Superoxide Dismutase and Catalase Activities, Proline and Malondialdehyde Contents in Extracts of the Aerial Parts of Two Species of Pulsatilla Native to Mongolia

In this work, a comparative study on superoxide dismutase and catalase activities, proline and malondialdehyde (MDA) contents in extracts of the aerial parts of Pulsatilla turczaninovii and Pulsatilla flavescens is presented. Flower extracts of both species showed the highest superoxide dismutase and catalase activities, followed by leaf and stem extracts. The same trend is observed for proline and MDA contents.
