摘要：
Cellular damage caused by reactive oxygen species (ROS) has been implicated in several diseases and hence antioxidants have significant importance in human health. The present study examined the effect of aqueous extracts of Achyranthes aspera on sesame oil fed rats and its enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidant activity was investigated in liver, heart and kidney tissues. The levels of SOD, CAT, GST, G6PD, GSH, Vitamin C and Vitamin E showed a marked decline when compared to control groups. The tendency of these parameters to retrieve towards normalcy in Achyranthes aspera treated groups reveals the potential of Achyranthes aspera in combating oxidative dysfunction. Our findings reveal that Achyranthes aspera possess antioxidant activity.
