TRIANTHEMA L.
Fifteen alkanes and 6 isoalkanes were detected in some Aizoaceae including Trianthema triquetra (Singh et al., 1982a).
Temporal variations in osmoregulatory solutes with reference to saline habitat and habits in two species of Trianthema have been studied by Joshi et al. (2007).
Highly significant temporal variations of salinity, Na+ and Cl- content were observed in the habitat.
Although quantity of major amino acids was significantly different in leaves, stems and roots of Trianthema monogyna L. and Trianthema triquetra Rott. ex Willd., their concentrations did not reffect any temporal effects.
Accumulation of sugar in vegetative organs and their fluctuations were not significant for thin leaved species Trianthema monogyna, but their content in Trianthema triquetra was affected by temporal changes.
Amounts of Na+, Cl-, Ca2+ and K+ in plant organs were positive related with changes in salinity and mineral ion composition of the habitat.
The antihepatotoxic effect of Trianthema triquetra root has been reported.
The activity of the antioxidant enzymes such as GPx, CAT, SOD and vitamin E is significantly recovered towards an almost normal level in rats treated with the plant.
The maximum protection against CCl4 induced hepatic injury was afforded by the dose of 200 mg/kg body weight of the plant (Chitra and Nithyanandhi, 2007).
