These findings document that the accuracy and reproducibility of hand volume measurements are improved by small additions of ethanol, most likely by reducing surface tension of water.
Plumula nelumbinis is a well-known health food and a traditional Chinese medicine, is used in many countries around the world. For its pharmacological properties are related to its chemical composition, a ultra-performance liquid chromatography electrospray ionization quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UPLC-ESI-QTOF-MS) method was used to identify the flavonoids in P. nelumbinis. The first set of data shows the MS-MS Spectrograms of 12 flavonoid standards and 38 flavonoids detected in the P. nelumbinis from Xiangtan, Hunan province. The second set of data shows the total flavonoids content and the antioxidant activity of total flavonoid in P. nelumbinis from 13 habitats. The antioxidant activity were accomplished with 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC) and ferric reducing ability of plasma (FRAP) assays.
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.
