UNLABELLED Mango (>Mangifera indica) belonging to Anacardiaceae family is a fruit that grows in tropical regions. It is considered as the King of fruits. The present work was taken up to identify a tool in identifying the mango species at the molecular level. The chloroplast trnL-F region was amplified from extracted total genomic DNA using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and sequenced. Seq...

The large amount of waste produced by the food industries causes serious environmental problems and also results in economic losses if not utilized effectively. Different research reports have revealed that food industry by-products can be good sources of potentially valuable bioactive compounds. As such, the mango juice industry uses only the edible portions of the mangoes, and a considerable ...

Siddha system specifies medicinal plants containing various metal constituents for curing ailments. The plants reported as copper containing were subjected to atomic absorption spectrophotometic analysis. Among these mangifera indica and coccinia indica were found to contain comparatively higher content of copper while manganese was move in coccinia indica aloe perfoliata, cassia auriculata and...

Mango, Mangifera indica (Anacardiaceae), is a crop cultivated pantropically. There are, however, many other Mangifera spp ("mango relatives") which have much more restricted distributions and are poorly known but have potential to produce mango-like fruits in areas where mangoes do not grow well or could be tapped in mango breeding programs. Because of the restricted distribution of many of the...

Lipofundin is a lipid rich emulsion used in parenteral nutrition. It is known that Lipofundin induces an oxidative stress state characterized by an increase of lipid peroxidation and a dramatic depletion of antioxidants. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effects of an aqueous extract of Mangifera indica L., on Lipofundin-induced oxidative stress. Male Sprague Dawley rats were tre...

Objectives: This study was carried out to assess the histomorphological findings of the liver of Plasmodium-infected albino mice following administration of aqueous leaf extract of Mangifera indica. Methods: Forty-two male albino mice, weighing 20–25 g, were used for this research. The mice were randomly assigned into six groups A, B, C, D, E and F (n=7, each). Groups B, C, D, E and F were infe...

There is little scientific evidence on the local use of Mangifera indica in kidney diseases. This study investigated the reno-modulatory roles of the aqueous stem bark extract of Mangifera indica (MIASE) against CCl4-induced renal damage. Rats were treated intragastrically with 125, 250 and 500 mg/kg/day MIASE for 7 days before and after the administration of CCl4 (3 ml/kg of 30% CCl4, i.p.). S...

In vitro antispermogenic activity of an isolated triterpenoid from the extract of the root of the plant Mangifera indica L. was evaluated. The structure (3-O-acetyl-11,19-dinor-12,20-dimethylursane) was confirmed by the help of different spectral analysis.
