In the present study experiments were carried out to determine the total phenolic content and their comparative antioxidant activities in relation to phenol content employing Folin-ciocalteu, DPPH, and ABTS assays of the different solvent extracts of the plant S. macrosperma. It was found that on an average, the plant extract with higher levels of phenol content had higher antioxidant activity....

the present study was done to investigate the correlation between biochemical changes of grafted tree fruits and rootstock fruits in gorgan university of agricultural science and natural resources in 2012-2013. for this purpose, the antioxidant activity and the total content of phenol and  flavonoid on four rootstocks such as yuzu (citrus junos), shelmahalleh (citrus sinensis var. shel mahalleh...

The leaves, barks, flowers, fruits and seeds of Calophyllum inophyllum are widely used in traditional practices. Here in the present study, we aimed to evaluate in vitro antioxidant potential of leaf aqueous and methanolic extracts of C. inophyllum in relation to total phenol and flavonoid contents. DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl) free radical scavenging and ferric (Fe) reducing power was ...

Increasing nitrogen absorption efficiency reduces use of excessive application of N. The effect of rootzone temperature on nitrogen absorption needs clarification. The experiment was conducted to investigate low (15°C, RTZ1), high (35°C, RTZ2) and optimum (25°C, RTZ3) root zone temperatures and nitrogen 52.5 (ND1), 78.75 (ND2) and 105 (ND0) mg∙L-1 levels on cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.), cv. Su...

Objective(s):The current study was aimed to determine the bioactive constituents and biological effects of the Crataegus monogyna ethanolic extracts from bark, leaves and berries on hypercholesterolemia. Materials and Methods: Oleanolic acid, ursolic acid, quercetin and lupeol concentrations were quantified by HPLC. Total phenol content and radical scavenging activity of extracts were also mea...

herbal medicines can be used as the potential sources of anti-oxidative compounds to help the treatment of diseases associated to oxidative stress. in this paper, the ferric reducing antioxidant power (frap) activity of four lamiaceae herbal extracts, which traditionally applied in oxidative stress related diseases, has been evaluated and total phenolics contents of these extracts determined by...

inflammation is a part of the non-specific immune response which occurs in reaction to any type of injury. medicinal mushrooms have had application in various disorders including cancer, liver injuries, inflammation and diabetes. in the present study, the anti-inflammatory effects of the aqueous extracts of medicinal mushrooms (fomes fomentarius, ganoderma applanatum and trametes hirsuta) were ...
