the traditional extraction method was used to evaluate the antioxidant properties of nettle leaves in soybean oil. also the effects of three different solvents (water, 80% methanol and chloroform) on the extraction content of phenolic and flavonoid compounds from nettle leaves were examined. water extract had the highest extraction yield, and chloroform extract had the highest extraction conten...

background & aim: applications of synthetic antioxidant in food have side effects. in present study, the antioxidant potential of morus alba leaves, as natural antioxidant, was screened with cupric ion reducing assay (cuprac assay) and inhibition of lipid peroxidation. the aim of this study was to determine the total antioxidant activity of morus alba leaves. martial & methods: the fir...

Background and aim: Diabetic nephropathy results from an increasing in oxidative stress. The phenolic components of mulberry (Morus nigra L.) leaves extract have antioxidant components and may modulate oxidative stress. In this study, the beneficial effects of mulberry leaves extract were assessed in diabetic nephropathy. Materials and methods: Diabetes induced by high-fat diet and injection of...

OBJECTIVE The present study was undertaken to evaluate the antitumor and antioxidant status of ethanol extract of Terminalia catappa leaves against Ehrlich ascites carcinoma (EAC) in Swiss albino mice. MATERIALS AND METHODS The leaves powder was extracted with Soxhlet apparatus and subjected to hot continuous percolation using ethanol (95% v/v). Tumor bearing animals was treated with 50 and 2...

In our earlier study, we have noticed the antistressor effects of ethanol extract of as leaves on noise induced changes in plasma corticosterone level (5). Hence, in this study, it was decided to evaluate the effect of ethanol extract of as leaves on the changes in total count (TC) and differential count (DC) of leucocytes in albino rats subjected to noise stress, because, the hematological par...

Antibacterial activity of aqueous and ethanol leaf extracts of Cadaba trifoliata was evaluated by cup plate method against bacterial strains such as Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, Acinetobacter, Enterobacter aerogenes, Erwinia and Escherichia coli. The ethanol extract of the leaves demonstrated a high degree of activity against all the tested bacterial strains except Erwinia and Acin...

Various solvent extract of leaves of Bryophyllum pinnatum were analyzed for antibacterial activity against selected species isolated from urine samples. To provide a scientific basis to treat UTIs, the extracts of leaves Bryophyllum pinnatum were subjected to antibacterial activity against selected bacterial species by well diffusion assay. MIC values were also determined to find minimum effect...

Madam, we compliment the team of investigators at the Sunset Poly Clinic in Karachi, Pakistan for their management of Dengue virus (DENV) associated thrombocytopenia in the 23 year-old male by the five day recipe of Circa papaya leaves extract.1We agree further well controlled studies should be carried out to establish the beneficial effects of Circa papaya leaves extract in DENV patients prese...
