Antiulcer properties of essential oil and polypeptide K isolated from Momordica charantia L. seeds
Momordica charantia L. or bitter gourd, a Cucurbitaceae family plant is a plant native to the semi-tropical climate of Thailand, Asia, India and Africa and has been traditionally used as a folk remedy and best known for its anti-diabetic, antiinflammatory, anti-microbial, anti-ulcer and antihelminti...
