ABSTRACT Evidence has demonstrated that athletes exhibit superior cognitive performance associated with executive control. In the oculomotor system, this function been examined using interleaved pro‐saccade and anti‐saccade task (IPAST), wherein participants, prior to target appearance, are instructed either automatically look at peripheral (pro‐saccade) or suppress automatic response voluntarily in opposite direction (anti‐saccade). While IPAST provided much insight into sensorimotor...

Ixora parviflora, a species of the Rubiaceae, is rich in polyphenols and flavonoids, has been traditionally used as folk medicine. An I. parviflora extract (IPE) great antioxidant activity vitro, including scavenging effect on superoxide radicals, reducing power, ferrous ion-chelating ability. However, whether IPE efficacious against oxidative damage vivo not known.
