| Summary: | In this study, the antioxidant activity of the plant seed and its antiproliferative
effect against Michigan Cancer Foundation-7 (MCF7) breast cancer cells were
investigated, and the underlying mechanisms of actions involved were unravelled
using molecular biological methods such as 2-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-
DE), western blotting and reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR).
l,l-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and 2,2'-azino-bis-3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-
sulphonic acid (ABTS) tests showed that all the extracts and fractions from the seeds
have antioxidant capacities.
