Disease relevance of Moringa

• The effect of oral administration of aqueous and alcoholic extract of Moringa oleifera root-wood on calcium oxalate urolithiasis has been studied in male Wistar albino rats [1].

High impact information on Moringa

• A mutagenic compound was isolated from roasted seeds of Moringa oleifera Lam [2].
• Bio-guided fractionation of seed extracts from Moringa stenopetala resulted in a myrosinase hydrolysis product, 5,5-dimethyloxazolidine-2-thione [3].
• Overall, both methanol (80%) and ethanol (70%) were found to be the best solvents for the extraction of antioxidant compounds from moringa leaves [4].
• Among the three different moringa samples, both methanol and ethanol extracts of Indian origins showed the highest antioxidant activities, 65.1 and 66.8%, respectively, in the beta-carotene-linoleic acid system [4].
• The hexane-extracted oil content of Moringa oleifera seeds ranged from 38.00 to 42.00% [5].

Chemical compound and disease context of Moringa

• Effect of Moringa oleifera Lam. root-wood on ethylene glycol induced urolithiasis in rats [1].

Biological context of Moringa

• Bioavailability trials of beta-carotene from fresh and dehydrated drumstick leaves (Moringa oleifera) in a rat model [6].

Anatomical context of Moringa

• Effects of ethanol extract of Moringa stenopetala leaves on guinea-pig and mouse smooth muscle [7].

Associations of Moringa with chemical compounds

• Water, aqueous methanol, and aqueous ethanol extracts of freeze-dried leaves of Moringa oleifera Lam. from different agroclimatic regions were examined for radical scavenging capacities and antioxidant activities [4].
• A low-cost activated carbon from the pan-tropical multipurpose tree Moringa oleifera removes the cyanobacterial hepatotoxin microcystin-LR in quantitative amounts from water in batch adsorption trials [8].
• (13)C NMR characterization of triacylglycerols of Moringa oleifera seed oil: an "oleic-vaccenic acid" oil [9].
• Fully acetylated carbamate and hypotensive thiocarbamate glycosides from Moringa oleifera [10].
• The oil from Moringa oleifera variety Mbololo seeds from Kenya was extracted using three different procedures including cold press (CP), extraction with n-hexane (H), and extraction with a mixture of chloroform/methanol (50:50) (CM) [11].

Gene context of Moringa

• Chemomodulatory effect of Moringa oleifera, Lam, on hepatic carcinogen metabolising enzymes, antioxidant parameters and skin papillomagenesis in mice [12].
• Radioprotective property of Moringa oleifera leaves was investigated in healthy adult Swiss albino mice [13].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Moringa

• In the present study surjana (Moringa oleifera) seed, maize (Zea mays) and chitosan were used in direct filtration of Bilaoli lake water and evaluated for their efficiency in removing turbidity and microorganisms from water [14].
