ABSTRACT
Coriander comes from Coriandrum sativum L. and is related to parsley, carrots, and celery. It is an annual herb most commonly used for flavoring purposes in many cuisines worldwide. It also gained recognition because of its easy processing and outstanding nutritional aspect. It is a rich reservoir of many micronutrients and possesses active constituents that work to scavenge oxidative stress; it has been used in therapeutics for a long time. Most of the pathways of metabolic disorders are remarkably mediated by reactive oxygen species, and the use of coriander against these models can provide insight into the mechanism of handling oxidative stress and for initiating and maintaining repair processes. Its antimicrobial, antipsychotic, anti-hyperglycemic, and anti-hyperlipidemic effects are well reported in humans; however, very limited effects are reported in in vivo animal models. Animal models are an old practice in biological research and medicine for scientific purposes. In this chapter, coriander as antioxidant in biological animal models is reported.
