Chemistry & Pharmocology Harpagophytum |
 | | Harpagophytum extract (100 and 200mg/kg) was administered intra-peritoneally for 14 days and the results were compared with those elicited from a standard anti-oxidant Deprenyl. |
| | Harpagophytum exhibited a dose-related increase in SOD, CAP and GPX activities in both brain areas concomitant with a reduction in LP activity; similar to the results produced by Deprenyl. |
| | Harpagophytum is reported to have a bitter action, equivalent to that of gentian root. |
