A. V. Tutel’yan, G. I. Klebanov, S. E. Il’ina, O. B. Lyubitskii · 2003 · Bulletin of Experimental Biology and Medicine. 2003;136(2):155–158. PMID 14631497.
Reported findings and study design
One assay measured lipid oxidation in phospholipid liposomes. The other measured luminol oxidation in aqueous solution.
| Measure | Result | Comparison, timing and statistics |
|---|---|---|
| Lipid peroxyl radical assay | Ginseng extract > bursin > cyclobursin > thymopoietin II fragment > Imunofan and glycine | |
| Aqueous peroxyl and luminol radical assay | Ginseng extract > thymopoietin II fragment > Imunofan > glycine, cyclobursin and bursin |
