Abstract:Oxidative stress plays an important role in both induction of diabetes and development of diabetes complications. This study evaluated the effect of leaf extract and fractions of M. cecropioides on both chemical and disease induced oxidative stress. The leaves were extracted with methanol and partitioned into various fractions. Phytochemical analysis and total phenolic content (TPC) were done for the extract and fractions. The DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) and Ferric reducing antioxidant power assay wer… Show more
