Assays Rhizoma Cibotii BHA Trolox
DPPH 44.26 ± 0.62a,b 2.03 ± 0.28 4.02 ± 0.71
ABTS 19.84 ± 0.31a,b 2.03 ± 0.28 1.49 ± 0.00
• O 2+ 137.66 ± 2.90a,b 2568.62 ± 11.78 799.11 ± 72.30
• OH 22.94 ± 0.90a,b 26.39 ± 0.28 41.84 ± 3.79
Reducing power (Fe3+) 289.73 ± 46.17a,b 34.14 ± 0.26 44.96 ± 0.60
Reducing power (Cu2+) 53.52 ± 1.51a,b 5.74 ± 0.23 11.32 ± 0.09

All values were mean ± SD (n=3). Results were analyzed by ANOVA. Value with a significantly different from Trolox (P < 0.05); Value with b significantly different from BHA (P < 0.05). MERC, methanolic extract from Rhizoma Cibotii.
