Effects of aqueous myrmecodia platytyrea extract on activity of brain acetylcholinesterase in swiss mice / Nurul Hafiza Mokhtar
Myrmecodia platytyrea is locally known as "pokok sarang semut". It is believed to have antioxidant properties. This research was conducted in order to check the potential of Myrmecodia platytyrea in reversing galactose-induced neurodegeneration. ln this research, over a treatment period of...
