Abstract
Excessive free radical formation is the biochemical basis for oxidant injury to cells. Free radicals have been implicated in the pathogenesis of a wide variety of diseases. MAK-4 and MAK-5 are herbal antioxidant mixtures1,2. In this study, we investigated the antioxidant effect of MAK-4 and MAK-5 on endothelial cell (EC)- and soyabean lipoxygenase (SLP)-induced LDL oxidation and SLP-induced linoleic acid oxidation.
