PURPOSE Gardenia jasminoides is a traditional medicinal plant rich in anti-inflammatory flavonoids and phenolic compounds and used for the treatment of inflammatory diseases and pain. In this present study, antioxidant potential of Gardenia jasminoides leaves extract was evaluated by using various antioxidant assays. METHODS Various antioxidant assays such as 1, 1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (D...

the present work is carried out to study the antioxidant potential of ethanolic extract of alstonia scholaris linn. ( apocynaceae ) using various in vitro tests including 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl-hydrazil (dpph . ) free radical scavenging, metal ion chelating, hydrogen peroxide scavenging, superoxide anion radical scavenging, and ferric thiocyanate reducing ability.   ethanolic extract of alstonia...

Antiradical and cytoprotective activities of several flavanones isolated from Paulownia tomentosa (Thunb.) Steud. (Scrophulariaceae) have been evaluated using different in vitro and in vivo methods. The capacity of flavanones to scavenge radicals was measured in vitro by means of DPPH and ABTS assays, the inhibition of hydroxyl radicals produced in Fenton reactions, FRAP, scavenging superoxide ...

costus speciosus (koen) j.e. sm. plant and its extracts are used for treatment of fever, snake bites, jaundice, and as a purgative, astringent and antibacterial agent. in the present study, an attempt has been made to evaluate in vitro antioxidant activity of different extracts of this plant by dpph radical scavenging activity, total antioxidant capacity, nitric oxide scavenging activity, ion c...

The aim of the present study is to evaluate the antioxidant and proliferative effects of aqueous and ethanolic extracts of Symphytum officinale. Antioxidant activities of extracts were determined by 2,2diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging, superoxide radical scavenging and Folin-Ciocalteu assays. Proliferative effects of the extracts were evaluated on 3T3 Swiss albino mouse fibro...

The present work is carried out to evaluate the antioxidant potential of fractions from ethanolic extract of Alstonia scholaris Linn. (Apocynaceae) using various in vitro tests including 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl-hydrazil (DPPH) free radical scavenging, metal ion chelating, hydrogen peroxide scavenging, superoxide anion radical scavenging, and ferric thiocyanate reducing ability. Dichloromethane an...

We have investigated effect of Moringa oleifera leaf and fruit extracts on markers of oxidative stress, its toxicity evaluation, and correlation with antioxidant properties using in vitro and in vitro assays. The aqueous extract of leaf was able to increase the GSH and reduce MDA level in a concentration-dependent manner. The ethanolic extract of fruit showed highest phenolic content, strong re...

The fungi are an exceptionally useful model in elucidating the cell functions under extreme conditions (temperature, salinity, pH values) and mechanisms underlying adaptation to those extreme environmental conditions. Here, Chaetomium globosum was examined for its adaptation mechanism under alkaline stress using antioxidant properties. The aqueous extracts of C. globosum exhibited different lev...

this study was designed to examine bioactive compounds of the thyme-enriched corn oil and to determine the antioxidant activity of its methanolic extract. volatile compounds composition was investigated by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (gc-ms), whereas phenolic compounds analysis was performed by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (rp-hplc). antioxidant activities of t...

The present study reports a comparison of the antioxidant properties and phenolic profile of the most consumed species as fresh cultivated mushrooms and their mycelia produced in vitro: Agaricus bisporus (white and brown), Pleurotus ostreatus (oyster), Pleurotus eryngii (king oyster) and Lentinula edodes (shiitake). The antioxidant activity was evaluated through reducing power (Folin-Ciocalteu ...
