Abstract:
was given for 30 days during (Kinchit Suryodayajate)during sunrise process time (06:00 a.m.) Group 2: Amalaki churna was given for 30 days at Midday meal time (12:00 pm) Group 3: Amalaki churna was given for 30 days at Night time (08:00 p.m.) Superoxide dismutase was assayed in all the study groups by the method devised by Marklund S, Marklund G modified by Nandi and Chatterjee. Blood samples were collected from all the subjects. Analysis of study was done by using Tukeys multiple posthoc procedure and one way ANOVA test. Result- The serum SOD levels were significantly decreased in group 1 (8.09 units/ml.) as compared to control (14.37 units/ml.), group 2 (9.74 units/ml.) and group 3 (9.77 units/ml.) respectively. Conclusion- These results provide enough evidence of increased oxidative stress and a compromised antioxidant defense system in groups of healthy individuals.
