“…It has been approved that the favonoids and polysaccharides isolated from MO leaves had synergistic action to delay glucose difusion, dialysis, and delaying starch digestion [171]. In the same line, MO polysaccharides improved glucose levels and metabolism in diabetic models [172]. Te supplementation of leaves and seeds potentially activated monoamine oxidase (MAO), adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase), adenosine deaminase (ADA), acetylcholinesterase (AChE), arginase, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), and angiotensin-I converting enzyme (ACE) activities in diabetics [173].…”

Plants could be used for multiple medicinal purposes. Moringa oleifera (MO) is considered the most famous plant used for this purpose. The present review aimed to spot the light on the recent medicinal, biochemical, and nutritional applications of MO. The plant contains a huge number of nutrients such as fatty acids, amino acids, proteins, polysaccharides, minerals, and vitamins. It has been used to control glucose, lipids, proteins, minerals, vitamins, hormones, and antioxidants in many animals and human models. Its medicinal applications are also varied and wide; it could be used to control and manage lots of disorders. Extracts and isolated ingredients from the plant open the way for many researchers all over the world to study its biochemical and medicinal impact on many experimental and clinical models. The present review spots the light on the recent medicinal and biochemical significance of MO opening the discussion and demonstrating the strengths and weaknesses in the MO research area. Regardless of the contrary concept, we considered MO a promising plant that could be studied for its medicinal applications on both biochemical and molecular levels. We recommended further research on the molecular effects of MO in healthy and diseased models.
