Therapeutic Potential of Polar and Non-Polar Extracts of <i>Cyanthillium cinereum In Vitro</i>

<table>Protective effect of 
<i>C. cinereum</i> against degenerative diseases: Relative 
increase in the level of free radicals (due to metabolic and environmental 
oxidative stress) in cells with respect to cellular antioxidants leads to 
intracellular cascades that result in cellular degeneration and consequent 
degenerative diseases. Lower part of the figure shows the role of 
<i>C. cinereum</i> extracts in sustaining equilibrium between 
free radicals and antioxidant systems. This equilibrium inhibits oxidative 
damage cascade in cells, thereby mitigating degenerative diseases. AIF: 
apoptosis induction factors; Cyt <i>c</i>: cytochrome <i>c</i>; 
ETC: electron transport chain.</table>
