The results showed that the winter samples of Moringa had...

The effect of different extracts of leaves and fruits of Moringa oleifera Lam. (Moringaceae) on gastric and duodenal ulcers was evaluated by using different gastric ulcer models and cysteamine-induced duodenal ulcer method. The leaf extracts (500mg=kg, p.o.) of Moringa oleifera showed gastric ulcer healing effect in acetic acid–induced chronic gastric ulcers. The acetone extract and methanol ex...

The leaves of Moringa oleifera Lam (Moringaceae) are used by the Indians in their herbal medicine as a hypocholesterolemic agent in obese patients. The scientific basis for their use in hypercholesterolemia was therefore examined. It was found that administration of the crude leaf extract of Moringa oleifera along with high-fat diet decreased the high-fat diet-induced increases in serum, liver,...

Moringa oleifera Lam (Moringaceae) is promising plant for biomedicine applications because it has an impressive range of medicinal purposes with high nutritional value. Therefore, we investigated the therapeutic effect of Moringa oleifera leaf extract (MOLE) on Ehrlich's solid tumor implanted mice (EST-mice). Swiss male albino mice were implanted intramuscularly with Ehrlich ascites carcinoma (...

The ethnolic extract of the leaves of Moringa oleifera Lam. (Fam. Moringaceae) was tested for antimicrobial activities against Gram Positive - Bacillus cereus, Bacillus subtilis Staphylococcus aureus, Sarcina lutea: Gram negative - Escherichia coli and Acid fast Mycobacterium phlei. Significant antimicrobial activity of the extract was found in this study.

objective: anti-inflammatory, immuno-modulatory, and antioxidant properties of moringa oleifera lam. suggest that it might have beneficial effects on colitis. the present study was performed to investigate the anticolitis effect of moringa oleifera seeds hydro-alcoholic extract (mshe) and its chloroform fraction (mcf) on acetic acid-induced colitis in rats. materials and methods: both mshe and ...
