These fruits are known to contain a high level of antioxidant compounds [1 3].
Western blotting confirmed reduced level of antioxidant enzymes (DHAR, APx1, MDAR, and SOD) upon CDT.
Therefore, stumpy level of antioxidant activity of the Centaurium species studied herein might be explained by this fact.
In characterizing the adaptive responses of plants, the most revealing factor is the level of antioxidant status, which takes into account the ratio of antioxidant to pro-oxidant.
Keap1 protein acts as a cellular sensor for oxidative stresses and regulates the transcription level of antioxidant genes through the ubiquitination of a corresponding transcription factor, Nrf2.
In parallel, there was a drastic decline in the level of antioxidant enzymes due to the induction of DEN in Group II animals.
Blackberries (Rubus fructicosus L). possess a high level of antioxidant properties which are closely linked to the levels of phenolic compounds such as ellagic acid, tannins, ellagitannins, quercetin, gallic acid, anthocyanins and cyanidins [1 3].
The aim of the work is to ascertain the level of antioxidant, cytotoxic, anti-microbial properties and in vivo analgesic and anti-inflammatory activity of methanolic extracts of Pouzolzia zeylanica (L).
The aging of brain cells causes an increase in reactive oxygen species generation, coupled with low level of antioxidant system in the brain leads to oxidative stress (OS) [2].
The high up-regulated gene expression level of antioxidant enzymes by GNPs-Pep-A compared to GNPs alone signifies that the GNPs-Pep-A could be a stronger antioxidant response regulator.
Fipronil exposure at three doses caused significant increase in the blood biochemical markers, lipid peroxidation and prominent histopathological alterations; while level of antioxidant enzymes was severely decreased both in kidney and brain tissues.
