APPLICATION

Alcoholic extracts of leaves and fruits of Sea Buckthorn were found to inhibit chromium induced free radical production, apoptosis, DNA fragmentation and restored the antioxidant status to that of control cells. The leaf and fruit extracts improved the antioxidant defense system of the cells by increasing the intracellular GSH levels and inhibiting ROS production. In addition, these extracts were able to arrest the chromium induced inhibition of lymphocyte proliferation, indicating that the extracts also have immunodulating activity. These observations suggest that the alcoholic extracts of leaves and fruits of Sea Buckthorn have marked cytoprotective properties, which could be attributed to the antioxidant activity.

CONCLUSION

Research indicates that Sea Buckthorn may be able to strengthen the immune system. One in vitro study focused on the possible immunomodulatory properties of Sea Buckthorn.
