Background and objectives:Hormozgan province is located in the south of Iran, bordering waters of the Persian Gulf and Oman Sea. Due to the antioxidant potential of plants which might be responsible for their medicinal properties, the antioxidant properties of four medicinal plants of the region were evaluated. Methods: The antioxidant pr...

The primary supply of minerals, vitamins, carbohydrates, flavonoids, phenolic compounds, and other nutrients in the globe is found fruits fruit peels. They are a source supplementary antioxidants as well. DPPH radical scavenging, Catalase activity, Total Reducing Power were used to assess antioxidant potential Punica granatum, Citrus limetta, Musa paradisiaca. best activity for assays demonstra...

s The present study is an endeavour to evaluate anti inflammatory and antioxidant activities of ehtanolic extract of steam bark of Zanthoxylum armatum. In vivo anti inflammatory activity was evaluated in wistar species of rats by using carrageenin induced paw edema, where as in vitro antioxidant activity was performed by DPPH free radical method. The plant extract exhibited significant anti-inf...

The antioxidant activity of Syzygium cumini leaf extracts was investigated using the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free radical-scavenging and ferric-reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) assays. The methanolic extract and its four water, ethyl acetate, chloroform, and n-hexane fractions were prepared and subjected to antioxidant evaluation. The results showed that the ethyl acetate fraction...

Our objective is to evaluate the antibacterial and antioxidant activity of ethanolic extracts of Plectranthus mollis (P.mollis) and Salvia officinalis (S. officinalis) leaves locally used for treatment of microbial infection in Nilgiris of India. Antibacterial activity was determined by using agar diffusion and broth dilution methods against seven microorganisms. The antioxidant potential was a...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate whether increasing antioxidant intake in men with high levels of DNA damage or lipid peroxidation improves gestational results in couples with history of recurrent embryo loss. DESIGN Descriptive study (case series). SETTING Early recurrent embryo loss program at the University of Antioquia, Medellín, Colombia. PATIENT(S) Seventeen men whose spouses had a history of ...

The viability of recalcitrant seeds is lost following stress from either drying or freezing. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) resulting from uncontrolled metabolic activity are likely responsible for seed sensitivity to drying. Nitric oxide (NO) and the ascorbate-glutathione cycle can be used for the detoxification of ROS, but their roles in the seed response to desiccation remain poorly understoo...

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...

       In this study, we examined the antioxidant activities of methanolic extract of three endemic species of Salvia from Iran (S. lachno...
