Other claims from this paper (8)
- Intervention effect Stellaria media extract gave 76% DPPH inhibition, the highest value of the three extracts
- Intervention effect Cajanus cajan extract gave 57% DPPH inhibition
- Intervention effect Tetracera potatoria extract gave ferric ion reduction of 104% in the FRAP assay, higher than Gallic acid
- Intervention effect Stellaria media extract gave ferric ion reduction of 79% in the FRAP assay, lower than Gallic acid
- Intervention effect Cajanus cajan extract gave ferric ion reduction of 26% in the FRAP assay, lower than Gallic acid
- Observation Tetracera potatoria inhibited lipid peroxide formation by 54%
- Intervention effect Standard drugs appear more potent than the crude extracts in antioxidant activity
- Mechanism The abundance of flavonoids, tannins and phlobatannins accounts for the high antioxidant activities of the three plants
