This study assessed the antioxidative and protective effects of peptide extracts from selected species on Aluminum Chloride (AlCl)-induced toxicity in (EHU), (EHI), and (EHG) were screened for bioactive peptides. The crude peptide extract and partially purified peptide fractions of all the plants were subjected to preliminary antioxidants activities through 2, 2-diphenyl-1-picrylhyhdrazyl (DPPH), and nitric oxide (NO) scavenging activities. The most active peptide fraction was subjected to biochemical studies using Flies were treated with AlCl (100 mg/kg diet), peptide fraction (5 and 10 mg/kg diet), and cotreatment of AlCl and the fraction, respectively.
