To Investigate the Antioxidant Property of GINGER-JUICE (ZINGIBER OFFICINALE ROSCOE) Using Established Antioxidant Parameters
To Investigate the Antioxidant Property of GINGER-JUICE
Keywords:
Glutathione peroxidise, Glutathione reductase, Total antioxidant status, ginger-juiceAbstract
Background & objectives: To investigate the Antioxidant property of ginger-juice (G.J) in rat. Methods: Albino rats (n=6-12) were administered G.J at two doses (4ml/rat, p.o) as a chronic treatment over period of 21 days. The liquid portion which was obtained by the course of filtration, looked like yellowish hazy opalescent liquid. ANTIOXIDANT STATUS (FREE RADICALS): Blood samples were used for following antioxidant parameters. 1. Glutathione peroxidise 2. Glutathione reductase 3. Total antioxidant status Results: The chronic administration of G.J (4ml/rat, p.o) over a period of 21 days did not alter any of these parameters except glutathione reductase. Conclusion: G.J rules out the Antioxidants property in form of rise reduced glutathione level was noted
