The article presents the results of biochemical studies of the total antioxidant activity of the hepatoprotective collection of plant origin and its individual components, which show that it consists of birch leaves (Betulae folia), tansy flowers (Tanaceti flores), phytohepatol No. 2 (choleretic collection No. 2) and individual its components have pronounced antioxidant activity. More antioxidant activity founded in tansy and true hepatoprotective collection. Comparative tests of the flowers of meadowsweet, with the highest antioxidant activity, showed the promise of their use in the collections of medicinal plants as effective natural metabolic regulators. The total antioxidant activity of the water extract collection at 13.56% rel. exceeded the calculated value obtained by summing the activities of the individual components of the collection, which indicates the presence of synergism in their action, which may be of value for use in the treatment and prevention of liver diseases. When all components of the drug collection are finished, the indicator increases by 11-24 % rel., which indicates the thermal stability of the antioxidant substances that make up their composition. In the oxidation of aqueous extracts of the components of hepatoprotective collection with hydrogen peroxide, the most stable were antioxidants of birch leaves. It was found that collection only at a ratio of 7.7 g per liter of water shows synergism (15 % rel.), and the rest of all the samples we tested are antagonistic. The detected increase in the antioxidant activity of the new collection compared with the effects of its individual components allows us to consider it as a promising dosage form for use in the treatment and prevention of liver diseases.
The article presents the results of the biotechnological study of aquatic environments with molecular hydrogen by antioxidant activity. Molecular hydrogen has selective antioxidant activity against dangerous free radicals. It has anti-inflammatory, anti-apoptotic, anti-allergic effects and stimulates energy metabolism. The problem is urgent nowadays because of the great interest to molecular hydrogen as an antioxidant over the past ten years, but its quantitative metabolic parameters have not been estimated yet. The total antioxidant activity of aquatic systems saturated by hydrogen have been studied using coulometric analysis. It was shown that their antioxidant activity of aquatic systems increase of 8-10 times depending on the operating conditions and time of the "H2 Inhaler" device and 3 times when using a mineral generator active Hydrogen "Aquaspectr Mineral". The effect of molecular hydrogen have been studied by changing the antioxidant status of the human body, which was determined by changing the total antioxidant activity of urine and oral fluid during inhalation of hydrogen and oral administration of hydrogen-saturated water. The synergistic effects has been revealed in determining the total antioxidant activity of the oral fluid in the range from 14.02 to 17.59% rel. and synergism/antagonism of urine in the range from 37.17 to 27.62% rel., compared with control measurements. The total antioxidant activity was determined using electro-generated bromine, the samples were analyzed on an Expert-006 coulometer (Econix-Expert LLC, Russia) according to our certified method.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
