Regulatory efficacy of scopoletin, a biocoumarin on aortic oxido lipidemic stress through antioxidant potency as well as suppression of mRNA expression of inos gene in hypercholesterolemic rats

Preceding work in our laboratory has revealed that scopoletin, one of the main bioactive coumarin from fruits of Morinda citrifolia, exerts anti-diabetic activity in in vitro partly by averting α glucosidase and α amylase action. However, its aorto/vaso protective impact-based research is still incomprehensible. The present study looks into the regulatory efficacy of scopoletin on aortic lipid profile, radical scavenging status, endothelial...
