Oxidative stress refers to the excessive ROS production and the antioxidant system cannot be able to neutralize them. HPLC analysis of aqueous, 30% and 70% ethanol extracts of the polyphenol rich H. sabdariffa calyx (the highest phenolic, flavonoid, anthocyanin contents and antioxidant capacities) showed that cyanidin 3-O-glucoside chloride, chlorogenic acid and delphinidin derivatives were the major constituents. Production of H2O2 (prooxidant capacity) increased by increasing the ethanol extracts concentration and incubation time at pH 7.4. Gallic acid was the greatest in the production of H2O2. Pretreatment of rats with H. sabdariffa ethanol extract followed by tert-butyl hydroperoxide (t-BHP) injection partially blocked the effect of the t-BHP, as indicated by the oxidative stress markers. In rat lungs homogenates, glutathione, malondialdehyde levels and lactate dehydrogenase activity returned back almost to the normal level. The antioxidant enzymes catalase and glutathione S-transferase (GST) were increased, while glutathione peroxidase (GPx) and glutathione reductase (GR) were not affected. Histological studies indicated the presence of sever lung injury with t-BHP and H. sabdariffa extracts. In human lung fibroblast cells, H. sabdariffa extracts (150 ?g and 300 ?g) have almost no effect on GST activity while, resolved the inhibitory effect of H2O2 on GR and GPx activity.
