Effects of alternanthera sessilis red leaf extracts on hydrogen peroxide-induced oxidative stress in HepG2 cells and identification of phytochemicals using HPLC-QToF-MS/MS

Alternanthera sessilis Red (ASR) is an edible medicinal plant that receives little attention in Asia. This study aimed to investigate the ability of ASR ethanolic (EtOHASR) and ethyl acetate (EtACASR) leaf extracts in pro-tecting HepG2 cells against oxidative damage. To determine the effect of both...
