ANTIOXIDATIVE ROLE OF TERMINALIA CATAPPA LEAF PROTEIN AGAINST ELA INDUCED MICE

The antioxidant activities of Terminalia catappa were quantified using non-enzymic, enzymic antioxidants and livermarker enzyme. The activity of enzymic and non-enzymic antioxidants increased significantly by the intraperitonealinjection 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.
