| Achyrocline satureioides (Lam.) DC. (Compositae) is a medicinal herb used in Argentina, Uruguay, Brazil and Paraguay for its choleretic, antispasmodic and hepatoprotective properties. The presence of the flavonoid quercetin and its derivatives, and of different phenolic acids such as caffeic, chlorogenic and isochlorogenic acids in the aerial parts of this plant has led us to study the antioxidant activity of its extracts using different bioassays. The inhibition of luminol-enhanced chemiluminescence by the aqueous and methanolic extracts was used to show that their total reactive antioxidant potential index (TRAP; in µM Trolox equivalents) was 91.0 ± 15.4 and 128.1 ± 20.1 µM, respectively, while the total antioxidant reactivity index (TAR) was calculated... |

| The purpose of the present work was to evaluate both the antioxidant response system and oxidative stress in leaves from bitter gourd (Momordica charantia L) subjected to NaCl, UV-B and water stresses at three different stages of plant growth: pre-flowering, flowering and post-flowering. Except for peroxidase (POX), all enzyme activities including superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), polyphenol oxidase (PPO), glutathione reductase (GR), as well as concentrations of ascorbate (ASA), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) exhibited maximum values at the flowering stage under all three stresses. All the enzyme activities, SOD, CAT, POX, PPO, GR and the concentrations of ASA, H2O2 and TBARS were elevated under NaCl... |
