Antioxidant status between sirih 'bertemu urat' and 'tidak bertemu urat'

In Malay tradition, "sirih bertemu urat" (converging veins) and "sirih tidak bertemu urat" (nonconverging veins) are terms used for betel leaves on the same plants but with different pattern. Morphologically, "bertemu urat" leaves exhibit the left and right veins (nerve...
