Antioxidant Enzyme Levels in Rats Fed Wholly Compounded Diet Supplemented With Orange-Fleshed Sweet Potato Leaves (Ipomoea batatas)

Orange-fleshed sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas) is a nutrient rich plant known for its high content of beta carotene, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. The leaves are rich in polyphenols, flavonoids, and other bioactive compounds that contribute to their potent antioxidant properties. This study investigates the effect of orange fleshed sweet potato supplemented diet on antioxidant enzyme levels in rats. Thirty (30) Wistar rats were used for the experiment.

Antioxidant Enzyme Activities of the Leaves of Groundnut (Arachis hypogeae L.) Planted on Crude Oil-Contaminated Soil

ABSTRACT: Antioxidant enzyme activity of groundnut leaves planted in crude oil contaminated soil was evaluated. 1.5 kg of soil each was placed in black polythene bags. They were divided into four groups (A-D) of five bags each. Each group was treated with different concentrations of crude oil (0 ml, 5 ml, 10 ml and 15 ml per 1.5 kg soil respectively). five seeds of Arachis hypogaea were planted in each bag.

Modulatory Effects of Curcumin on Antioxidant Status of Benzo[a]pyrene Treated Albino Rats

This study examined the modulatory effects of Curcumin on the antioxidant status of benzo[a]pyrene-treated albino rats. Thirty albino rats were divided into five treatment groups (n=6) namely: control, benzo[a]pyrene only (1 mg/kg), benzo[a]pyrene (1 mg/kg) + Curcumin (50 mg/kg), benzo[a]pyrene (1 mg/kg) + Curcumin (100 mg/kg), Benzo[a]pyrene (1 mg/kg) + Curcumin (200 mg/kg) for 6 weeks. Rats were administered the drug (benzo[a]pyrene and Curcumin) orally, thrice a week.
