Medicinal plants in Sabah (North Borneo) exhibit antipancreatic lipase, anti-amylase, and antioxidant properties

Medicinal plants have been widely used for their notable health benefits and help in disease prevention for generations. In recent years, obesity has become among the risk factors of hyperglycemia and oxidation stress. This study aims to investigate the potential of plants in Sabah, North Borneo to...
