BACKGROUND Lawsonia inermis (Lythraceae) is an ethnomedicinal plant, traditionally known for curing several ailments such as skin diseases, bacterial infections, jaundice, renal lithiases and inflammation etc. The present work deals with assessment of in vitro antioxidant and in vivo hepatoprotective potential of butanolic fraction (But-LI) of Lawsonia inermis L. leaves. METHODS Antioxidant a...

Irradiation of sulfonamide derived oral antidiabetic drug, tolbutamide (N-[(butylamino) carbonyl]-4methylbenzenesulfonamide,1) in a phosphate buffered solution under aerobic atmosphere afforded two photoproducts by cleavage of S-N and C (O)-N bonds of urea units. When irradiated with linoleic acid it photoinduced lipid peroxidation. The insignificant decrease in lipid peroxidation test under ar...

Article history: Received on: 25/12/2013 Revised on: 08/02/2014 Accepted on: 23/05/2014 Available online: 28/06/2014 The effect of tissue cultured and tissue culture derived Mentha species viz. Mentha piperita(PPR611), Mentha arvensis (SH) and Mentha spicata (SPR 8) on antioxidant potential using lipid peroxidation model was studied. The extracts prepared were analyzed for total phenols and fla...

In order to elucidate the biochemical mechanism by which doxorubicin (DX) induces cumulative dose-dependent cardiomyopathy, the effect of DX on beating and on lipid peroxide level in myocardial cells was investigated by using a mouse myocardial cell culture system. Inhibition by DX of the beating of cultured myocardial cells was doseand exposure timedependent. When incubated with DX for 0.5 h, ...

DRAGOEV, S. G., 2008. Inhibition of lipid peroxidation of frozen mackerel by pre-storage antioxidant superficial treatment. Bulg. J. Agric. Sci., 14: 283-289 With the help of TBARS the antioxidative effect of rosemary extract, rutin, quercetin, sodium erythrobate, BHT, α-tocopherol and a blend, containing rosemary extract, quercetin concentrate and sodium erythrobate on the lipid peroxidation o...

The effect of the plant growth regulator, triacontanol (TRIA) on lipid peroxidation was studied in three different systems: (i) isolated chloroplasts of spinach (Spinacea oleracea L.) leaves; (ii) egg lecithin liposomes; and (iii) soybean lipoxygenase (LOX) system. The nonenzymatic lipid peroxidation in isolated chloroplasts and egg lecithin liposomes was measured as the amount of thiobarbituri...

Objective: Extracts of Anchomanes difformis (AD) are used in folkloric medicine to treat several diseases and infections. However, their roles in mitochondrial permeability transition pore opening are not known. Material and Methods: The viability of mitochondria isolated from Wistar rat liver used in this experiment, was assessed by monitoring their swel...

The methanolic extract of Sida retusa Linn.(Malvaceae),Urena lobata Linn.(Malvaceae)and Triumfetta rhomboidea Jacq.(Teliaceae) roots were found to inhibit lipid peroxidation, scavenge hydroxyl and superoxide radicals in vitro. The quantity of S.retusa root extract required for 50% inhibition of lipid peroxidation, scavenging hydroxyl radical and superoxide radical was 1130.24 ug/ml respectively...
