Ephedra foeminea: A Potential Source of Antioxidant Protection

The search for natural remedies with antioxidant properties is an ongoing endeavor. This research delves into the potential of Ephedra foeminea, a plant found in the eastern Mediterranean, as a source of antioxidant and cytoprotective compounds. The authors investigate the antioxidant activity of various extracts of E. foeminea fruits, focusing on their ability to protect human endothelial cells from oxidative stress. They identify a polyphenol-enriched extract (Epoly) that exhibits significant antioxidant and anti-apoptotic properties, suggesting its potential use as a nutraceutical for treating oxidative stress-related conditions.
