“…Numerous studies have reported that the feeding of BP to animals resulted in a marked activation of diverse antioxidant mechanisms and an improvement in antioxidant defense against different experimentally-induced oxidative damages [ 132 , 137 , 142 , 172 , 184 , 185 ]. In addition, studies of BP extracts obtained by diverse solvents, including ethanolic [ 148 , 156 , 167 , 168 ], hydroethanolic [ 15 , 154 , 171 , 179 ], and diverse organic solvent-mediated extracts [ 150 , 151 , 153 , 175 ], have noted important antioxidant activities regardless of the extraction media. These bioeffects were also widely reported in animal models by studies that focused on different anatomical organs and physiological systems including renal [ 174 ], nervous [ 139 , 174 ], digestive [ 144 , 151 ], and reproductive [ 172 , 185 ] systems, as well as on different biochemical, hematological, and toxicological markers at systemic levels [ 137 , 165 , 184 ].…”
