Disturbed lipid profile is one of the most important and potent risk factors in ischemic heart disease (IHD). In recent years, it has been demonstrated that raised oxidative stress promotes several undesirable pathways including the formation of oxidised LDL (O-LDL) and oxidized cholesterol which encourages cholesterol accumulation in arterial tissues. We, therefore, aimed to ascertain the redo...

total phenolic contents (tpc) of five different extracts (petroleum ether, dichloromethane, ethyl acetate, ethanol and ethanol-water) of artemisia biennis willd were measured in this work. the antioxidant activity was investigated by three different methods: β-carotene bleaching (bcb) test, 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (dpph) radical scavenging method and ferrous ion chelating (fic) assay. amo...

Solanum trilobatum L. (Solanaceae) has been well known as nightshade, commonly used by diverse populations to heal several disorders. Earlier studies in Solanum trilobatum were focused on different pharmacological activities and a few were concerned with antioxidant and hepatoprotective effects. Thus, the current study was focused to evaluate the antioxidant potential and hepatoprotective effec...

OBJECTIVE Clerodendrum viscosum, Eryngium foetidum, Lippia javanica, and Murraya koenigii are one among the common wild edible plants in Northeast India which are also used as antidiabetic, stomach-ache relieving drugs, etc., The present study was aimed to reveal the phytochemical, antioxidant, and anthelmintic activity of the plants. MATERIALS AND METHODS The antioxidant capacity of methanol...

Extraction parameters in classical solvent extraction of bioactive compounds from Arbutus unedo leaves were studied using a single factor experiment approach. Effects ethanol (EtOH) concentration (20-100 %), solvent:solid ratio (10-90 ml/g), time min) and temperature (15-70 °C) on total phenolic content (TPC), flavonoid (TFC) antioxidant activity (TAA) the extracts investigated. The optimal con...

Free radical injury is thought to be one of the common mechanisms for several diseases in preterm infants. Lipid peroxidation plays a vital role in the pathogenesis of many neonatal complications because the antioxidant system of preterm infants is highly stressed and incompletely developed. We aimed to determine the oxidative stress [Malondialdehyde (MDA)] and antioxidants [Total antioxidant a...

OBJECTIVE This study aimed to evaluate the total antioxidant activity (TAA) in patients with major depressive disorder (MDD) and the effect of antidepressants on TAA using a novel potentiometric method. METHODS Twenty-eight patients with MDD and thirty-one healthy controls were enrolled in this study. The control group comprised 31 healthy individuals matched for gender, drinking and smoking ...

Stemodia maritima L., is a shrub of the Plantaginaceae family, with some biological activities already described, such as: larvicide, antimicrobial, and anti-inflammatory. Thus, objective this work was to evaluate antioxidant, gastroprotective ethyl acetate extract from S. maritima. The phytochemical profile investigated through quantification total phenolic compounds, flavonoids, CCD analysis....

Abstract. The redox potential of goat serum was assessed by different spectrophotometric assays. Among them, three methods are commonly applied for the evaluation oxidative (reactive oxygen metabolites, ROMs, and total oxidant status, TOS) nitrosative (NO⚫ NOx) stress, four antioxidant status: capacity (TAC) based on ferric reducing ability plasma (FRAP), activity (TAA) reduction coloured ABTS⚫...

BACKGROUND Oral lichen planus (OLP) is a chronic and inflammation mucosal disease. Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) and oxidative stress damage might be the cause. Malondialdehyd (MDA), one parameter of lipid peroxidation is appropriate for DNA damage in OLP disease. OBJECTIVE To evaluate antioxidants and oxidative stress parameters in patients with oral lichen planus (OLP) diseases and healthy ...
