TLDR
These species not only showed no cytotoxic effects in nerve growth factor (NGF)-differentiated PC12 cells, they also protected them against H(2)O(2)-induced cell death, suggesting these plants may be candidates for treating neurodegenerative diseases.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

Antimicrobial activity of flavonoids

TL;DR: Several high-quality investigations have examined the relationship between flavonoid structure and antibacterial activity and these are in close agreement, and future studies may allow the development of a pharmacologically acceptable antimicrobial agent or class of agents.
