Different parts of Icacina trichanta has been used for ethnomedicinal purposes; this study was undertaken to investigate the effects plant on CCl4- induced renal damage. Phytochemical analyses were carried out powdered sample using standard procedures. Absolute organ weight, Urea, creatinine, total protein, superoxide dismutase, catalase and malondialdehyde levels determined. Consequently, thir...

Several polyphenolic compounds and complex mixtures were isolated from brown algae species. The 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryhydarzyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity and ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) of these compounds were evaluated to determine their physiological usefulness as antioxidants for vascular protection. The antioxidative protection of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) was also ev...

Abstract Twelve carrot varieties in different colours and sizes were investigated for chemical properties (dry matter, ash, pectins, titratable acidity, pH), contents of vitamin C, sugar, organic acids, mineral (sodium, potassium, calcium, iron, magnesium), anti-oxidant activities (ABTS, FRAP, ORAC). Moreover, total polyphenolics tetraterpenoids colourful presented. According to the study, sucr...

Abstract Clinopodium serpyllifolium is a perennial medicinal plant generally used as herbal tea in folk medicine. Leaves of C. from the representative exemplars Newe Ya’ar living germplasm collection were analyzed for their polyphenolic and volatiles composition, tested antioxidant activity. The oxygenated monoterpenes pulegone (10.4–50.6%), piperitenone oxide (3.2–28.6%), (0.9–14.6%), trans -p...

The aerial parts of selected Potentilla species (P. anserina, P. argentea, P. erecta, P. fruticosa, P. grandiflora, P. nepalensis, P. norvegica, P. pensylvanica, P. crantzii and P. thuringiaca) were investigated in order to determine their contents of polyphenolic compounds. The results showed that P. fruticosa has relatively high concentrations of tannins (167.3 +/- 2.0 mg/g dw), proanthocyani...
