This study was aimed at evaluating the antioxidant activities of methanol extract of Thamnolia vermicularis. The antioxidant activity, reducing power, superoxide anion radical scavenging and free radical scavenging activities were studied. The antioxidant activity of the extract correlated with its concentration (0.2~2 mg/ml) in the reaction mixtures containing linoleic acid. Upto 67% of lipid ...

in order to optimization of protein hydrolysis condition (including enzyme to substrate ratio (e/s), temperature and time) for achieving the highest antioxidant activity, the green tiger prawn (p. semisulcatus) mince was tested via commercial protease (alcalase® 2.4l) based on the response surface designed method in 18 treatments and then dried to obtain powder in freeze dryer. the antioxidant ...

BACKGROUND Callistemon citrinus (Curtis.) (Family- Myrtaceae) is a popular evergreen shrub in Bangladesh. In the present study, the leaves of this plant have been assessed comprehensively for free radical scavenging, thrombolytic and membrane stabilizing activities. METHODS The leaves were collected, powdered and extracted with methanol. The extract was then concentrated and successively frac...

the current study highlights the in vitro antioxidant and antitumor activity of the previously-synthesized hydrazone derivatives against various free radicals and human cancer cell lines, respectively. the anticancer efficacies of the compound were tested by measuring cytotoxicity in cancer cell lines hela, a549, and non-cancerous nl20 cells. compounds possessing electron-donor methoxy and meth...

BACKGROUND Arctium lappa, known as burdock, is widely used in popular medicine for hypertension, gout, hepatitis and other inflammatory disorders. Pharmacological studies indicated that burdock roots have hepatoprotective, anti-inflammatory, free radical scavenging and antiproliferative activities. The aim of this study was to evaluate total phenolic content, radical scavenging activity by DPPH...

in this study, we measured the composition and free radical scavenging activity of several species of nuts, namely, torreya grandis, carya cathayensis,and myrica rubra. the nut kernels of the aforementioned species are rich in fatty acids, particularly in unsaturated fatty acids, and have 51% oil content. t. grandis and c. cathayensis are mostly produced in zhejiang province. the trace elements...
