The novel antihyperglycaemic action of Hunteria umbellata seed fractions mediated via intestinal glucose uptake inhibition.
The present study evaluated the antihyperglycaemic effect and mechanism of action of fractions of the aqueous seed extract of Hunteria umbellata (K. Schum.) Hallier f. (HU) in normal and alloxan-induced hyperglycaemic rats. HU was partitioned in chloroform, acetyl acetate and butan-1-ol to give chloroform fraction (HU c), ethyl acetate fraction (HU e), butanol fraction (HU b) and the "residue" ...
متن کاملAntioxidant and Anti-Inflammatory Activities of Barettin
In this paper, we present novel bioactivity for barettin isolated from the marine sponge Geodia barretti. We found that barettin showed strong antioxidant activity in biochemical assays as well as in a lipid peroxidation cell assay. A de-brominated synthetic analogue of barettin did not show the same activity in the antioxidant cell assay, indicating that bromine is important for cellular activ...
متن کاملAntioxidant, anti-acetylcholinesterase, anti-inflammatory and DNA protection activities of Glaucium grandiflorum var. grandiflorum.
In this study, the antioxidant, antiacetylcholinesterase, anti-inflammatory, and DNA protecting activities of the aerial parts of Glaucium grandiflorum var. grandiflorum were evaluated. It was found that the lyophilized methanolic extract exhibited an inhibitory capacity against FeCl3/ascorbic acid induced posphatidylcholine liposome oxidation (EC50 = 2.62 0.08 mg/mL), quenched HOCl (5.87 0...
متن کاملPhenolics content and antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities of legume fractions.
Two faba bean (Vicia faba L.) subspecies major and minor and lentil seeds grown in Algeria were separated into cotyledons and hulls. These fractions, together with their corresponding whole seeds, were extracted with two solvents, aqueous (70%) acetone and (80%) ethanol, and evaluated for antioxidant activity in relation to their phenolic contents. Acetone selectively extracted tannins from fab...
متن کاملAnalgesic activity of the aqueous seed extract of Hunteria umbellata (K. Schum.) Hallier f. in rodents.
The analgesic effect and possible mechanism(s) of action of 50-200 mg/kg of the aqueous seed extract of H. umbellata (HU) were investigated in different experimental models of analgesia using the tail flick, tail immersion, acetic acid-induced writhing tests and formalin-induced algesia. Oral pre-treatment with 50-200 mg/kg of HU caused significant and dose related analgesic effect in the treat...
