Octaviania asterosperma (hypogeous Basidiomycota) We investigated the phenolic composition, and antioxidant, antimicrobial and antigenotoxic effects of methanol extracts of fruiting bodies from Octaviania asterosperma. The total phenolic content (ppm) of O. asterosperma was found to be catechin (54.

- Mushrooms are valued for their nutritional and medicinal benefits, and this study focuses on the edible mushroom Leucoagaricus leucothites, analyzing its potential health benefits.
- The antioxidant potential was evaluated using a DPPH assay, while its antimicrobial effects were assessed through agar dilution; various assays were performed to measure total oxidant and antioxidant status.
- Results showed that L. leucothites has antioxidant and antimicrobial properties, contains safe levels of heavy metals, and is rich in beneficial phytochemicals like gallic acid and catechin, suggesting its usefulness in nutrition and medicine.
In the present study, the changes that occur in rat liver tissue as a result of the use of grape seed extract (GSE) and low level laser therapy (LLLT) in intraoral wound (IW) healing are analyzed using biochemical parameters. Diode laser application groups received 8 J/cm dose LLLT once a day for 4 days (810 nm wavelength, continuous mode, 0.25 W, 9 s).

Contained-allantoined plant samples and were tested at different concentrations. The antioxidant activities of plant samples were analysed by 1,1- diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging method, cupric reducing antioxidant capacity (CUPRAC), reducing power assay and β-carotene bleaching method.
