P Guajava Lab Report
2.2.3 P. guajava :-
P. guajava leaf extracts were subjected to inhibitory effect of glucose utilization using specific standard in vitro procedure. Plant material was subjected to the extraction preparation by soxhlet apparatus by using various solvents such as aqueous, ethanol, chloroform, petroleum ether and hexane. The various kinds of phytochemicals were detected and then in vitro antidiabetic activity of P. guajava were detected by using alpha amylase and alpha glucosidase enzyme in an in vitro model.The study reveals the presence of phytochemicals such as carbohydrate, tannin, flavonoids, phenols etc., Among the various extracts the aqueous and ethanolic extracts which contains the large number of phytoconstituents. The P. guajavaleaves

Similar diet is given to all the group describe bellow including this group of mice as per guideline of CPCSEA. This group has not given any of drug or exposure after inducing diabetes. All the mice are positively increase the blood sugar level. During the experiment one mouse was died on 7th day. One other group having three mice was administrated with known drug (Glimepiride) given the positive response towards the reduction of blood glucose level in all the mice. In this experiment one mice was died followed by 7th day. Average blood glucose of all the mice was taken for plotting the graph. A.N. Nagappa at al,2003, study the effect of the petroleum ether, methanol, and aqueous extracts of Terminalia catappa Linn (combretaceae) fruit, on fasting blood sugar levels and serum biochemical analysis in alloxan-induced diabetic rats were investigated. All the three extracts of Terminalia catappa produced a significant antidiabetic activity at dose levels 1/5 of their lethal doses. Concurrent histological studies of the pancreas of these animals showed comparable regeneration by methanolic and aqueous extracts which were earlier, necrosed by alloxan. Rao and Naidu (2010) suggested that the plant extract (methanolic) of Rhinacanthusnasutus was capable of ameliorating at the dosage of 200 mg/kg, hyperglycaemia in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats and could be a potential source for isolation of new orally active agent(s) for anti-diabetic therapy. Mohammed Fazil Ahmed et al,2010, conclude that alcoholic whole plant extracts of Vincarosea at high dose (500mg/kg) exhibited significant antihyperglycemic activity. These extracts also showed improvement in parameters like body weight and lipid profile as well as regeneration of cells of pancreas and so might be of value in diabetes treatment. Further investigation is in necessary to determine the exact phytoconstituents (s) responsible for antidiabetic

    The primary function of the heart is to transport blood throughout the body, which delivers oxygen, nutrients and chemicals to the cells of the body to ensure their survival and proper function and to remove the cellular wastes. For the body to achieve this, it must maintain a certain blood pressure within the body to overcome gravity and orthostatic changes. If the body did not keep a certain pressure, distal cells and organs would not be able to receive a constant blood supply and cause a homeostatic imbalance. This experiment will show the possible changes in blood pressure due to gravity and orthostatic changes, but first, what is blood pressure and why is it important?…

    The preventive effects of these secondary plant metabolites in terms of cardiovascular, neurodegenerative diseases and cancer are deduced from epidemiologic data as well as in vitro tests such as the Folin–Ciocalteu method and results in respective nutritional recommendations. Furthermore, polyphenols were found to modulate the activity of a wide range of enzyme and cell receptors. In this way, in addition to having antioxidant properties, polyphenols have several other specific biological actions in preventing and or treating diseases. There are a some polyphenols which play a role in the production of germicides and disinfectants and others possesses estrogenic and endocrine disrupting…

    Cleome rutidosperma (Family: Capparidaceae), commonly known as fringed spider flower or purple Cleome, a native of Tropical Africa and found as garden weed in Asia and Australia is one of such medicinal plants. The leaves are prepared as hot water infusion or chewed whole for management of DM. A dearth of information exists on scientific verified of this pharmacological effect. This study was therefore designed to investigate the hypoglycaemic and antihyperglycaemic effects of methanol extract of the leaves of C. rutidosperma in normoglycaemic and alloxan induced hyperglycaemic Wistar rats at dose levels of 100, 200 and 400 mg/kg, p.o.…

    In the present study, the key gluconeogenic enzyme G6P activity was assayed in liver of diabetic rats because the liver is the main organ responsible for maintaining homeostasis of blood glucose. The activity of G6P is enhanced during diabetes [31]. The dearrangement in carbohydrate metabolism results in impaired glucose homeostasis leading to hyperglycaemia. WSREt and WSLEt replenished liver glycogen stores and suppressed the hepatic gluconeogenesis by decreasing activity of G6P. This result is accordance with the report of Bhavapriya et al. [32], in that the increased G6P activity is reversed by Aavirai kudineer (a herbal formulation) in diabetic rats.…

    Drinking coffee before breakfast and during mid-afternoon snacks is one of our traits as a Filipino. It is a habit that our elderly passes every new generation.
