In Vivo Evaluation of Mimosa Pudica Linn. in the Management of Polycystic Ovary Using Rat Model

This study aimed to evaluate the effect of Mimosa pudica Linn. (MP) in the treatment of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) using a Letrozole induced PCOS rat model. PCOS was induced in albino wistar female rats by daily oral administration of Letrozole for 21 days. The low (250 mg/kg), mid (500 mg/kg) and high dose (1000 mg/kg) of MP was given orally to the PCOS induced rats for 15 days post Letr...

Mimosa pudica, Dionaea muscipula and anesthetics.

Some studies showed that anesthetics reduce the response of physical stimuli in Mimosa pudica and in Venus Flytrap (Dionaea muscipula), peculiar plants that have the ability to respond to touch stimuli. In this research we tested the effects of ketamine, lidocaine, diethyl ether, and amlodipine on the movements of Mimosa pudica and Venus Flytrap. With a literature review, we tried to bring elem...
