(UD) is a multi-functional plant known to be used as both food and medicine from ancient times. The plant has the potential to be used as a fertilizer and for biological pest control. It is also used in textile and related industries for its quality fibers. In the recent past, the plant has received great attention for its numerous important biological activities and food applications. The antioxidant activity of UD is the crucial factor supporting its important biological activities, such as anticancer, antidiabetic and anti-inflammatory properties. The antioxidant activity of UD is also found to be protective in different organs, including the brain, liver, lungs, kidney, ovary, and uterus, and may also be protective against diseases associated with these organs. Few clinical studies have endorsed the antioxidant potential of UD in patients. The current work is an attempt to comprehensively compile and discuss the antioxidant activity of UD from in vitro, in vivo and human studies. The insights of the current study would be helpful in getting a panoramic view of the antioxidant potential of UD, and provide direction for optimizing and developing it for therapeutic applications against important diseases and conditions in the near future.
UD是一种多功能植物，自古以来就被用作食物和药物。这种植物有潜力用作肥料和生物害虫防治。因其优质纤维，它还被用于纺织及相关行业。最近，这种植物因其众多重要的生物活性和食品应用而备受关注。UD的抗氧化活性是支持其重要生物活性的关键因素，如抗癌、抗糖尿病和抗炎特性。还发现UD的抗氧化活性对包括脑、肝、肺、肾、卵巢和子宫在内的不同器官具有保护作用，并且可能对与这些器官相关的疾病也有保护作用。很少有临床研究认可UD在患者体内的抗氧化潜力。当前的工作旨在全面汇编和讨论来自体外、体内和人体研究的UD的抗氧化活性。当前研究的见解将有助于全面了解UD的抗氧化潜力，并为在不久的将来针对重要疾病和病症优化和开发其治疗应用提供指导。
