Evaluation of antioxidant potential of ethyl acetate extract/fractions of Acacia auriculiformis A. Cunn

Antidiabetic and in vitro antioxidant potential of Hybanthus enneaspermus (Linn) F. Muell in streptozotocin–induced diabetic rats

“…Hydroxyl radical is highly reactive in nature. It is capable to damage a vast number of biological molecules in the human body, and to join nucleotides in DNA which cause carcinogenesis, mutagenesis, and cytotoxicity [29] . In addition, the good correlation between antioxidant activity and reducing power in some plant extracts has been observed [30] .…”

Pedalium murex Linn (Pedaliaceae) fruits: a comparative antioxidant activity of its different fractions

“…The same results occur with the potency to scavenge the hydrogen peroxide as well as the hydroxyl radical. Hydrogen peroxide are of less reactive in nature as compared with that of hydroxyl radical which are extremely reactive and capable of damaging almost every molecule found in living cells [24][25][26][27] . Hence it is necessary to prevent the imbalance of these radicals in the body.…”

“…The plant material (fruit) was procured from market ( 24 h (8 h per day for 3 days). After filtration of the solvent, the filtrate was concentrated to dryness under a vacuum evaporator.…”

Phytochemical Evaluation and Antioxidant Activity of Essential Oil, and Aqueous and Organic Extracts of Artemisia dracunculus

“…After the tubes vortexed and waiting for a 40 minute interval, the absorbance of all the samples and standards were measured at 725 nm using a UV-vis spectrophotometer (Cecil, UK). Using the plotted calibration curve, the total phenolic content of the samples was calculated and presented as tannic acid equivalent (TAE) (28,29). All determinations were carried out in triplicates.…”
