Phytochemical Analysis, In Vitro Free Radical Scavenging, and LDL Protective Effects of Different Solvent Fractions of Calotropis procera (R.) Br. Root Bark Extract
Figure 6
In vitro LDL protective effect of CPRME and its solvent fractions. CPRME: Calotropis procera root bark methanol extract; HF: hexane fraction; DMF: dichloromethane fraction; EAF: ethyl acetate fraction; MF: methanol fraction; AF: aqueous fraction. All tests were performed in triplicates (n = 3). Data were expressed as mean ± SEM. Statistical analysis of TBARS value at the highest concentration of extract/fractions (1500 μg/mL) was performed. # when positive control (native LDL with CuSO4 only) compared with negative control (native LDL without CuSO4 and sample treated), , when test extract/fractions compared with positive control (native LDL with CuSO4 only).
