Some plant extracts that prevent lipid peroxidation and protect the unsaturated fatty acids in the fenton reagent environment

This study investigated protective effects of the Laurus nobilis, Arum italicum and Malva sylvestris extracts on the unsaturated fatty acids and the prevention of lipid peroxidation formation in the Fenton reagent environment. Antioxidative activities of the L. nobilis, A. italicum and M. sylvestris extracts were determined with the following modifications. Lipid peroxidation level in the Fenton R group significantly high compared to control group, but lipid peroxidation in the L. nobilis, A. italicum and M. sylvestris extract groups significantly decreased according to the Fenton R group (p< 0.0001).
