| Abstract |
Organic solvent (methanol, ethanol, and acetone) extracts and water extracts of cherry (Prunus serrulata var. spontanea) blossoms were prepared, and antioxidant activities of the extracts were evaluated. Methanolic CBE (100 microg/ml) showed the highest total phenol content (104.30 microM), radical scavenging activity (34.2%), and reducing power (0.391). The effect of CBE on DNA damage induced by H(2)O(2) in human leukocytes was evaluated by Comet assay. All CBE was a potent dose dependent inhibitor of DNA damage induced by 200 microM of H(2)O(2), methanolic CBE showed the most strong inhibition activity. The methanolic CBE of 500 microg/ml showed 38.8% inhibition against growth of human colon cancer cell line HT-29. These results indicated that cherry blossoms could provide valuable bioactive materials. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 6. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 13 April 2024.
All research outputs
#6,483,155
of 25,709,917 outputs
Outputs from Plant Foods for Human Nutrition
#240
of 748 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#23,634
of 80,614 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Plant Foods for Human Nutrition
#2
of 4 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,709,917 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 74th percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 748 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 9.2. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 67% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 80,614 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 70% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 4 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than 2 of them.
