Abstract
ABSTRACTThis study explored the potential of Andrographis paniculata in regulating redox imbalance using planaria as a model organism. Decapitated planaria were regenerated in water, A. paniculata extract, hydrogen peroxide, and a combination of hydrogen peroxide and A. paniculata. The growth was 26% higher, locomotion 15% higher, and protein 35% higher in A. paniculata group. The stressed group had 33% higher growth, 17% higher locomotion, and 36% higher protein when treated with A. paniculata. In conclusion, A. paniculata accelerated the regeneration and minimized the stress induced by hydrogen peroxide and hence can be a promising option for the prevention of neurodegenerative diseases.KEYWORDS: Andrographolideplanariaredox Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Herbs, Spices & Medicinal Plants is an essential reference filled with recent research and other valuable information associated with herbs, spices, and medicinal plants. The Journal serves as a focus point through which investigators and others may publish material of importance to the production, marketing, and utilization of these plants and associated extracts. The journal covers the following topics: growth, development, horticulture, ecology, physiology, genetics, chemistry, and economics. Original articles, review articles, and book reviews provide information of interest to an international audience of researchers, teachers, technicians, and managers involved with production and/or marketing of herbs, spices, and medicinal plants. Managers of food companies, food processing facilities, medical research laboratories, government agencies, and others interested in new chemicals, food additives, international trade, patents, and other items can easily review new findings. The Journal of Herbs, Spices & Medicinal Plants is a forum in which recent research and other information associated with herbs, spices, and medicinal plants is shared. The Journal represents a centralized database accessible by investigators within the international community that work with or have an interest in herbs, spices, and medicinal plants.
