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...

Assessment of seasonal variation in concentration of heavy metals–As, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb, and Zn from the Siloam Geothermal Spring and their impacts on surface soils and Mangifera indica were undertaken during winter and summer seasons in South Africa. This was done to determine the environmental pollution status of surface soils and Mangifera indica around the geothermal spring. The geothe...

The aim of this study was to determine the daidzein and genistein contents in Mangifera fruits. Three Mangifera species namely 'bacang' (Mangifera foetida), 'kuini' (M. odorata) and 'bambangan' (M. pajang) each from two different locations were selected. The extraction of isoflavones was carried out at 80oC for 30, 60 and 90 min. HPLC method was performed with a flow rate of 1.00 ml/min using t...

The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of Mangifera indica leaves extract on the kidney function parameters in alloxan induced diabetic Swiss albino mice. Forty five albino mice (weighing 28 to 32 g) were randomly divided into control, alloxan treated and Mangifera indica treated mice group. Diabetes was induced in mice by injecting intraperitoneally alloxan monohydrate at ...

background: heavy metals contaminations are recognized as the serious risk to our environment. the aim of the present study was to analyze heavy metals residue in cultivated mango samples from iran. methods: totally, 72 mango samples were randomly collected among six different mango genotypes cultivated in southern iran from june to july 2015. lead, chromium, cadmium, and arsenic were determine...

background: there is a worldwide interest in searching for potential and effective medicinal plant candidates against various diseases or disorders. till now, there are number of anti-inflammatory drugs like nsaids are available which showed various adverse effects in our body. to reduce these adverse effects, some of medicinal plants have been experimentally validated. aim: the aim of our immu...

Natural products isolated from plant sources are well known for their pharmacological potential in diversity of disease treatments such as inflammatory or cancer conditions. Mango (Mangifera indica L.) and Juglans regia are thought to be rich of functional phytochemicals. To elucidate the anticancer activity of Juglans regia (JR) and Mangifera indica L (MI) aqueous extract were investigated on ...

The present study was undertaken to isolate oil from Mangifera indica bark, Identification of various phytoconstituents and screening of immunostimulant activity in experimental animals. Methods: Immunostimulant activity was evaluated in rats as well as in mice by determining neutrophil adhesion to nylon threads and phagocytic index. Levamisole at a dose of 50 mg/kg, b.w was used as standard dr...

The purpose of this study was to characterize the anxiolytic activity of an Aqueous extract prepared from the leaves of Mangifera indica L (AEMI) using an elevated plus maze (EPM) model in rat and staircase model in mice. In elevated plus maze (EPM) model, At dose of Mangifera indica (250mg/kg and 500mg/kg) treated group showed significant increase in the % time spent in open arm and no. of ent...
