   • Selon Okon AJ (2018)

     Extrait The effect of ethanolic extracts of Persea americana seed & Zea mays silk on blood glucose levels, body & organ weights of alloxan- induced hyperglycemic Wistar rats was investigated using standard analytical techniques. At the end of the experiment, the groups administered 400 mg/kg body weight Zea mays silk single extract & 400 mg/kg body weight combined extract of P americana seed Z mays silk showed significant (P< 0.05) decrease in fasting blood glucose when compared with the diabetic control.

   • Selon Makama YN (2017)

     Extrait The current research is aimed at evaluating the Hypoglycemic & Hepatoprotective Effects of Hydroethanol Extract of Zea mays on Alloxan-Induced Diabetic Wistar Rats. After induction of diabetes, animals of group II, III, IV & V received Z mays silk extract (0.6 g/kg, 0.8 g kg-1) & Glibenclamide (1mg/kg) orally for 14 days respectively, while group I served as control and were administered with normal saline.

   • Selon Lao F (2017)

     Extrait They were also found to ameliorate lifestyle diseases, such as obesity, diabetes, hyperglycemia, hypertension & cardiovascular diseases, based on their strong antioxidant power involving biochemical regulation amelioration. Purple corn (Zea mays L.), a grain with one of the deepest shades in the plant kingdom, has caught the attention of the food industry as it could serve as a source for alternatives to synthetic colorants.

   • Selon Okokon JE (2018)

     Extrait Zea mays husk extract & fractions (187–748 mg kg−1) were evaluated for antidiabetic & hypolipidemic potentials in alloxan-induced diabetic rats. Treatment of diabetic rats with the extract/fractions caused reduction in FBG with the dichloromethane fraction having the highest activity.

   • Selon Makama YN (2017)

     Extrait This present work indicates that hydro- ethanol extract of Z mays silk possesses significant hypoglycaemic & hepatoprotective activity in vivo by reducing liver function enzymes, initiate regeneration of beta cell in the xvii. The current research is aimed at evaluating the Hypoglycemic & Hepatoprotective Effects of Hydroethanol Extract of Zea mays on Alloxan-Induced Diabetic Wistar Rats.

   • Selon Habte-Mariam L (1998)

     Extrait In the course of screening marketed European anti-inflammatory herbal drugs for TNF antagonistic activity, a crude ethanolic extract of corn silk (stigma of Zea mays) exhibited significant activity. Treatment of human endothelial cells with cytokines such as tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF) or E.

   • Selon Balasubramanian K (2013)

     Extrait The present study focuses on the ability of the different extracts (aqueous, methanol & chloroform) of the leaves of Zea mays in influencing the process of apoptosis induced by hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in Hep2 (laryngeal carcinoma) cells. This indicated that the aqueous & methanol leaf extracts did not influence the cytotoxic action of H2O2 in the cancer cells.

   • Selon Balasubramanian K (2014)

     Extrait Conclusion: Z mays leaf extract exhibits anticancer property & can also augment the chemotherapeutic activity of Etoposide in the cancer cells. Therefore, in the present study, the extent of cell death induced by Etoposide-induced oxidative stress & the role of Z mays leaf extracts were followed in Hep 2 (laryngeal carcinoma cell line) cells.

   • Selon Chilôn-Cornejo V (2018)

     Extrait Weight gain, hematological values (hematocrit, erythrocytes, haemogram, leukocytes, platelets), serum biochemistry (urea, creatinine, ALT, total proteins, albumin, globulins), hepatic & renal histopathology were performed. Weight gain and other hematological values, as well as renal & hepatic biochemistry in the other groups were not significant.

   • Selon Okokon JE (2017)

     Extrait The root extract of Zea mays was investigated for antimalarial activity against Plasmodium berghei in mice using rodent malaria models; suppressive, prophylactic and curative tests & in vitro antiplasmodial activity against chloroquine-sensitive (Pf 3D7) and resistant (Pf INDO) strains of Plasmodium falciparum using SYBR green assay method. Conclusion: These results suggest that the root extract of Zea mays possesses antimalarial activity against both chloroquine-sensitive and resistant malaria and these data justify its use in ethnomedicine to treat malaria infections.

   • Selon Okokon JE (2017)

     Extrait MATERIALS & METHODS: The ethanol husk extract & fractions (187-748 mg/kg, p.o.) of Zea mays were investigated for antimalarial activity against Plasmodium berghei using rodent (mice) malaria models & in vitro activity against chloroquine sensitive (Pf 3D7) & resistant (Pf INDO) strains of Plasmodium falciparum using the SRBR green assay method. CONCLUSION: These results suggest that the husk extract/fractions of Z mays possess antimalarial & antiplasmodial activities & these justify its use in ethnomedicine to treat malaria infections.

   • Selon Okokon JE (2017)

     Extrait (Poaceae) husk extract is used traditionally in Ibi bio traditional medicine for the treatment of various diseases such as malaria, pains, inflammatory diseases & central nervous system disorders. mays has prominent antidepressant activity which is due to the activities of its phytochemical constituents such as phenolic component.
