Antioxidant and free radical scavenging activity of Spondias pinnata
(BIOMED CENTRAL, 2008-12-09)Background: Many diseases are associated with oxidative stress caused by free radicals. Current research is directed towards finding naturally-occurring antioxidants of plant origin. The aim of the present study was to ... -
The antioxidant, iron chelating and DNA protective properties of 70% methanolic extract of 'katha' (heartwood extract of Acacia catechu)
(Berkeley Electronic Press, 2010-03)The present study was carried out to determine the antioxidant and iron chelating property of 70% methanolic extract of 'katha' (heartwood extract of Acacia catechu). The extract was found to be an antioxidant with a TEAC ... -
Assessment of in vitro antioxidant and free radical scavenging activity of Cajanus cajan
(The Berkeley Electronic Press, 2009-09)The present study was undertaken to evaluate the antioxidant and free radical scavenging activities of 70% methanolic extract of Cajanus cajan leaves using various in vitro assays. The TEAC value 0.84 ± 0.05 for the extract ... -
Assessment of the Antioxidant and Reactive Oxygen Species Scavenging Activity of Methanolic Extract of Caesalpinia crista Leaf
(EVIDENCE-BASED COMPLEMENTARY AND ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE, 2011)"Oxidative stress" is initiated by reactive oxygen species (ROS), which are responsible for majority of the diseases. However, antioxidants with ROS scavenging ability may have great relevance in the prevention of oxidative ... -
Association of low-density lipoprotein particle size and ratio of different lipoproteins and apolipoproteins with coronary heart disease
(ELSEVIER, 2008-10)Background: Worldwide coronary heart disease (CHD) is estimated to be the leading cause of death. Current knowledge about prevention of CHD is mainly derived from developed countries. Therefore, this study aimed to find ... -
Comparative study of the antioxidant and reactive oxygen species scavenging properties in the extracts of the fruits of Terminalia chebula, Terminalia belerica and Emblica officinalis
(BIOMED CENTRAL, 2010-05-13)Background: Cellular damage caused by reactive oxygen species (ROS) has been implicated in several diseases, and hence natural antioxidants have significant importance in human health. The present study was carried out to ... -
Evaluation of the in vitro antioxidant and iron chelating activity of Gymnema sylvestre
(University of Salerno, 2009-09)The study evaluated the in vitro antioxidant activity of 70% methanolic extract of Gymnema sylvestre leaves, which is was well known for its antidiabetic and sweet suppressing properties. The extract was used to determine ... -
