Study on the In Vitro and In Vivo Antioxidant Activity and Potential Mechanism of <i>Polygonum viviparum</i> L.

ABSTRACT: Oxidative stress refers to the phenomenon in which the redox balance of the body is disrupted in response to stimuli, leading to an excessive accumulation of reactive oxygen species in vivo, which can lead to a variety of diseases. In contrast to artificial antioxidants, whose safety is controversial, natural antioxidants, which are widely available, pharmacologically active, and have little toxic side effects, are expected to be candidates for the treatment of oxidative stress-related diseases. Polygonum viviparum L. (PV) is a natural herbal medicine with antioxidant properties and is used as a traditional medicine in the Tibetan Plateau region. However, there are few studies that have focused on its antioxidant activity and mechanism of action in vitro and in vivo. Therefore, the
