Adipocyte tissue inflammation orchestrates the occurrence and development of diseases induced by obesity. Here, effects Lagerstroemia speciosa (L.) Pers total flavonoids (LTF) on TNF-α-induced insulin resistance (IR) inflammatory response in 3T3-L1 adipocytes underlying mechanisms were studied. Cell glucose uptake test confirmed that TNF-α could induce IR adipocytes. The sensitivity to was incr...

Lagerstroemia speciosais commonly known as Banaba or Jarul which is used to get rid of various ailments such fever, urinary infection, decongestion, diarrhoea, mouth ulcers, astringent, diabetes mellitus, kidney diseases, abdominal pains etc. The present work, describes the green synthesis silver nanoparticles from ethanolic extract fruits L.speciosa (Ls-Ag NPs) and their analysis for antimicro...

Current vegetation maps show evergreen forests of Cambodia as one homogenous forest type. However, ecological field studies in the central plains demonstrated a heterogenous mosaic different types, each with unique species composition and characteristics. Based on six botanical expeditions, we describe four lowland types: 1) riverine dominated by Dipterocarpus costatus (Dipterocarpaceae); 2) ta...

Abstract The aim of this study was to estimate reproductive effort and success in tropical trees examine the effect pollen limitation on success. Pollen assessed through supplementation experiment contrast open pollination treatment. taxa selected were Bombax ceiba, Erythrina stricta (ornithophilous trees), Lagerstroemia speciosa, Mesua ferrea Schima wallichii (entomophilous trees).
