Hypericum Perforatum Extract Modifies Serum and Tumoral Redox Status and Nitric Oxide Metabolites in Mice
Abstract:Plant extracts with antioxidant efficacy and/or suppressive activity on nitric oxide (NO) production are highly being used as supplements by cancer patients. Despite very high concentrations of NO can kill malignant cells; NO can also propagates cancer growth even at supraphysiological levels. Hence, discovery of safe compounds diminishing NO production may be beneficial in reducing cancer progression. Hypericum extracts are shown to exert redox-active efficacies and to reduce NO production in non-malignant co… Show more
