Amelioration of metformin-induced hypothyroidism by Withania somnifera and Bauhinia purpurea extracts in Type 2 diabetic mice.

30 Jul 2009 An investigation was carried out to reveal the possible ameliorative role of two plant extracts on an antidiabetic drug-induced hypothyroidism in Type 2 diabetic animals. Dexamethasone (1.0 mg/kg, i.m.) administration caused hyperglycemia with a ... Read more...

[Chalcones from Bauhinia glauca subsp. pernervosa]

29 Jun 2009 OBJECTIVE: To study the chemical constituents of Bauhinia glauca subsp. pernervosa. METHOD: The coulis of B. glauca subsp. pernervosa were extracted with 95% EtOH at room temperature. The compounds were isolated and separated by chromatographic ... Read more...

Flavonoids from Bauhinia glauca subsp. pernervosa.

30 May 2009 Seven flavonoids were isolated from Bauhinia glauca subsp. pernervosa, and their structures were elucidated as 6-methyl homoeriodictyol (1), bauhiniaside A (2), bauhiniasin (3), 2',4'-dihydroxy-4-methoxydihydrochalcone-4'-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside ... Read more...
