Biological and analytical investigations of alpha-glucosidase inhibitory and anti-oxidant activities on selected Malaysian medicinal plants
This study was performed to establish anti-diabetic and anti-oxidant properties, and to carry out phytochemical analysis of selected local plants which are traditionally used as medicinal plants. Local plants involved in this study were Lawsonia inennis, Punica granatum, Dryobalanops aromatica, Zizi...
