First Evaluation of the Biologically Active Substances and Antioxidant Potential of Regrowth Velvet Antler by means of Multiple Biochemical Assays

Abstract: We investigated the biologically active substances contained in RVA (regrowth velvet antler) by comparing the composition of biologically active substances and antioxidant potential of different antler segments. RVA was subjected to extraction using DW (distilled water). RVA was divided into 3 segments: T-RVA (top RVA), M-RVA (middle RVA), and B-RVA (base RVA). The T-RVA section possessed the greatest amounts of uronic acid (36.251 mg/g), sulfated GAGs (sulfated glycosaminoglycans) (555.76 mg/g), sialic acid (… Show more

“…Velvet antler, the unossified antler of Cervus elaphus, is well known as an animal-based folk medicine widely used in Asia as an alternative oriental medicine to treat various diseases including osteoarthritis, myocardial infarction, hypertension, breast cancer, and PC [20][21][22][23][24]. Our previous research showed that antler extract (AE) exhibited antioxidant and antiprostate cancer activity [24,25]. However, the inhibitory effect of AE on Cis-induced toxicity has not been investigated, and therefore, the present study investigated this phenomenon for the first time.…”

“…Cervus elaphus sibericus (CES), commonly known as deer antler, is an herbal medicine that has long been regarded as a powerful natural substance with diverse pharmacological activities, including anti-infective, anti-arthritic, anti-allergic, and anti-oxidative effects [ 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 ]. In particular, regarding its antioxidant potential, CES contains numerous biologically active substances, such as uronic acid, sulfated glycosaminoglycan, sialic acid, uridine, uracil, and hypoxanthine, and possesses a high antioxidant potential [ 16 ]. Thus, CES has been shown to act as an ROS scavenger.…”
