Antioxidants
Some elements of vitamins and minerals can function as forming natural antioxidants such as vitamin C, vitamin E, vitamin A, magnesium, and zinc. Antioxidants are useful to prevent early aging, heart attack, and various degeneratif diseases. Potential subtances antioxidants have been successful isolated at this time from metanol extract of aloe vera (Aloe barbadensis Miller) with a combination of column chromatography techniques and thin layer chromatography . Analysis of in vitro using rat brain homogenat, shows that the antioxidants activity in the same compound with a strong, indicated by alfatokoferol (vitamin E).
Results show that the identification the substances classified into groups fenolic. Growth phase (age of harvest) appeared to influence the composition of the essential activities of antioxidants and aloe vera plant. Tests carried out on the concentration of antioxidants and the activities of the flavonoid compound and aloe vera polisakarida from the age of 2, 3, and 4 years. The results showed that aloe vera is the age of 3 years have polisaccharide and flavonoid contents greater than the age of 2 and 4 years.
Order antioxidants activity of each compared with the control, namely BHT (benzoyl hydroxytoluene) and alfatokoferol, sorted from the most powerful to the weak: aloe vera age 3 years> BHT> aloe vera age 4 years> alpha-tokoferol> aloe vera age 3 years show activities arrest of the most powerful free radical (72.19 percent) than BHT (70.52 percent) and alpha-tokoferol (65.20 percent) .
Elements that are found in the aloe vera leaves show the relationship of mutual synergistic in maintaining the integrity of the status of antioxidants in the body. Tests using mice that were given filtrate irradiasi leaf aloe vera juice as much as 0.25 ml / kg body weight / day, for 5 days before irradiattion and 10 days after irradiation, indicating the existence of a significant improvement of enzyme activity superoxide dismutase (SOD) and katalase on lung, kidney, and heart and katalase SOD enzyme is intracelluler and antioxidants that are beneficial to increase the body's immune system against various diseases. There is improvement in the decrease in GSH (glutation) is also shown in rats exposed to the rat-rays. In addition, aloe vera can also improve the effectiveness of transportation in the nutrition and oxygen to cells throughout the body so that the aloe vera can maintain the status of antioxidants in the body.
