  ABSTRACT: The antioxidant activity of extract from roasted barley grain was evaluated by various methods in vitro and in vivo. Results showed that the extract exhibited high antioxidant activities in vitro and in vivo, evidenced by its ability to chelate ferrous ions, scavenge hydroxyl and superoxide radicals, and prevent lipid peroxidation of liver homogenate. The extract significantly increased the total antioxidant capability (T-AOC) in aged mice (P
