The Effects of Rosa canina Fruit Hydro alcoholic Extract on Oxidative Stress, Total Antioxidant Capacity and Haematological Parameters in Diabetic Mice

Abstract Background: Diabetes is a metabolic disorder with adverse effects on haematological parameters level, oxidative stress and antioxidant defence system. This study aimed to investigate the effects of Rosa canina (RC) fruit hydro alcoholic extract on oxidative stress, total antioxidant capacity (TAC) and haematological parameters in diabetic mice. <st...

Measurement of total antioxidant capacity.

The accurate assessment of oxidative stress in biological systems is a problem for all investigators working on the role of free radical damage in disease. Numerous assays have been described to measure various free radical damage products or antioxidant status, and the plethora of available techniques attests to the fact that no ideal method is available. The concept of a single test that migh...

Iron deficiency anemia and total antioxidant capacity.

I read the recent publication on evaluation of iron deficiency anemia via total antioxidant capacity with great interest [1]. It concluded that, “increased oxidative stress may play a role in the pathogenesis of iron deficiency anemia” and that ,“the automated assay is a reliable and easily applied method for measurement of serum total antioxidant capacity in iron deficiency anemia” [1]. There ...
