Free radical scavenging activity and immunomodulatory effect of Stachytarpheta angustifolia leaf extract

Essential Oil from Clove Bud (<i>Eugenia aromatica</i> Kuntze) Inhibit Key Enzymes Relevant to the Management of Type-2 Diabetes and Some Pro-oxidant Induced Lipid Peroxidation in Rats Pancreas <i>in vitr</i><i>o</i>

“…The inhibition of SNP-induced lipid peroxidation in pancreas tissues by the clove bud essential oil Fig. 4 could be attributed to the ability of the bioactive constituents to scavenge NO radical produced by SNP, thus protecting the alteration of the structure and function of β-cells in the islet of Langerhans of the pancreas 31 . Moreover, the ability of the clove bud essential oil to inhibit Fe 2+ and SNP-induced oxidative damage in the rat pancreas could be beneficial in the control and/or management of type-2 diabetes.…”

Antioxidant potential and total phenolic contents of seabuckthorn (Hippophae rhamnoides) pomace

“…[17] More total phenolic contents in methanolic extracts revealing that methanolic extract possesses better antioxidant potential than aqueous extract. Phenols are very important plant constituent because of their scavenging ability due to their hydroxyl group [18] and have important role in stabilizing lipid oxidation and are associated with antioxidant activity.…”

Antioxidant and Anti-proliferative Activities of Flavonoids from <i>Bidens pilosa</i> L var <i>radiata</i> Sch Bip

“…Mounting evidence has shown that overproduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS), including superoxide anion and hydroxyl radicals, hydrogen peroxide, nitric oxide, nitrosonium, nitroxyl anion and peroxynitrite, can cause DNA damage resulting in cell malfunction [1], and this ultimately leads to cancer due accumulation of somatic mutations [2]. Furthermore, uncontrolled cell proliferation would eventually result in a net increase in the number of cancer cells, which is strongly associated with the development and progression of cancer [3].…”
