The main aim of this work was to analyze through a systematic review the ability of Tribulusterrestris to promote the increase of hormonal levels as a mechanism for the relief of menopausal symptoms. The criteria used for the selection were: studies involving menopausal women and use of Tribulusterrestris as a treatment for sexual dysfunction and / or other menopausal symptoms. The survey of literature shows that women who used Tribulusterrestris had drastic improvement in symptoms such as vaginal lubrication, sensation in the genitals during intercourse and other constructive activities. In this study, we have found a significant increase in bioavailable testosterone after the use of the plant extracts which has great potential in the treatment of sexual intercourse and unique symptoms of menopause.

Insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) is a metabolic condition that induces blood glucose levels to rise due to insulin deficiency and the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). The purpose of this study is to assess how efficient the antioxidant extracts Tribulus terrestris (TT) and metformin (MET) are in reducing oxidative stress and histopathology produced by streptozotocin in rat hepatocytes. The 36 male rats weighing 170–190 g of this study were randomly sorted into 6 groups. The first group was considered a normal control group, and the second and third groups were normal and remedy with MET and TT extract, respectively. The fourth group was positive diabetic, and the fifth and sixth groups were diabetic rats that were treated with MET and TT extract, respectively. Lipid peroxidation (LPO), catalase (CAT), glutathione-S-transferase (GST), and glutathione (GSH) were detected, and the histopathology of the liver was evaluated after 8 weeks of treatment. Compared to regulation, morphological changes in the liver were found in diabetic animals, with a rise in LPO and a change in GSH levels as well as CAT and GST activities. The oxidative stress and histological architecture of the hepatocytes caused by hyperglycemia were improved as a result of therapy in the rats with MET and TT extract. Because of its antioxidant activities, diabetic rats with TT extract are more effective than MET in normoglycemia and hepatocyte reconditioning. Beneficial intervention tends to benefit primarily from direct ROS scavenging and CAT, GST, and GSH regeneration.

Galium odoratum (L.) is a medicinal plant with a number of health benefits, used in traditional and modern medicine. The toxicity of the coumarin in Galium odoratum is classified as high, however, no experimental data or data on toxic effects in humans following intake of Galium odoratum are available. The potential toxic effect can be estimated based on the content of coumarin and knowledge of its toxicity. The aim of the current study is to evaluate the acute toxicity effects of a range of concentrations of Galium odoratum water extract on Moina macrocopa and calculate the LC50 within 24 hours. In order to compare the toxicity with those of other, well-known and widely used medicinal plants, extracts of Matricaria chamomilla and Tribulus terrestris are also tested.  The results show that LC50 value of Galium odoratum is comparable with those of Matricaria chamomilla and Tribulus terrestris, and Galium odoratum has intermediate toxicity between the two other studied species.

Background: Toxemia of pregnancy also known as preeclampsia is a common clinical condition affecting 8-10% pregnancies worldwide. It has adverse outcome both for mother and fetus. The management options are mainly targeted to prevent adverse outcomes associated to                premature births, such as administration of antenatal corticosteroids and magnesium sulphate infusions. Aim & Objectives: The main aim of the study was to evaluate efficacy of Ayurvedic interventions in management of toxemia and in prevention of premature delivery as well as fetal hazards due to pre-eclampsia. Methods: It was an open ended, parallel group, randomized placebo controlled clinical trial with equal allocation in both the groups. Sample size was 15 in each group. Trial group was administered Gokshura Siddha Yavagu(Green gram gruel medicated with Tribulus terrestris Linn) and Dhatryavaleha (linctus prepared with Ayurveda medicines like Phyllanthus emblica L.)while control group was treated with similar looking placebo-linctus. Results: Both ayurvedic parameters-Shotha(edema), Avil mutrata (Discolored urine) & clinical features of toxemia have shown excellent relief while control group patients either show poor or no relief when assessed by USG scan and needed further treatment with induction of labor. Conclusion: This study concludes that Ayurvedic interventions in the form of Gokshura siddha Yavagu and Dhatri Avleha can provide significant symptomatic relief (p<0.0001) in toxemia of pregnancy and can also promote normal growth and development in fetus.

Objetivo : realizar  uma revisão da literatura sobre a abordagem das disfunções sexuais com o auxílio da Lepidium meyenii e Tribulus terrestres .Métodos : Trata-se de uma de uma pesquisa bibliográfica, descritiva, com abordagem qualitativa. Resultados: O resultado total da investigação foi de 70  artigos. Foram excluídos 13   artigos repetidos.Restou o total de 57 artigos, dos quais foram excluídos os que não continham o texto disponível e também os que não estavam relacionados às Disfunções Sexuais humanas . Assim, foram obtidos 16 artigos . Foram descartados os artigos que não possuíam texto completo disponível ou que seu conteúdo não relacionava com a temática .Considerações finais: Com base nos estudos discutidos é possível Tribulus terrestris  consiste em  uma planta com grandes potencialidades para o manejo da disfunção sexual e outros sintomas relacionados à menopausa, sendo assim,  pode ser um tratamento  alternativa ou complementar.

Abstract Hematite (α-Fe2O3) nanoparticles (NPs) were chemically and thermodynamically more stable among iron oxide nanoparticles. Doping of Co2+ metal ion in α-Fe2O3 can modify the structural, optical and magnetic properties of NPs and also enhances the potential of the biomedical applications. In the current study, undoped and Co doped hematite nanoparticles were synthesised by co-precipitation method using Tribulus terrestris L. leaf extract as bio-reductant. The magnetic, optical and structural investigations were studied with the help of Ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis), Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR), Scanning Electron Microscopy equipped with Energy Dispersive X-ray (SEM-EDX) Spectroscopy, Vibrating Sample Magnetometer (VSM) and X-ray Diffraction (XRD) Spectroscopy. XRD analysis shows that synthesized nanoparticles were in hematite phase, rhombohedral in structure. XRD spectral pattern clearly evidenced that prepared α-Fe2O3 and Co-Fe2O3 NPs were highly crystalline with no impurity peaks. Using VSM spectra, the M-H curve indicates that saturation magnetisation (Ms) value increases for Co-Fe2O3 NPs than undoped α-Fe2O3 NPs, it can be clearly seen that doping largely affects the magnetic nature of nanoparticles. In the UV-Vis spectra, absorption maxima increases and band gap value decreases for cobalt doped hematite nanoparticles indicating the substitution of Fe2+ ions by Co2+ ions in α-Fe2O3 lattice sites. Antidiabetic and antimicrobial activity of the synthesized undoped and Co doped hematite NPs were tested by alpha-amylase inhibitory and disc diffusion method. The Co-Fe2O3 NPs have greatly inhibited the digestive enzyme and microbial strains as compared to undoped α-Fe2O3 NPs.
