BACKGROUND Obesity and related complications have now became epidemic both in developed and developing countries. Cafeteria type diet mainly composed of high fat high carbohydrate components which plays a significant role in the development of obesity and metabolic syndrome. This study investigated the effect of Syzygium cumini seed powder on fat accumulation and dyslipidemia in high carbohydra...

the aqueous extract of syzygium cumini (pulp) was investigated for its possible hypoglycemic and antioxidant potentials in streptozotocin (stz) induced diabetic wistar female rats. a single intraperitoneal injection of stz at a dose of 55 mg/kg body weight elevated the glucose levels more than 230 mg/dl after 3 days. treatment with the aqueous extract of syzygium cumini (pulp) at 100 mg/kg and ...

Diarrheal diseases are a leading cause of mortality and morbidity especially among children in developing countries resulting in a major health care problem. Medicinal plants constitute the major component of traditional medicine practiced worldwide due to the economical viability, accessibility, and ancestral experience. Two medicinal plants (Punica granatum, Syzygium cumini) used in diarrheal...

In the present study a hydroalcoholic extract of Syzygium cumini seeds have been investigated for its antioxidant activity in aspirin induced peptic ulcer in rats with the aim of exploring possible correlation between its antioxidant and antiulcer activities. Oxygen free radicals are considered to be important factors in the pathogenesis of peptic ulcer. The level of lipid peroxide was elevated...

In the present study, the antibacterial and DPPH radical scavenging activities of the leaf extracts and leaf essential oil of Syzygium cumini Linn were investigated. The antibacterial potential of the leaf essential oil, petroleum ether, chloroform, ethyl acetate and methanol extracts of the leaves of Syzygium cumini Linn were studied against human pathogenic bacteria viz. Bacillus cereus, Ente...

Aim of this article briefly focus on the potential phytochemicals and pharmacological activity of Syzygium cumini. Various parts of plant including seeds, bark, leaves and fruits had been studied and investigated for various pharmacological properties. The phytochemicals like malieic acid, oxalic acid, gallic acid, tannins, cynidin glycoside, oleanolic acid, flavonoids, essential oils, betulini...

Syzygium species are well known plants in the traditional system of Indian medicine with valuable medicinal properties like anti-hyperglycemic, anti-bacterial, hepato-protective, anti-diabetic, anti-inflammatory, chemopreventive, diuretic, etc. In our study, cumulative administration (936.55 μg/ml) of the ethanolic extract of Syzygium cumini seed relaxed (55 %) the rat uterus smooth muscle agai...

The effect of different pretreatment methods, temperature, and enzyme concentration on ethanol production from 8 lignocellulosic agrowaste by simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) using recombinant cellulase and Saccharomyces cerevisiae were studied. Recombinant cellulase was isolated from E. coli BL21 cells transformed with CtLic26A-Cel5-CBM11 full-length gene from Clostridium t...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the acaricidal activity of different extracts from Syzygium cumini (S. cumini) (Pomposia) againsst Tetranychus urticae Koch (T. urticae) and the biochemical changes in antioxidants enzymes. METHODS Six extracts of S. cumini (Pomposia) at concentrations of 75, 150 and 300µg/mL were used to control T. urticae (Koch). RESULTS The ethanol extract showed the most efficie...
