Bol. latinoam. Caribe plantas med. aromát; 20 (6), 2021

Lophophytum species are holoparasites that grow on tree roots. The objectives of the work were to explore the chemical composition of the tubers of two Lophophytum species and to analyze the antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antilithiatic activity of their extracts using in vitro methods. The chemical ...

Sarkar, Purabi; Nath, Kaberi; Banu, Sofia.

Braz. J. Pharm. Sci. (Online); 55 (), 2019

Oxidative stress plays the central role in the pathogenesis and progression of diabetic complications. The present study aims to investigate the beneficial effect of oral administration of flavone baicalein in streptozotocin-nicotinamide (STZ-NA) induced diabetic rats by measuring oxidative stress marker...
