Hepatoprotective Effect of Guava (Psidium guajava L.) Leaf Extracts on Ethanol-Induced Injury on Clone 9 Rat Liver Cells

Guava (Psidium guajava L.), a tropical fruit, belongs to Myrtaceae family. Leaves and fruits of guava have been reported to have an anti-diarrheal, hypoglycemic, lipid lowering, anti-bacterial in addition to antioxidant activities. The aim of this study was to investigate several guava leaf extract cytotoxic effects on healthy clone 9 liver cells and its hepatoprotective effects on ethanol-indu...

Antioxidant activity of Aegle marmelos and Psidium guajava leaves

Aegle marmelos, Bilwa (AM) and Psidium guajava, Guava, (PG) leaves were screened for phytochemicals by sequential extraction using a series of solvents. The antioxidant components such as β-carotene, α-Tocopherol, glutathione, ascorbic acid, total polyphenols and flavonoids were also analyzed. In addition, the leaves were extracted with methanol (ME), ethanol (EE) and water (WE) and the polyphe...

Isolation and characterization of microsatellite loci from Psidium guajava L

A (GA) n and (GT) n microsatellite-enriched library was constructed and 23 nuclear simple sequence repeat (SSR) loci were characterized in the guava species ( Psidium guajava L.). All SSR loci were found to be polymorphic after screening for diversity in different cultivars, and across-taxa amplification tests showed the potential transferability of most SSR markers in three other Psidium speci...
