Investigation of antioxidant effects of rosmarinic acid on liver, lung and kidney in rats: A biochemical and histopathological study.

CONCLUSIONS: Rosmarinic acid has antioxidant properties and is an effective hepatoprotective agent. However, although rosmarinic acid provides useful effects in the lung by increasing antioxidant capacity and reducing oxidative stress after ischemia/reperfusion injury, it does not ameliorate histopathologic changes. These findings suggest that rosmarinic acid is likely to provide favorable outcomes in the treatment of hepatic ischemia/reperfusion injury. PMID: 31436305 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
