The ferric reducing ability of plasma (FRAP) as a measure of 'antioxidant power' : the FRAP assay
TL;DR: The FRAP assay offers a putative index of antioxidant, or reducing, potential of biological fluids within the technological reach of every laboratory and researcher interested in oxidative stress and its effects.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antioxidant Determinations by the Use of a Stable Free Radical
TL;DR: In this paper, the chemical nature of the antioxidant is known and a test specific for the compound or group of interest; for example, the nitroprusside test for sulphydryl groups.
Journal ArticleDOI
Structure-antioxidant activity relationships of flavonoids and phenolic acids
TL;DR: The factors underlying the influence of the different classes of polyphenols in enhancing their resistance to oxidation are discussed and support the contention that the partition coefficients of the flavonoids as well as their rates of reaction with the relevant radicals define the antioxidant activities in the lipophilic phase.
Journal ArticleDOI
The determination of flavonoid contents in mulberry and their scavenging effects on superoxide radicals
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that mulberry leaves contain at least four flavonoids, two of which are rutin and quercetin, and that the scavenging effects of most mulberry extracts were greater than those of rutins (52.0%) at a concentration of 5μg ml −1.
