Abstract
The present study aimed to determine the total antioxidant status (TAS), total oxidant status (TOS) and oxidative stress index (OSI) of ethanol extracts of Helvella leucomelaena (Pers.) Nannf and Sarcosphaera coronaria (Jacq.) J. Schröt. Mushrooms collected from Gaziantep province. TAS, TOS and OSI values were determined with Rel Assay Diagnostics kits. It was determined that the TAS values of H. leucomelaena and S. coronaria mushrooms were 2.367 and 1.066, respectively, and the TOS values were 55.346 and 41.662, respectively. OSI values were calculated as 2.338 and 3.909 for H. leucomelaena and S. coronaria mushrooms, respectively. As a result, it has been determined that fungi have high oxidant levels despite antioxidant potential.
