In vitro inhibitory potentials of ethanolic extract of Moringa oleifera flower against enzymes activities linked to diabetes

Abstract: Introduction: Diabetes mellitus (DM) has been recognized as the seventh leading cause of global mortality; however, researchers seek alternative means to manage the menace. The current study sought to investigate antioxidant potentials, α-amylase, and α-glucosidase inhibitory activities of ethanolic extract of Moringa oleifera flower in vitro. Methods: Antioxidant properties of the extract were appraised by assessing its inhibition against 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), hydroxyl (OH•), and hydrogen pero… Show more

“…Numerous experimental findings have provided evidence for the significance of reactive oxygen species (ROS) participation in the pathophysiology of DM, particularly in the development of complications associated with the condition (3). The production of ROS has been observed in β-cell dysfunction and death in both types of DM.…”

“…Oxidative stress, defined as an imbalance between reactive oxygen species (ROS)/electrophiles (free radicals) and the antioxidant system, is known to disrupt cellular redox signaling and thus aggravate the severity of a variety of pathological conditions (14). However, evidence suggests that elevated systemic oxidative stress is closely linked to the etiology of diabetes (15).…”
