The present study was carried out in rats to test the efficacy of aqueous combined extract of E.jambolana and A .marmelos on serum insulin, hyperglycemia and serum lipid profile changes associated with diabetes. Eugenia jambolana and Aegle marmelos are used extensively in the indigenous system of medicine as an anti-diabetic agent. The current investigation focuses on the serum insulin augmenta...

The aqueous extract of leaf of Aegle marmelos (Bael) at the dose 50 mg/100 g body weight resulted a significant diminution in the activities of testicular key steroidogenic enzymes along with low levels of plasma testosterone and relative wet weights of sex organs in respect to control without any significant alteration in general body growth. Germ cells numbers in different generation at stage...

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the safety of a Thai medicinal plant, Aegle marmelos, and a non-caloric sweetener, Stevia rebaudiana, on the reproduction of female rats. Female rats were treated orally with aqueous extract of A. marmelos (6%) and S. rebaudiana at various concentrations (0, 0.2, 1, or 10%) for 60 days (1 ml/day) before mating. The control rats received only distilled w...

This report describes the synthesis of metallic silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using extracts of four medicinal plants (Aegle marmelos (A. marmelos), Alstonia scholaris (A. scholaris), Andrographis paniculata (A. paniculata) and Centella asiatica (C. asiatica)). The bio-conjugates were characterized by UV–visible spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopyenergy dispersive spectroscopy (SEM-EDS), ...

Aegle marmelos (Rutaceae) is being used in traditional medicine treatments, such as for intermittent fever, intestinal ailments, fertility control etc. It has been proved to be effective against several major diseases including cancer, diabetis and cardiovascular diseases. Although the plant is a well known male antifertility plant, till today only the crude extracts of the plant were screened ...

mucoadhesive polymers that bind to the gastric mucin or epithelial cell surface are useful in drug delivery for the purpose of increasing the intimacy and duration of contact of drug with the absorbing membrane. several synthetic polymers are in use for this purpose. since the biodegradability of the synthetic polymers are questionable, in this investigation, an oral mucoadhesive controlled del...

in this research, microwave-assisted hydrodistillation (md) with pretreatment ultrasound (us) 45 and 90 min of essential oils from fresh aegle marmelos peel were used and the results were compared with those obtained by hydrodistillation technique (hd) in terms of extraction yield/efficiency, extraction time, chemical composition and quality of the essential oil. all experiments were performed ...

Mosquitoes transmit serious human diseases, causing millions of deaths every year. Use of synthetic insecticides to control vector mosquitoes has caused physiological resistance and adverse environmental effects in addition to high operational cost. Insecticides of botanical origin may serve as suitable alternative biocontrol techniques in the future. The present investigations were made to eva...
