Modulating oxidative stresses and inflammation can potentially prevent or alleviate the
pathological conditions of diseases associated with the nervous system, including ischemic
optic neuropathy. In this study we evaluated the anti-neuroinflammatory and neuroprotective
activities of Rhus coriaria (R. coriaria) extract in vivo. The half maximal inhibitory
concentration (IC50) for DPPH, ABTS and β–carotene were 6.79±0.009 µg/mL, 10.94±0.09
µg/mL, and 6.25±0.06 µg/mL, respectively. Retinal ischemia was induced by optic nerve …
