Data are mean ± SE ( ). Means with different lower case letters (a, b, c, and d) in the same column are significantly different at P < 0.05 (ANOVA, followed by Dunnett’s multiple comparison test). *P < 0.05 compared to a and c in the same column. DPPH: 2,2 diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl. FRAP: ferric reducing antioxidant power. FCA: ferrous ion chelating activity. NORSA: nitric oxide radical scavenging activity. HF: n-hexane fraction. CHF: chloroform fraction. EAF: ethyl acetate fraction. WF: water fraction. ND: not detected.
