In most nations, diabetes mellitus is a serious and rising health issue. The goal of the study was to compare antidiabetic effects leaves extracts Decalepis hamiltonii in normal diabetic rats induced with alloxan. Using 120 mg/kg alloxan monohydrate, induced. order considerably lower blood glucose levels both alloxan-induced rats, D. methanolic extract given at doses 200 mg 400 mg, along gliben...

Dear Editor: A recent article by Leung et al. (1) reported that drinking black tea has benefits equal to those of drinking green tea in terms of their antioxidant capacities because theaflavins present in black tea possess at least the same antioxidant potency as catechins present in green tea. As reported in related studies (2–4), it is clear that a group of theaflavins (TF) in black tea, spec...

Background: Synedrella nodiflora (L) Gaertn. belonging to the family Asteraceae contains steroids, reducing sugars, phenolic, flavonoids, saponins, tannins and triterpenoids. Therefore, this study is designed to investigate its antioxidant, analgesic and CNS depressant effects. Materials and Methods: The antioxidant activity of methanolic extract of S. nodiflora (SN) was determined using Folin ...

BACKGROUND This study was carried out to investigate the total polyphenol (TP), total flavonoid (TF), antioxidative effect and allyl isothyocyanate (ITC) content in different organs of wasabi plant grown in an organic system. MATERIALS AND METHODS Invitro study of methanol and boiled water extracts of wasabi were conducted by analyzing the 1-1-diphenyl-2-picryl hydrozyl (DPPH) radial scavengi...

this study was designed to evaluate the hepatoprotective and antioxidant activity of methanol extract of lippia nodiflora (meln) in acute experimental liver injury induced by paracetamol (750mg/kg, b.w). meln at the doses of 200 and 400mg/kg, p.o was administered for 7 days and biochemical parameters such as serum glutamate oxaloacetate transaminase (sgot), glutamate pyruvate transaminase (sgpt...

PURPOSE We assessed reproductive and testicular function in adult rats after testicular torsion created before, during and after puberty, and with vs without resveratrol or arginine treatment. MATERIALS AND METHODS Age matched rats were divided into groups, including simulated surgery without testicular torsion, 720-degree testicular torsion for 4 hours, testicular torsion with resveratrol tr...

The aim of this research was to perform a phytochemical study of the methanol leaves extract of T. guianensis (MET) guided by vasodilatory and antioxidant activities. The chemical profile of MET and the ethyl acetate fraction (EA fraction) was determined by HPLC-UV-MS and EA fraction guided fractionation by reverse-phase chromatography. The vasorelaxant effects of MET, fractions, sub-fractions ...
