Pro- oxidant activities of herbs used in Korean traditional medicine assessed by stimulation of chemiluminescence emitting from luminol/Fenton reagent reaction. The experimental conditions were the same as in Fig. 1. Of 70 herbs, 10 shown in the figure stimulated the chemiluminescence. The results are CPM (count per minute) of chemiluminescence by water extracts of each herb. Numbers given at each herb are the serial numbers shown in Table 1.
