Antioxidant and DNA damage protecting activities of Eulophia nuda Lindl
TL;DR: In this paper, Eulophia nuda extracts were evaluated for protection of Fenton's reagent induced DNA damage and the results confirmed the plant as a rich source of phenols, flavonoids, vitamin C and carotenoids.
Journal ArticleDOI
Anti-Inflammatory Effects of Cajaninstilbene Acid and Its Derivatives.
TL;DR: The mechanism studies demonstrated that the anti-inflammatory activity of CSA and its derivative is associated with the inhibition of NF-κB and MAPK pathways, relying partly on resisting the LPS-induced decrease of PPARγ through improving its expression.
Journal ArticleDOI
Enzymatic extraction and characterization of polysaccharide from Tuber aestivum
TL;DR: The polysaccharide extracted from T. aestivum possessed the significant in vitro antioxidant capability and was characterized for its structure, chemical composition, thermal analysis and bioactivity.

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.
