TRIS Hcl, NBT, NADH, Ethanol, PMS, l-ascorbic acid 1. The superoxide radicals is generated in 3 ml of TrisHCl buffer (16 mM, pH 8.0) containing 1 ml of NBT (50 μM), 1 ml NADH (78 μM) and ethanol extract of sample (25 – 50 μg). 2. The reaction was started by adding 1 ml of PMS solution (10 μM) to the mixture. 3. The reaction mixture was incubated at 25° C for 5 min, the absorbance was read at 560 nm using a spectrophotometer (Schimadzu UV-Vis 1700) against blank samples using l- ascorbic acid…

Summary Human Serum albumin (HSA) is a plasma protein in charge of the transportation of the fatty acids (Bhattacharya, Grune & Curry, 2000, p.721). HSA promotes the transportation capacity of plasma because it is currently at around 0.6Mm enabling it to carry more than six molecules of fatty acid. In addition, the HSA binds and agitates the pharmacokinetics of various drugs compounds. The HSA-fatty acid has two drug-binding sites, which are the sub-domains IIA and IIIA. The fatty acid IIIA…
