Abroma augusta L. (Malvaceae) leaf is traditionally used to treat diabetes in India and Southern Asia. Therefore, current study was performed evaluate the protective effect of defatted methanol extract A. leaves (AA) against type 2 mellitus (T2DM) its associated nephropathy cardiomyopathy experimental rats.Antidiabetic activity AA extracts (100 200 mg/kg, p.o.) measured streptozotocin-nicotinamide induced diabetic (T2D) rat. Fasting blood glucose level (at specific interval) serum...
In the present study, we aimed to investigate antioxidant, cytotoxicity activities, and phytochemical profiling of O. stellata extracts. Qualitative tests showed presence different groups phytochemicals, mainly in polar solvents. Methanolic hydroalcoholic extracts high total phenolic flavonoid contents. The antioxidant activity was determined by using 2,2-Diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), metal chelating, reducing power assay where methanolic (IC50: 24.76 ± 2.78 μg/mL), 29.59 3.44 aqueous...
Abstract Drought stress remains a serious concern in Oryza sativa L. var indica , cultivar Satabdi (IET4786) production, particularly during the earliest growth phases, ultimately affecting yield due to recent trend of delayed rain arrival West Bengal, India. This study aimed develop cost-effective strategy improve drought tolerance capacity rice seedlings by priming seeds with flavonoid-enriched extract (FEE) French marigold ( Tagetes patula ) petals withstand initial milieu. The...
Abstract Asparagus racemosus Willd., a significant medicinal plant in India’s Darjeeling Himalayan region. The current study aims to assess the antidiabetic efficacy of aerial part Willd. utilizing streptozotocin-nicotinamide-induced diabetic rat model. methanolic extract (ARME) was evaluated for vitro activity through α-glucosidase and α-amylase enzyme suppression assay assessed vivo streptozotocin-induced A 21-day chronic multiple-dose ARME examined. STZ-induced rats were treated with...
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory disease associated with subsequent damage to the bone joints global incidence rate of 0.5–1%. To combat RA various commercially available anti-inflammatory drugs like non-steroidal (NSAIDs) are commonly practiced; however, their long-term exposure often results in eliciting gastrointestinal and renal toxicity. Given this, scientific communities searching for an alternative therapeutic option that seems less injurious equally efficacious....
Summary Spot blotch disease, caused by Bipolaris sorokiniana , is an important threat to wheat, causing annual loss of ~17%. Under epidemic conditions, these losses may be 100%, yet the molecular responses wheat spot remain almost uncharacterized. Moreover, defense‐related phytohormone signaling genes have been poorly characterized in wheat. Here, we identified 18 central components salicylic acid ( SA ), jasmonic JA ethylene ET and enhanced disease susceptibility 1 EDS 1) pathways as well...
Asparagus racemosus Willd. is widely used to combat various diseases owing its medicinal properties. In this study, arial parts of A. were investigated for their total phenolic content, flavonoid content and antioxidative potential. A high-performance thin-layer chromatography (HPTLC) method combined with effect-directed-analysis was also developed screen the antioxidant effects quantify biologically active compounds on chromatograms from racemosus. Total phenolics (154 mg gallic acid...
Eupatorium adenophorum Spreng. (E. adenophorum) [also known as Ageratina adenophora (Spreng.)] is a perennial and herbaceous invasive plant native to Mexico. Then, in the 1940s, it entered Yunnan Province of China spread China, South South-East Asia. Now distributed different regions world. Despite its nature, this used traditional medicine many parts world; hence further research works studies have been conducted explore potential therapeutic uses plant. The main focus review discuss...
Yarsagumba (Cordyceps sinensis or Ophiocordyceps sinensis) is a fungus that parasitizes ghost moth larvae and produces fruiting body prized as herbal medicine, belonging to the Ophiocordycipitaceae family. Cordyceps species are also known traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) it has wide applications in pharmaceutical health sectors. For thousands of years, been recognized Nepal. It one world's most promising medicinal mushrooms. Its unusual life cycle range medical piqued scientists' curiosity...
