Unveiling the Antioxidant Power and Secondary Metabolites of <i>Tabebuia chrysantha</i> (Jacq.) Leaves and Flowers from Ecuador by Raluca A. Mihai, Ramiro Fernando Vivanco Gonzaga, Nelson Santiago Cubi Insuaste, Nilo Rigoberto Maza Morocho, Rodica D. Catana

“…Leaves exhibited consistently higher flavonoid levels (e.g., 0.280 ± 0.005 mg QE/g DW) and superior antioxidant capacity across all assays (e.g., 10.84 ± 0.51 µmol Trolox g⁻¹ DW in ABTS) compared to flowers, which showed greater variability but lower overall activity. These findings highlight a functional specialization, with leaves synthesizing more flavonoids to mitigate oxidative stress from environmental factors such as UV radiation. …”
