Antioxidant Properties of Shilajit
Shilajit is a compound with potent antioxidant properties. In an article called: “Antilipid Peroxidative Property of Shilajit” the researchers demonstrated that Shilajit inhibits lipid peroxidation induced by cumene hydroperoxide and ADP/FE**. It also reduced the rate of oxidation of reduced glutathione content and inhibited ongoing lipid peroxidation, induced by these agents immediately after its addition of the incubation system. (Yamini B. Tripathi 1996)
Processed extract of mumie efficiently traps hydroxyl radicals, NO- and SO -radicals and also can regenerate ascorbic acid [Ghosal, 1995]. Mumie is an inhibitor of lipid peroxidation induced by cumene hydroperoxide and ADP/Fe2+ complex in a dose-dependent manner. It decreases the rate of oxidation of reduced glutathione and inhibits ongoing lipid peroxidation, induced by these agents, immediately after its addition to the incubation system. Antiradical properties of mumie extract can be attributed to the presence of dibenzo-a- pyrones and fulvic acid It is assumed that the therapeutic properties of some multicomponent preparations, containing mumie in their composition, are caused by anti radical properties of this humus matter. Mumie activates mitochondrial respiration but suppresses activity of succinate – oxidase and NADH-oxidase in mitochondrion. (Igor Schepetkin 2002)
