Curated literature

• Metabolic and Antioxidant Modulation by Artemisia indica Willd. Aqueous Extract in Glucose and Cholesterol Dysregulation

  Recent mouse-model paper on A. indica aqueous extract, with reported effects on glucose regulation, lipid accumulation, oxidative stress, and related metabolic pathways.

• The pharmacophylogenetic relationships of two edible medicinal plants in the genus Artemisia

  Comparative A. argyi versus A. indica study linking distribution, metabolomics, and network-pharmacology evidence, with direct discussion of overlap and divergence between the two species.

• GABA-A Receptor Modulation and Anticonvulsant, Anxiolytic, and Antidepressant Activities of Constituents from Artemisia indica Linn

  Compound-focused CNS paper linking isolated A. indica constituents to GABA-A receptor modulation and multiple mouse behavioral models.

• Antiprotozoal Effect of Artemisia indica Extracts and Essential Oil

  Detailed extract-and-essential-oil study linking A. indica chemistry to in vitro antimalarial and broader antiprotozoal activity with low mammalian-cell cytotoxicity outside the infusion fraction.

• Evaluation of antidiabetic and antihyperlipidemic activity of Artemisia indica linn (aeriel parts) in Streptozotocin induced diabetic rats
