Investigation of antioxidant effects of the viscera extract of the marine cucumber Holothurian lessons

Oceans are the origin of life and the source of various natural compounds incorporated in organisms. Bioactive compounds as sources of food and medicine have been isolated from diverse animal groups such as Corals (Cnidaria), Crabs, Tunics, Echinodermata, Bryozoans, Fish, sponges, jellyfish, and many other sea creatures. Sea cucumbers are one of the taxonomies of Echinodermata. These animals belong to the subphylum Espinoza, have leathery bodies, and live mainly on the seabed. Naming these animals is due to their cucumber shape. Free radicals are molecules with unpaired electrons in the outer layer that are unstable and highly active. Accumulating these oxidant substances mainly activates oxygenation in the human body, causing oxidative damage to DNA and other cell components and Cancer. On the other hand, antioxidants neutralize biomolecules by giving one of their electrons to prevent or delay oxidation, so antioxidants are irrefutable to protect the body against diseases like Cancer. The primary goal of this study is to evaluate the antioxidant effects of the viscera extract of the sea cucumber Holothurian lessons.
