This first ethnobotanical study aimed to quantify and document the wild medicinal plant taxa from four family and the related traditional knowledge in Naâma province, Algeria. The survey was carried out between 2018 and 2020.

Assessment of biochemical changes in normal and diabetic rats treated by phenolic enriched extracts of L. barks.

Objectives: L. is largely used by diabetic population, but its bark is scarcely investigated. The major aim of this study was to investigate the effect of the hydro-methanolic extract and fractions of L.

Evaluation of in vitro α-amylase and α-glucosidase inhibitory potential and hemolytic effect of phenolic enriched fractions of the aerial part of Salvia officinalis L.

Background: The inhibition of α-amylase and α-glucosidase activities is one of the major practical strategies for the control of postprandial hyperglycemia. Salvia officinalis L. is known by its various bioactive compounds and its effective therapeutic properties towards illnesses including diabetes.

The nutraceutical potential of Lepidium sativum L. seed flavonoid-rich extract in managing metabolic syndrome components.

The present study aimed to investigate the phytochemical and pharmacological identities of a Lepidium sativum L. (LS) flavonoid-rich extract and its beneficial effects on metabolic, hormonal, and histological status. Chemical screening, as well as high-performance liquid chromatography with diode-array detection (HPLC-DAD) identified high concentrations of the main flavonoid compounds in LS crude extract such as flavonols (quercetin, kaempferol), flavones (luteolin, apigenin), and especially flavanones (naringin, naringenin).
