Evaluation of Antilipolytic, Antioxidant and Antibacterial Activities of Selected Ferns

Evaluation of Antilipolytic, Antioxidant and Antibacterial Activities of Selected Ferns

In the present study, three ferns were used (Adiantum capillus-veneris Cheilanthes albomarginata and Asplenium pumilum,) to identify their functional compounds to reduce obesity. The methanolic fern-extract (MFE) of these ferns was assessed for anti-bacterial activity by measuring inhibition zones a...
