ANTIOXIDATIVE ROLE OF TERMINALIA CATAPPA LEAF PROTEIN
AGAINST ELA INDUCED MICE
R.SANTHI AND S.ANNAPOORANI
The antioxidant activities of Terminalia catappa were quantified using non-enzymic, enzymic antioxidants and liver marker enzyme. The activity of enzymic and non-enzymic antioxidants increased significantly by the intraperitoneal injection of plant protein fraction compared to ELA induced mice whereas it was reversed for liver marker enzymes. Terminalia catappa protein fraction can be considered as a potential free radical scavenging antioxidant
