Our Research plans to investigate the presence of secondary metabolites with a significant biological positive effect on human health in spinach plant (Spinacia oleracea) grown under hypoxic condition. Spinach is a natural source of secondary metabolites with a high content of flavonoids1 and phenolic compounds2 that have been shown to possess antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antimutagenic, anti-carcinogenic activity. The chemoprotective (antioxidant) and antiproliferative effect of spinach leaf extract were evaluated by means of Comet assay and MTS assay on human tumoral colon cell line HT29.

Abstract

Our Research plans to investigate the presence of secondary metabolites with a significant biological positive effect on human health in spinach plant (Spinacia oleracea) grown under hypoxic condition. Spinach is a natural source of secondary metabolites with a high content of flavonoids1 and phenolic compounds2 that have been shown to possess antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antimutagenic, anti-carcinogenic activity. The chemoprotective (antioxidant) and antiproliferative effect of spinach leaf extract were evaluated by means of Comet assay and MTS assay on human tumoral colon cell line HT29. The possibility of the extract to protect cells from the oxidative damage induced by an oxidizing known agent (H2O2) was also taken into account.
