Moringa oleifera leaf

Extraction, Optimization, and Characterization of Bioactive Compounds from Cloves (Syzygium aromaticum), Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis), and Moringa (Moringa oleifera) for the Management of Androgenetic Alopecia

Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is a progressive form of hair follicle shrinkage that is caused by dihydrotestosterone (DHT) and oxidative stress, and it remains a global dermatological and socio-emotional distress. Conventional remedies like minoxidil and finasteride are known to cause side effects, this has forced the need for plantbased remedies.

Evaluation of Anti-diabetic Potential of Aqueous Extract of Moringa oleifera Leaf in Alloxan-Induced Diabetic Rats

The anti-diabetic potential of aqueous extract of Moringa oleifera leaf was evaluated in alloxan-induced diabetic rats. The rats were grouped into five (5) groups of 10 animals each namely: the Control group, Tween 80-treated, Glibenclamidetreated and Moringa oleifera-treated orally at 700 and 900 mg/kg body weight respectively. The results revealed that the extract significantly (P<0.05) reduced the fasting blood sugar level as well as the postprandial rise in blood glucose after a heavy glucose meal in normoglycaemic rats.
