For ages, people have recognized the importance of healing herbs. This is because human beings have coevolved with plants over the past few million years. Most of the degenerative diseases viz., AIDS, cancer, diabetes, ageing, etc., that afflict humanity have their origin in toxic free radical reactions. Most free radical damage to cells involves active oxygen species (AOS). In fact, human is not genetically adapted to survive past middle age hence antioxidant supplementation of our diet is needed to ensure a healthier elderly population. This concept has captured the attention of scientists...

Cicer arietinum (Gram) is an important protein rich pulse crop. The effect of Aluminium (Al) on radicle growth and biochemical markers of oxidative stress, viz, superoxide, H2O2, MDA, protein carbonyls and hydroperoxides as well as antioxidant enzymes were studied. These physiological and biochemical parameters were assessed in the growing radicles [1 and 4 days] of germinating Cicer arietinum seeds treated with 0.5 - 3.5 mM AlCl3. Results revealed that Al treatment causes severe inhibition on radicle growth. This growth inhibition was preceded by an excessive accumulation of ROS and...
