and leaves separately) of an Algerianmedicinal plantCytisustriflorusL’Hérit. The anti-inflammatory activity is evaluated by the carrageenan induced mice hind paw edema model. Oral administration of HAEs tested at the dose of 200 and 400 mg/kg body weigh...

Lipid Lowering Effects of Myristica Fragrans

Zinc is an Antioxidant and Anti-Inflammatory Agent: Its Role in Human Health

Zinc supplementation trials in the elderly showed that the incidence of infections was decreased by approximately 66% in the zinc group. Zinc supplementation also decreased oxidative stress biomarkers and decreased inflammatory cytokines in the elderly. In our studies in the experimental model of zinc deficiency in humans, we showed that zinc deficiency per se increased the generation of IL-1β ...

Preliminary screening of potential flavonoid-subclasses in Myristica fragrans and Cordyline terminalis by LC- ESI-MS

Although extensive literature exists on antioxidant properties of medicinal plants, very few studies have focused on their polyphenolic composition. Here, preliminary phytochemical screening and total flavonoid content in extracts of seeds of Myristica fragrans and leaves of Cordyline terminalis have been investigated. Screening of potential flavonoid-subclasses was done by LC-ESI-MS, whose dat...
