Balanites aegyptiaca (Balanitaceae) is a widely distributed African plant of medicinal interest. In folk medicine, the plant has been used for treating diabetes, jaundice, parasite removal, and as an antiseptic agent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Recently, a group of scientists from Egypt studied the anti-angiogenic activity of Balanites aegyptiaca seeds extracts or BASE in Ehrlich ascites carcinoma bearing mice. They found that BASE has anti-angiogenic and antioxidant potential. It is observed to be renal-protective, as the administration of BASE improved the renal tissue in mice that were otherwise inflamed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-5222637924397992\"\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n     style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\"\n     data-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-5222637924397992\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"1054784925\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script>\n\n\n\n<p>These findings could pave the way for the development of newer, safer, and more powerful antitumor agents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The research work has been published in the <a href=\"https:\/\/scialert.net\/abstract\/?doi=pjn.2021.46.54\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Pakistan Journal of Nutrition<\/a>. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cancer is a leading cause of mortality worldwide.
