  • In vitro free radical scavenging and in vivo antioxidant potential of mulberry (Morus indica L.) leaves

    2014, Journal of Herbal Medicine
    Citation Excerpt :

    The antioxidant ability of β-carotene, a precursor of vitamin A, is attributed mainly to the scavenging of several biologically damaging free radicals or ROS, such as singlet oxygen, peroxyl radicals, superoxide, and nitrogen dioxide (Khopde et al., 1998). As reported by Suematsu et al. (1977), increases in free radical formation with subsequent damage to cellular processes are observed in ageing which could be overcome with the supplementation of β-carotene. Hence, in the present investigation, raised serum β-carotene and vitamin A levels in the mulberry leaves-treated group caused a decrease in lipid peroxidation.

  • Detection of oxidized LDL using a carbon nanotube electrode

    2012, Sensors and Actuators, B: Chemical
    Citation Excerpt :

    Reportedly, the averaged MDA-equivalent concentration measured using the TBARS method of healthy adults’ sera is 3.54 μM. However, for a patient with fulminant hepatic failure, it was as high as 13.1 μM [16]. Based on these results, the electrode prepared using 1 mg/ml of CNT dispersion showed 15 nA of current change against 10 μM of MDA-equivalent concentration (Fig. 2).

  • Efficacy of curry (Murraya koenigii) leaves in scavenging free radicals in vitro and controlling oxidative stress in vivo

    2011, Biomedicine and Preventive Nutrition
    Citation Excerpt :

    Especially β-carotene, a precursor of vitamin A, protects membrane lipids from peroxidative damage. As reported by Suematsu et al. [30], increase in free radical formation with subsequent damage to cellular processes are observed in ageing which could be overcome with the supplementation of β-carotene. The level of vitamin C was very less at the initial stages as aged subjects were reported to have low vitamin C in serum [31] which could be not only because of poor intake but also because of the changes in absorption or metabolism of the vitamin in elderly [32] as decline in the level of non enzymatic antioxidants is one of the characteristics in ageing [33].
