Methyl 3-O-methylgallate (M3OMG) possesses antioxidant effect and can protect neuronal cells from oxidative damage[1].
Methyl 3-O-methylgallate (M3OMG; 10 and 20 mg/kg, i.p., ) treatment mitigated the NaF-induced oxidative stress through normalization of the level of TBARS, reduced levels of glutathione and by the restoration of the diminished antioxidant enzyme activities[1].
