Free Radicals in Diagnostic Medicine

Part of the book series: Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology ((AEMB,volume 366))

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.
