Objective To study antioxidative activity and α-glucosidase inhibitory activity of ethanol extract from Rosa laevigata Michx.(R. laevigata). Methods The antioxidative activity of ethanol extract from R. laevigata were determinated byβ-carotene-linoleic acid bleaching, DPPH and NO scavenging assay. And the α-glucosidase inhibitory activity of ethanol extract from R. laevigata was measured by α-glucosidase inhibitory assay. Results The ethanol extract from R. laevigata showed strong antioxidant activity and possessed α-glucosidase inhibiti...
