Medicinal plants are an important source of substances which are claimed to induce anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. The leaves of the olive tree (Oleaeur opaea) have been used for medicinal purposes since ancient times and research has suggested that olive leaf extracts have antimicrobial and antimutagenic properties. In this study, Olive leaf aqueous extracts were screened for their ...

P. niruri has been reported to possess antidiabetic and kidney protective effects. In the present study, the phytochemical constituents and in vitro antioxidant activity of P. niruri leaf aqueous extract were investigated together with its effect on oxidative stress and antioxidant enzymes levels in diabetic rat kidney. Results. Treatment of diabetic male rats with P. niruri leaf aqueous extrac...

Background: The Gundilia tournefortii leaf contains the chemical compound such as saturated and unsaturated fatty acids. Saturated fatty acid includes stearic and palmitic acid and unsaturated include linoleic and oleic acid, that, these compounds inhibit 5 reductase enzyme. The present study was carried out with the aim of determining the effect of Gundilia tournefortii leaf on spermatogenesis...

Typhonium flagelliforme or known as rat taro is a herbaceous plant that belongs to the tribe. The results of phytochemical analysis leaves and tuber extracts are contain secondary metabolite compounds belonging class flavonoids, alkaloids, triterpenoids, steroids, saponins, tannins which act antimicrobials. This study aims determine effectiveness leaf, stem (Typhonium (Lodd)) biofungicide again...

OBJECTIVE To study detail pharmacognosy and anti-inflammatory activity of Callistemon lanceolatus (C. lanceolatus) leaf. METHODS Leaf sample was studied by organoleptic, macroscopical, microscopical, phytochemical and other WHO recommended methods for standardizations. The methanolic leaf extract of the plant was also screened for anti-inflammatory activity on carrageenan-induced paw edema in...

the side effects associated with the usage of synthetic antidiabetic drugs make it imperative to search for alternative drugs from medicinal plants. therefore, this study was aimed at evaluating the α-amylase and α-glucosidase inhibitory potential of calotropis procera leaf, as well as its possible mode of inhibiting these enzymes. acetone, aqueous and ethanolic extracts of c. procera leaf was ...

Background: There is accumulating evidence that Juglans regia L. (GRL) leaf extract has hypoglycemic and antioxidative properties. The present study aimed to investigate the protective effects of GRL leaf extract against diabetic nephropathy (DN). Methods: In total, 28 male adult Sprague-Dawley rats were used. The DN rat model was generated by intraperitoneal injection of a single 55 mg/kg dose...

Olives and olive oil contain large amounts of oleuropein. This phenolic compound is responsible for theirbitter taste and pungent aroma and has been recognized as a powerful hypotensive, hypoglycemic andantioxidant agent. Thus, the aim of the present study was to evaluate the antioxidant properties of oleuropein on ethanol-induced oxidative damage and to examine its beneficial effects on liver ...
