Scavenger effect of a mango (Mangifera indica L.) food supplement's active ingredient on free radicals produced by human polymorphonuclear cells and hypoxanthine-xanthine oxidase chemiluminescence systems

2008-04-01

Abstract excerpt

The in vitro antioxidant and free radical scavenging properties of a stem bark aqueous extract of mango tree (Mangifera indica L.), whose formulations are used in Cuba as food supplements under the brand name of Vimang, were studied. Luminol-enhanced chemiluminescence was used to elucidate the effect of this extract on the generation of reactive oxygen species in PMA- or zymosan-stimulated human polymorphonuclear...
