Antilipid peroxidative property of Nardostachys jatamanasi.
Antiperoxidative property of N. jatamanasi was tested by using iron induced lipid peroxidation in 5% rat liver homogenate. The degree of peroxidation was quantitated by thiobarbituric acid reactive substance (TBARS) content. The extract provided protection against lipid peroxidation. The hexane fraction was more potent than the alcoholic extract. Results suggested antilipid peroxidative property of the plant.
