African Nutmeg (Monodora Myristica) Lowers Cholesterol and Modulates Lipid Peroxidation in Experimentally Induced Hypercholesterolemic Male Wistar Rats
To evaluate the cholesterol lowering potential and protective ability of aqueous extract of Monodora myristica experimental hypercholesterolemic rats, a short-term study was conducted. Hypercholesterolemia was induced by administering cholesterol orally at a dose of 40 mg/kg/0.3 ml. Plant extracts 100 or 200 mg/kg body weight and Questran 0.26 g/kg were administered five times a week for eight ...

متن کاملPreliminary screening of potential flavonoid-subclasses in Myristica fragrans and Cordyline terminalis by LC- ESI-MS
Although extensive literature exists on antioxidant properties of medicinal plants, very few studies have focused on their polyphenolic composition. Here, preliminary phytochemical screening and total flavonoid content in extracts of seeds of Myristica fragrans and leaves of Cordyline terminalis have been investigated. Screening of potential flavonoid-subclasses was done by LC-ESI-MS, whose dat...
