Evaluation of the antioxidant activity of five endemic Ligustrum species leaves from Taiwan flora in vitro

Assessment of effect of hydroalcoholic and decoction methods on extraction of antioxidants from selected Indian medicinal plants

“…Incidentally these three extracts of M. zapota had the highest phenolic content which again suggests that there is a direct correlation between phenol content and antioxidant activity. This is in accordance with results of others [23,55,56] .…”

Aqueous Extract of Davallia mariesii Attenuates 6-Hydroxydopamine-Induced Oxidative Damage and Apoptosis in B35 Cells Through Inhibition of Caspase Cascade and Activation of PI3K/AKT/GSK-3β Pathway

“…The scavenging capacities of DPPH radical or ROS were determined by spectrophotometric or spectrofluorimetric microplate readers (Bio-Tek, PowerWave X340 or FLX800, Winooski, VT, USA), according to our previous studies [ 15 , 19 ]. The scavenging capacity of the DPPH radical is expressed as (+)-catechin equivalents in milligram per gram of sample.…”

“…Then, the thiobarbituric acid reactive substance (TBARS) test was performed by rapidly adding 1.2% (w/v) TBA and 10% TCA into the reaction solution. The absorbance of the TBARS supernatant was determined at 532 nm [ 19 ].…”

“…The solution was centrifuged for 15 min at 4 °C, and the supernatant was used to assay antioxidant enzymes. The GSH levels and the activities of GPx and GR were measured as previously reported [ 19 ]. GPx and GR activities are expressed as mU per milligram of protein.…”

Phenolic compounds profile and antioxidant activity of Dorystoechas hastata L. Boiss et Heldr

“…They are not well-known Food Research International 44 (2011) 3013-3020 due to the lack of studies reporting their composition and critical functions. Some of these plants have been studied in recent years for their potential antioxidative components and activity (Erkan, Cetin, & Ayranci, 2011;Wu et al, 2011). Dorystoechas hastata L. Boiss.…”
