Summary

In this study, the effects of MA-631SRLR, and MCS on microsomal lipid peroxidation were examined in vitro. Rat liver microsomes were incubated with a sodium ascorbate and ADP-iron complex or with an NADPH-generating system to stimulate nonenzymatic or enzymatic lipid peroxidation, respectively. Aqueous or alcoholic extracts of MA-631SRLR, and MCS, when added to these incubation systems, inhibited hepatic microsomal lipid peroxidation in a dose-dependent manner. The alcoholic extracts were the most effective antiperoxidants in both systems. The alcoholic extract of MCS inhibited ascorbate- or NADPH-induced lipid peroxidation by 56% and 63%, with 12 micrograms and 22.5 micrograms, respectively. These findings suggest that these Maharishi Ayurvedaa food supplements may be useful in the treatment of free radical-induced injury due to their antiperoxidant properties.
