The antioxidant activity of extract from roasted barley grain was evaluated by various methods in vitro and in vivo . Results showed that the extract exhibited high antioxidant activities in vitro and in vivo , evidenced by its ability to chelate ferrous ions, scavenge hydroxyl and superoxide radicals, and prevent lipid peroxidation of liver homogenate. The extract significantly increased the total antioxidant capability (T-AOC) in aged mice (P < 0.05). The activities of antioxidant enzymes superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) increased while levels of malondialodehyde (MDA) and manoamine oxidase (MAO) decreased in both the liver and brain of aged mice treated with the extract compared to the control (untreated mice). The results demonstrate potential antioxidant activities and antiaging effect of roasted barley grain. This provides scientific support for the use of roasted barley grain as an antioxidant against oxidative stress.
