When examining the physiological role of 5-HT in other cell types, in regards to apoptosis and cellular responses to stress, 5-HT is generally anti-apoptotic [ 30 31 32 ] . In particular, in neuronal cells the 5-HT 1A receptor is upregulated under conditions of cellular stress and is anti-apoptotic [ 33 34 ] . The anti-apoptotic effects of 5-HT maybe due to scavenging of reactive oxygen species [ 35 ] as well as stimulation of the ERK pathway which results in inhibition of a caspase-3-like enzyme [ 32 ] . There are no currently published studies examining the role of 5-HT as an anti-apoptotic factor in vascular smooth muscle cells.
The degree of DPPH radical scavenging activity of the antioxidants was calculated as percentage of inhibition (% inhibition) by the following expression: % inhibition = [(A control - A sample ) / A control ] * 100 where A control is the absorbance at time = 0, and A sample is the absorbance of the sample at time = 5 min.
Silymarin has long been noted for its hepatoprotective properties [ 13 ] . The mechanisms through which SY is thought to manifest its therapeutic effects include the following: 1) enhanced protein synthesis [ 14 ] , 2) scavenging free radicals [ 15 ] , 3) prevention of glutathione (GSH) depletion [ 16 ] , and 4) preservation of cell membrane integrity [ 17 ] . The theories formulated to explain the physiological events that culminate in fetal alcohol syndrome include decreased antioxidant levels, decreased protein synthesis, increased free radical activity, and disrupted membrane function.
The DPPH radical scavenging capacity as previously reported [ 24 ] was modified as follows.
The phytochemical mixtures found in the teas, cat's claw and green tea, appear to be more effective than vitamin C in some cell lines and at concentrations that suggest that they may be acting at levels distinct from the mere scavenging of the oxidant signal.
