Protective effect of ellagic acid on erythrocytes subjected to oxidative stress during human ageing

In the present study, potential role of ellagic acid on various biomarkers oxidative stress during human ageing has been studied. The study was carried out 75 healthy individuals both sexes. They were divided into three age groups viz., young (<36 years; n=23; male=13, female=10), middle (36-60 n=38; male=25, female=13), and old (>60 n=14; male=8, female=6). induced by using tert-butyl hydroperoxide (t-BHP). each group, erythrocytes incubated with (final concentration 10-5M). result demonstrated a significant (P <0.01) decrease in total antioxidant terms FRAP value ageing. A <0.05) vitro protective effect malondialdehyde reduced glutathione levels against reported. performed different groups. findings suggest possible as an anti-ageing compound.
