were dominant. 600?μg/ml of methanolic extract showed recovery of GSH and trolox equivalent antioxidants?in rat blood/hemolysate, while?400?μg/ml of extract showed revival in superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity. The present study concludes that the alga?S. porticalis has immense potential to counter oxidative stress as a nutraceutical supplement.
