modulatory effect of mangifera indica against carbon tetrachloride induced kidney damage in rats.there is little scientific evidence on the local use of mangifera indica in kidney diseases. this study investigated the reno-modulatory roles of the aqueous stem bark extract of mangifera indica (miase) against ccl4-induced renal damage. rats were treated intragastrically with 125, 250 and 500 mg/kg/day miase for 7 days before and after the administration of ccl4 (3 ml/kg of 30% ccl4, i.p.). serum levels of electrolytes (na+, k+, cl(-), hco3(-)), urea and creatinine were determined. renal tissu ...201527486379
plant-mediated effects on mosquito capacity to transmit human malaria.the ecological context in which mosquitoes and malaria parasites interact has received little attention, compared to the genetic and molecular aspects of malaria transmission. plant nectar and fruits are important for the nutritional ecology of malaria vectors, but how the natural diversity of plant-derived sugar sources affects mosquito competence for malaria parasites is unclear. to test this, we infected anopheles coluzzi, an important african malaria vector, with sympatric field isolates of ...201627490374
pyrogallol, an absorbable microbial gallotannins-metabolite and mango polyphenols (mangifera indica l.) suppress breast cancer ductal carcinoma in situ proliferation in vitro.mango is rich in bioactive absorbable polyphenols, but also contains considerable amounts of unabsorbable gallotannins at varying degrees of polymerization. gallotannins are not absorbable upon consumption and have rarely been considered in the discussion of health benefits of polyphenols. therefore, the objective of this study was to investigate the anti-proliferative activities of the major microbial metabolite of gallotannins, pyrogallol (pg) and a low molecular weight fraction of mango (mang ...201627491891
