In vivo and in vitro evaluation of antioxidant, antihemolytic, acute toxicity effects and high-performance liquid chromatography analysis of an aqueous extract of Moroccan Punica granatum L.
Abstract:Introduction: The use of pomegranates in Moroccan pharmacopeia is due to their healing and nutritional properties because of their richness in secondary molecules. The following study analyses the composition of the aqueous extract of Punica granatum peel and evaluates in vivo and in vitro antioxidant effects, hemolytic protection, and acute toxicity. Methods: Quantification of the plant extract was realized by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The hemolytic assay was used for erythrocyte protecti… Show more
