Antioxidative Properties of Ethyl Acetate Fraction of Globimetula braunii in Normal Albino Rats

In vitro and In vivo Evaluation of Antioxidant Properties of Moringa Oleifera Ethanolic Leaves Extract and Effect on Serum Lipid Indices in Rat

“…SOD and CAT are both inducible enzymes whose production can be stimulated. Earlier reports supports this finding that SOD and CAT can be induced in animals as was observed with black rice extract [24], and ethyl acetate fraction of Globimetula branuii leaf-extract [25]. Increased activity of the enzymes could mean enhanced antioxidative capacity of the animals [22].…”

“…The reducing power ability of the extract was determined using the method of Adesegun et al, [13] by mixing 2.5 mL of extract solution of various concentrations (25,50,75, 100, 150, 200, 250, 300, 400, 600, 800 μg mL -1 ), with 2.5 mL of 1 % potassium ferricyanide and incubated at 50 o C for 20 min. Trichloroacetic acid (2.5 mL, 10 %) was added and centrifuged (1000 × g, 10 min).…”

Chemotherapeutic efficacy of an ethanolic Moringa oleifera leaf extract against chromium-induced testicular toxicity in rats

“…SOD and CAT are both inducible enzymes whose production can be stimulated. Previous reports support this finding; including applications with black rice extract (Chiang et al ., ) and the ethyl acetate fraction of the Globimetula branuii leaf extract (Okpuzor et al ., ). Increased activity of the enzymes could mean enhanced antioxidative capacity of the animals (Lobo et al ., ).…”

Anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties of Drynaria quercifolia (L.) J. Smith

“…The HPLC analysis of DQ was carried out at the Department of Biotechnology of the Institute, following the methodology of Okpuzor et al (2009) on HPLC system (Gilson, France) driven by a UNIPOINT system software and the chromatographic separations were performed using a C18 Kromacil Column (250 × 4.6 mm), with a flow rate of 1 ml/m and a sample size of 15 l. The mobile phase used was methanol, acetonitrile, and ammonium acetate buffer (5:11:4) and isocratic elution was performed. The sample was monitored with UV detection at 260 nm at the flow rate of 1 ml min −1 at ambient temperature.…”
