Protective Effects of the Aerial Parts ofSalvia officinalis, Melissa officinalisandLavandula angustifoliaand their Constituents against Enzyme-Dependent and Enzyme-Independent Lipid Peroxidation

Year: 1999

Type: article

Abstract: The antioxidant effects of aqueous methanolic extracts from three medicinal Lamiaceae species were investigated in enzyme-dependent and enzyme-independent lipid peroxidation systems. All these extracts caused a considerable concentration-dependent inhibition of lipid peroxidation. Phenolic components present in the plant extracts were evaluated for antioxidant activity and were found effective in both tests. Their concentrations in each extract were determined by TLC-densitometry.
