Effects of Juniperus phoenicea Hydroalcoholic Extract on Inflammatory Mediators and Oxidative Stress Markers in Carrageenan-Induced Paw Oedema in Mice

Table 2

Amounts of total phenolic compounds and total flavonoids and determined IC₅₀ values of the DPPH free radical scavenging assay and β-carotene bleaching test of J. phoenicea EtOH-H₂OE. Ascorbic acid and BHT were used as standards.

Extracts	Phenolic content; (mg GAE/g)	Flavonoid content; (mg EQ/g)	DPPH; (IC50  μg/ml)	β-carotene; (IC50 μg/ml)
EtOH-H2OE	70.3±0.20	11.33±0.05	12.22±0.02	15±0.01
Ascorbic acid	-	-	3.5± 0.20	-
BHT	-	-	-	5.1 ± 0.10

Each value represents the mean ± SD of three experiments.
(mg GAE/g): mg of gallic acid equivalent per g of dry plant extract.
(mg EQ/g): mg of quercetin equivalent per g of dry plant extract.
