The effect of volatile antioxidants of plant origin on leukemogenesis in mice

Antiradical properties of essential oils and extracts from coriander, cardamom, white, red, and black peppers

“…Thus, long term admin istration of low doses of savory and oregano resulted in delayed aging in laboratory mice, an increased level of polyunsaturated fatty acids in the brain of aging ani mals, and improved brain function [10]. EOs of savory, oregano, clove, which contain phenols, and ginger extract manifested themselves in experiments in vivo as effective bioantioxidants; they improved the antiox idant and immune status of mice, increased their resis tance to radiation and carcinogens, and extended their lifespan [11][12][13][14]. Most EOs possess AO, antiviral, anticancer, anti inflammatory, and geroprotective activity and prevent the onset of cardiovascular dis eases [1,2,9,[14][15][16].…”

Antiradical properties of essential oils and extracts from clove bud and pimento

“…For example, the essential oils of oregano, savory, clove, and lemon and the extract of ginger increased the antioxidant and immune status of labo ratory mice. They also provided geroprotective, anti tumor, and antiradiation effects [6][7][8][9][10][11]. In many cases the biological activity of essential oils and extracts is provided by their antioxidant and antiradical proper ties, which are due to the presence of volatile phenols, flavonoids, phenolic acids, etc.…”
