Cancer radiotherapy aims to effectively kill tumor cells but inexorably damages normal tissues which is undesirable. The success of radiotherapy lies in sparing normal tissues from radiation damage. Natural phytochemicals possess attribute which might protect normal cells but enhance tumor cell susceptibility followed by radiotherapy through modulating cellular molecular targets. Previous resul...

effect of methanolic leaf extract of moringa oleifera for the stabilization of butter oil with modified fatty acid profile at ambient temperature was investigated. twelve sahiwal cows of first and early lactation were randomly stratified into two groups in a completely randomized design and fatty acid profile of milk fat was modified by feeding 300 grams calcium salts of fatty acids (per cow pe...

The antioxidant and hepatoprotective activities of the extract of Moringa oleifera leaves were investigated against CCl₄-induced hepatotoxicity in rats. Hepatotoxic rats were treated with ethanol extract of Moringa oleifera for a period of 60 days at the following three dose levels; 100, 200 and 400 mg/kg body weight/day, orally. The activities were studied by assaying the serum marker enzymes ...

thirty five growing male goats (6.98±0.86 kg bw) were divided into five equal groups with seven animals in each group. the five dietary treatments were consisted of varying proportions of moringa foliage (moringa oleifera) and napier grass (pennisetum purpurium); t1 (100% moringa foliage); t2 (75% moringa foliage+25% napier grass); t3 (50% moringa foliage+50% napier grass); t4 (25% moringa foli...

Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) play an important factor for pathophysiology of diabetes and its complications. Moringa oleifera is one of the medicinal plants that have anti-hyperglycemic activity. However, anti-glycation property of Moringa oleifera leaf extract on the different types of reducing monosaccharides-induced protein glycation has not been investigated. Therefore, the aim of...

Background: This study investigated the effects of pre-treatment with Moringa oleifera extract on the histomorphology and histomorphometry of the pylorus and duodenum of rats following ethanol-induced gastrointestinal injury. Methods: Following extract and ethanol treatment, pylorus and duodenum of the rats were processed for histological procedures, and tissue quantification of total antioxida...

Aim: To evaluate the antibacterial activity of different leaf extracts of Moringa oleifera growing in Sudan. Methodology: The antibacterial activity of leaf extracts (Water, Butanol, Ethyl acetate and Chloroform) of Moringa oleifera were investigated in vitro using Agar-well diffusion method against eight different Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria. Results: Ethyl acetate extract recorde...

The purpose of the present study was to examine the physico-chemical properties, fatty acids composition, unsaponifiable matter, tocopherols and phenolic content of Moringa oleifera seed oil from Al-Ahsa, Saudi Arabia. In addition, biological evaluation of this oil was determined. Moringa oil showed a better overall quality, its, acid, peroxide, iodine, saponification values. Sterol fraction wa...

BACKGROUND Moringa oleifera Lam., an herb commonly consumed by HIV-infected people on antiretroviral therapy, inhibits cytochrome P450 3A4, 1A2 and 2D6 activity in vitro; and may alter the pharmacokinetics (PK) of antiretroviral drugs metabolized via the same pathways. However, in vitro drug interaction activity may not translate to a clinically significant effect. Therefore, the effect of mori...

The present study was aimed to the pharmacological screening some traditional Indian medicinal plants for its anti-inflammatory activity. The methanolic and aqueous extracts of leaves of Moringa oleifera and Ocimum gratissimum were taken and evaluated for their anti-inflammatory potential using carrageenan induced hind paw edema method. The methanolic and aqueous extracts of Ocimum gratissimum ...
