TL;DR: Four genera and 5 species belonging to family Zygophyllaceae collected from various localities of Rajasthan have been cytologically worked out for the first time from India and the presence of B-chromosomes makes the first report of the species from world level.
Abstract: Present paper deals with the cytomorphological study of 4 genera and 5 species belonging to family Zygophyllaceae collected from various localities of Rajasthan. Three cytomorphovariants of Tribulus terrestris have been observed with 2n=24, 36 and 48. Peganum harmala with 2n=12 (based on x=6) is reported for the first time from world level, earlier the species is based on x=12. The presence of B-chromosomes also makes the first report of the species from world level. Fagonia cretica (2n=22), Tribulus alatus (2n=24) and Zygophyllum simplex (2n=16) have been cytologically worked out for the first time from India.

TL;DR: The study revealed a dose dependant effect on blood glucose level by Fagonia cretica linn starting from the dose (300 mg/kg body wt), and the ethanolic extract of Fagonian extract in doses of (100, 300 & 600mg/kg/body weight) has an increasing effect on the fasting blood glucose.
Abstract: Dids Link : http://dids.info/didslink/09.2014-55154995/ The use of the plants as medicines is an ancient and reliable practice. Fagonia Cretica linn is well known herbal plant used in traditional medicine of Pakistan, India and Far East, it is reputed to obtain a profitable therapeutically, properties and it has been used in treatment of fever, thirst, vomiting, dysentery, asthma, urinary discharges, and liver troubles. Externally applied as a paste on tumors and other swellings of the neck. Reported to possess potent antibacterial properties against pathogenic organisms, also the scientific studies of the plant proved the presence of hematological, neurological, anticancer, and hepato- activity. The present study targeted study of the effect of the plant on blood glucose level, the study revealed a dose dependant effect on blood glucose level by Fagonia cretica linn starting from the dose (300 mg/kg body wt), The ethanolic extract of Fagonia cretica linn in doses of (100, 300 & 600 mg/kg/body weight) has an increasing effect on the fasting blood glucose.Keywords: Fagonia cretica linn, extraction, hyperglycemia.

TL;DR: In this article, aqueous extract of Fagonia cretica L. (Zygophyllaceae) whole plant was evaluated in male Wistar albino rats.
Abstract: Antihyperlipidemic activity of aqueous extract of Fagonia cretica L. (Zygophyllaceae) whole plant was evaluated in male Wistar albino rats. After induced hyperlipidaemia by high fat diet, the aqueous extract of Fagonia cretica L. 250 & 500mg/kg (AEFC) and standard drug atorvastatin were administered orally to different group of rats for two times at an interval of 12 hours and continued for 15 days. After termination of the study, all group animals were sacrificed and lipid profile such as Total Cholesterol (TC), Triglycerides (TG), Low Density Lipoproteins (LDL) and High Density Lipoproteins was estimated. High fat diet showed significant increase in LDL, TG, TC and a significant decrease in HDL in serum. The aqueous extract of Fagonia cretica L. and atorvastatin treated groups showed significantly increased HDL levels and decreased TC, TG and HDL-LDL ratio. The Aqueous extract of Fagonia cretica L. has showed significant antihyperlipidemic activity.
