Fruit extractsAnti-oxidant activityMethanol extract of fruits significantly inhibited intracellular reactive oxygen species production in HEK-293 cells. Aditionally, it also increased the mRNA and protein expressions of antioxidant enzymes, catalase, glutathione peroxidase-1, and manganese superoxide dismutase. ROS inhibition[1]
