[[abstract]]Recently, there is increasing interest in finding natural antioxidants from plants to protect human body against damage due to oxidative stress. The purposes of this study were to evaluate the effects of water extracts from two species of Taiwanese yams, Tainung No.1 (TNG1)(Dioscoera alata L.) and Mingjian (Dioscoera alata L. var. purpurea M. Pouch) on the activities of antioxidant enzymes in the cells. The influences of oxidant agents, tert-Butyihydrogen peroxide (t-BHP) and sodium mtreprusside (SNP), on the activities of antioxidant enzymes were also determined.The results showed that the water extracts from TNG1 and Mingjian could raise the activities of SOD and CAT in mouse liver cell FL83B. The water extract from Mingjian i...
