Hepatoprotective and antioxidant activity of Amaranthus spinosus against CCl4 induced toxicity

Cytotoxic and apoptotic activities of extract of Amaranthus spinosus L. in Allium cepa and human erythrocytes

“…The plant extract possesses severe effects in hematology (Olufemi et al 2003). It shows immunomodulatory (Tatiya et al 2007), anthelmintic (Assiak et al 2002), analgesic (Krishnamurthi et al 2010), antidiabetic, antihyperlipidemic, spermatogenic (Girija and Lakshman 2011;Sangameswaran and Jayakar 2008), hepatoprotective (Zeashan et al 2008(Zeashan et al , 2009, anticancer (Cristine et al 2013), antioxidant (Odhavo et al 2007;Zeashan et al 2009) and chemoprotective activities . A. spinosus contains several active constituents like alkaloids, flavonoids, glycosides, phenolic acids, steroids, terpenoids, saponins, betalains, b-sitosterol, stigmasterol, rutin, catechuic tannins, etc.…”

The Synthesis of Gold Nanoparticles Using <i>Amaranthus spinosus</i> Leaf Extract and Study of Their Optical Properties

“…The species is well known for its many remedial properties [17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27]. Reports on the strong antioxidant nature of the ethanolic leaf extract highly encouraged us to carry out the present research work and evaluate the plant for metallic nanoparticle synthesis [28].…”

Amaranthus spinosusLinn. inhibits mast cell-mediated anaphylactic reactions

“…It has been reported that this plant (and its natural by-products) possess immunomodulatory (Tatiya et al, 2007), anti-apoptotic (Lin et al, 2008), anti-diabetic, anti-hyperlipidemic, spermatogenic (Sangameswaran and Jayakar, 2008) (Zeashan et al, 2009b), anthelmintic, and antiinflammatory activities (Baral et al, 2011). So far, no systematic study has closely examined the anti-anaphylactic activity of A. spinosus.…”
