Journal Title: Chettinad Health City Medical Journal - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 3
Abstract
Since time immemorial, Moringa oleifera Lam. (MO) is a highly valued plant with potential application in the area of nutrition and medicine. All parts of the plant have been used in preparing Ayurvedic medicines while the leaves and pods have been used in preparing traditional dishes. The leaves of this plant are most commonly used as they are rich in amino acids, vitamins, poly-phenols, flavonoids, alkaloids and phytosterols, which attribute to the nutritive and medicinal properties. The tissue and cyto-protective action of MO against various toxic agents is gaining tremendous importance in the field of toxicology. However, very few reports have highlighted the protective effect of MO and its active components against gonadotoxic agents. The present review mainly focuses on the medicinal properties of MO with special reference to its role in male fertility preservation.
