Sea cucumbers saponins are triterpenoid glycosides which exert beneficial biomedical effects. This study was performed to assess the effect of saponin extracted from sea cucumber Holothuria leucospilota (H. leucospilota) on maturation of mice oocytes and granulosa cells. The germinal vesicles oocytes were collected from 6-8 weeks old Naval Medical Research Institute (NMRI) mice ovaries, randoml...

background: the present study aimed to survey antileishmanial activity of methanolic holothuria leucospilota extract against leishmania major promastigotes in vitro. methods: promastigotes were cultured in rpmi 1640 and after reaching the stationary phase, the study was conducted with different concentrations of the extract. afterwards, mtt colorimetric assay for the obtaining of 50% inhibitory...
