Background: Hyperglycemia may induce endothelial dysfunction. Chromium Supplementation enhances endothelial relaxation and may improve endothelial dysfunction. Present study was planned to evaluate effect of proprietary chromium complex(PPC) and its individual components on endothelial dysfunction and lipid profile in type 2diabetics. Methodology: Study was done in two parts. In part I, PPC 400...

The analgesic activity of the methanol extract of Phyllanthus lawii (MEPL) was investigated in Swiss albino mice with hot plate and acetic acid induced writhing models. The results suggested that MEPL possess potent analgesic activity. The MEPL produced a significant decrease in mice writhing induced by acetic acid suggesting peripheral analgesic activity and elevated mean basal reaction time i...

Recent molecular phylogenetic studies and reevaluation of morphological characters have led to the inclusion of Glochidion within a broader delimitation of Phyllanthus. It is necessary for preparation of the Vascular Flora of the Marquesas Islands to make new combinations for the Marquesan species. We also provide the relevant combinations and listing of all of the currently accepted species of...

Phytochemical studies of whole plant of Phyllanthus debilis Klein.ex.willd (Euphorbiaceae) reveals the presence of phytosterols, lignans, glycosides and absence of saponin, triterpenoids, tannins and alkaloids have been reported in this plant for the first time.

BACKGROUND AND AIM Potentially life-threatening and unpleasant side effects associated with some analgesics have fueled the drive for the search for more analgesics with better side effect profiles. Geraniin, the most dominant secondary metabolite in the aqueous extract of the aerial parts of Phyllanthus muellerianus, has been shown to possess antinociceptive properties mediated partly by opioi...

The harvest of non-timber forest products (NTFPs), together with other sources of anthropogenic disturbance, impact plant populations greatly. Despite this, conservation research on NTFPs typically focuses on harvest alone, ignoring possible confounding effects of other anthropogenic and ecological factors. Disentangling anthropogenic disturbances is critical in regions such as India's Western ...

Three new species of Epicephala Meyrick, 1880 are described based on specimens reared from fruits of Phyllanthusmicrocarpus (Benth.): Epicephalamicrocarpa sp. n. and Epicephalalaeviclada sp. n. from Guangxi and Hainan, and Epicephalatertiaria sp. n. from Guangdong and Guangxi. Photographs of adults and illustrations of genital structures are provided.

Phyllanthus emblica is an affluent source of various therapeutic components. A few of them like vitamin C and flavonoids are predominant bioactive compounds that are being used in immense pharmacological applications. In-spite of numerous applications, the genomic information of this plant was limited to a few expressed sequence tags (ESTs) in DNA databases. Herein, we developed in-depth transc...

Objective: This study aims to develop and evaluate the phytosome of Phyllanthus emblica L. fruit extract. Methods: The formation was performed by using three methods, namely solvent evaporation, antisolvent, thin layer method. evaluated for its entrapment efficiency, particle size, polydispersity index, Fourier Transform Infra-Red (FTIR), Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM) methods. made int...
