Background: Hyperthyroidism is associated with liver oxidative stress causing liver dysfunction in many hyperthyroid patients. The hepatoprotective effect of Satureja Khuzestanica Essential Oil (SKEO), as herbal origin antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agent on the hyperthyroidism induced hepatotoxicity and oxidative stress is investigated. Methods: Adult male sprague dawley rats were divided i...

paracetamol (acetaminophen, pcm) is a widely used over-the-counter analgesic and antipyretic drug. intake of a large dose of pcm may result in severe hepatic necrosis. oxidative stress is mediated by oxidative capacities of the pcm metabolite (n-acetyl-para-benzo quinoneimine, napqi), which covalently binds to proteins and other macromolecules to cause cellular damage. at low doses, napqi is co...

Saponaria prostrata (S. prostrata) is an endemic and medicinal plant that contains secondary metabolites such as flavonoids, phenolic compounds, fatty acids, triterpenoids. This study was carried out to evaluate the antioxidant potentials, composition of S. prostrata. Antioxidant properties ethanol water extracts were evaluated by three different in vitro bioanalytical methods including CUPRAC ...

Oxidative stress and advanced glycation end products (AGEs) are known as key factors for the development of diabetic complications such as retinopathy, cataract as well as atherosclerosis and neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's diseases. In this context, natural products have been previously identified as promising sources for antioxidant and anti-glycation compounds. The current ...

A detailed study has been performed on the antioxidant activity of the acetone and methanol extracts of the stem bark of the plant, Shorea roxburghii. The total phenolic content and antioxidant activity of the extracts were determined by DPPH, radical scavenging, ferric ion reducing power, hydroxyl radical, ABTS(.) radical scavenging and hydrogen peroxide scavenging activities. Reducing efficie...
