Purpose: To investigate the antioxidant and antihaemolytic properties of the leaves of Laser trilubum grown in Gaduk, Iran. Methods: The antioxidant and antihaemolytic activities of the hydroalcohol extract of L. trilobum L. leaf were investigated by haemoglobin-induced linoleic acid peroxidation, scavenging of 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl hydrazyl (DPPH) radical, nitric oxide and hydrogen peroxide, a...

OBJECTIVES Ferula gummosa Boiss is native to central Asia. This plant has traditionally been used in the treatment of many diseases. The antihypoxic and antioxidant activities of Ferula gummosa roots were investigated. MATERIAL AND METHODS 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl hydrazyl radical (DPPH), nitric oxide and hydrogen peroxide scavenging activities, Fe2+ chelating ability, reducing power and hemoglo...

BACKGROUND Flueggea leucopyrus Willd is a shrub grown in many parts of the dry zones in Sri Lanka. The leaves of F. leucopyrus has been used for treating cancer in the traditional system of medicine in Sri Lanka. Hence, this study was performed to analyze the antioxidant and antiproliferative properties of the aqueous extract of the leaves of F. leucopyrus on HEp-2 cells. METHOD The aqueous e...

This study examined the total polyphenol content of eight wild edible plants from Ethiopia and their effect on NO production in Raw264.7 cells. Owing to its relatively high polyphenol concentration and inhibition of NO production, the methanol extract of Adansonia digitata L. leaf (MEAD) was subjected to detailed evaluation of its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. Antioxidant effects w...

Hydrogels In article number 2008793, Won Jong Kim and co-workers introduce an injectable in situ polymeric aggregate-embodied hybrid hydrogel (M-NO gel) to achieve nitric oxide (NO)-scavenging sequential drug-release for the combinatorial treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. This novel M-NO gel platform incorporated with a “clickable” NO-cleavable crosslinker is expected prove guideline various N...

In cystic fibrosis (CF), low concentrations of exhaled nitric oxide (NO) and reduced expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) in airway epithelium have been reported. However, abundant iNOS expression has been found in the subepithelial tissues and elevated concentrations of NO metabolites in breath condensate and sputum. These conflicting results may be explained by increased scave...
