Phytochemical Investigation and Antidiabetic Activity Studies of Moringa oliefera Roots
Subscribe/Renew Journal
Moringa oliefera Lam. is one of the best known and most widely distributed and naturalized species of a monogenetic family Moringaceae. The ischolar_mains of plant were extracted with ethanol by soxhlet technique and aqueous extract of ischolar_mains are prepared by maceration technique. Both the extracts are subjected to phytochemical screening. Require quantity of alcoholic and aqueous extracts were obtained from the plant which is used as test drug in Streptozotocin induced diabetic model. The present investigation is undertaken to study the effect of the potential hypoglycemic effect of Moringa oliefera Lam. in Streptozotocin (STZ) induced Diabetes Mellitus.
