Antioxidant activity of flavonoids from Solanum melongena

Round Black, Long White Eggplant Diets for Clinical Nutrition of Fructose Induced Hypertensiona, Hyperglycemia and Hyperlipidemia

“…The (RBE) peel and pulp presented no significant (p>0.05) differences among them compared with normal control group. On the other hand, the peel and pulp of (LWE) had the same effect in reduction of T.G level, but both of them showed significant (p<0.05) differences in decreasing of T.G level against healthy group.This result is in agreement with Sudheesh et al, (1999) findings.…”

Hypolipidemic Effect of Telfairia occidentalis (Fluted Pumpkin) in Rats Fed a Cholesterol-Rich Diet

“…Lowering the levels of plasma and PMF cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol have been linked to a lower risk of cardiovascular disease. 32 Therefore, the results of the present study indicate that supplemented diets containing T. occidentalis may reduce the incidence of hypercholesterolemia and agree with the findings of Nityanand and Kapoor 33 and Sudheesh et al, 34 who reported the hypocholesterolemic effects of Commiphora mukul and Solanum melongena, respectively, in cholesterol-fed rats. The mechanism of this hypocholesterolemic action may be due to inhibition of the absorption of dietary cholesterol in the intestine or its production by the liver 35 or stimulation of the biliary secretion of cholesterol and cholesterol excretion in the feces.…”

Pharmacological activities of Solanum melongena Linn. (Brinjal plant)

“…It also reduced TNF-α secretion from mast cells. [18] Hypolipidemic Action Sudheesh et al, 1997 tested the hypolipidaemic effect of flavonoids extracted from the fruits of Solanum melongena, administered orally at a dose of 1 mg/100 g body weight/day in normal and cholesterol-fed rats. It was found that flavonoids showed significant hypolipidaemic action.…”

“…It was found that flavonoids showed significant hypolipidaemic action. [19] Guimaraes et al, 2000 carried out a clinical trial to observe the effects of Solanum melongena on the serum cholesterol and triglycerides of 38 hypercholesterolemic human volunteers, ingesting Solanum melongena for 5 weeks. It was observed that Solanum melongena significantly reduced the blood levels of total and LDL cholesterol and apolipoprotein B.…”
