The present study was carried out to evaluate the antihyperglycemic property of Terminalia arjuna in streptozotocin-induced type 2 diabetic model rats. To and antioxidant role ethanol extract leaf Hyperglycemia induced rats by single intraperitoneal injection streptozotocin (STZ, 120mg/kg body weight). Three days after STZ induction, hyperglycemic were treated with a dilution bark T. orally at ...

A serine Kunitz protease inhibitor was isolated from the semi-mature leaves of Terminalia arjuna, a host plant for Antheraea mylitta, using ammonium sulphate fractionation, gel permeation chromatography and trypsin–sepharose affinity chromatography. A 29-fold purification of T. arjuna Trypsin Inhibitor (TaTI) with a yield recovery of 3.2% was achieved. The purified protease inhibitor (TaTI) was...

Terminalia arjuna (Roxb.) Wight & Arn., a widely growing plant in India, possesses different medicinal properties and its bark is well known for their bone remineralization properties. The objective of present study was to evaluate antiosteoporotic activity of ethanol extract of T. arjuna (EET) on ovariectomized female Sprague Dawley model rats, divided into six groups. Sham operated control gr...

BACKGROUND Arjunarishta (AA), a formulation used as cardiotonic is a hydroalcoholic formulation of Terminalia arjuna (Roxb.) Wight and Arn. (TA) belonging to family Combretaceae. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the anti-hyperglycemic and anti-hyperlipidemic effect of Arjunarishta on high-fat diet fed animals. MATERIALS AND METHODS High-fat diet fed (HFD) Wistar rats were randomly divided into three g...

Antitussive effects of ethyl acetate fraction of Terminalia chebula on sulphur dioxide (SO2) gas induced cough have been examined in mice. Safety profile of Terminalia chebula was established by determining LD50 and acute neurotoxicity. The result showed that extract of Terminalia chebula dose dependently suppressed SO2 gas induced cough in mice. Terminalia chebula, after i.p. administration at...

Numerous herbs have been used successfully in treating dermatologic disorders for thousands years and still widely used because it is easy to find, cheap and to avoid the side effects and complications of topical steroids. Terminalia chebula, commonly found in India and Southeast Asia, is thought to be effective for treating several diseases including inflammation and reported as an anti-oxidan...
