摘要: Context: Taraxacum officinale Weber (Asteraceae), known as dandelion, is used for medicinal purposes due to its choleretic, diuretic, antitumor, antioxidant, antiinflammatory, and hepatoprotective properties.Objective: We sought investigate the protective activity of T. fruit extract against sodium nitroprusside (SNP)-induced decreased cellular viability increased lipid peroxidation in cortex, hippocampus, striatum rats vitro. To explain mechanism extract’s antioxidant activity, putative scavenger activities NO˙, DPPH˙, OH˙, H2O2 were determined.Methods: Slices treated with 50 μM SNP ethanolic (1–20 µg/mL) determine by MTT reduction assay. Lipid was measure cortical, hippocampal striatal slices incubates (5 µM) µg/mL). also determined ex...
