Hot water infusions of flowers, leaves, roots, seeds and stalks or bark of Moringa oleifera were screened to detect three pharmacologic activities in experimental models in rats. Antispasmodic activity, anti-inflammatory activity, and diuretic activity were confirmed. 

• A review on phytochemistry and pharmacology of Moringa oleifera leaves (Moringaceae) Basile BS Konmy, Pascal Abiodoun Olounladé, Sanni-yo Doko Allou, Erick Virgile Bertrand Azando and Mawulé Sylvie Hounzangbé-Adoté (2016).

This review concludes that studies conducted on moringa's phytochemicals and cell walls, as well tests on animals, are concordant in their support for the anti-inflammatory, antioxidant as well as hypolipidaemic, anti-diabetic and anthelminthic properties of moringa oleifera. 

Hypocholesterolemic Effects Moringa Oleifera

• Hypocholesterolemic effects of crude extract of leaf of Moringa oleifera Lam.J Ethnopharmacol. Jan;69(1):21-5. Department of Pharmacology and Therapeutics, College of Medicine, University of Nigeria, Enugu Ghasi S, Nwobodo E, Ofili JO (2000).

This study assess the impact of moringa oleifera in reducing cholesterol in obese subjects. The study concludes that moringa leaves do have measurable impact lowering cholesterol, and that there is valid pharmacological basis for its continued use in the treatment of those with high cholesterol.

• Nutraceutical values of hot water infusions of moringa leaf (Moringa oleifera) and licorice root (Glycyrrhiza glabra) and their effects on liver biomarkers in Wistar rats. Journal of Food Measurement and Characterization, 1-12. Salawu, S. O., Ibukun, E. O., & Esan, I. A. (2018).

This study shows that the composite blend Moringa & Licorice Root in hot water infusion, at a regulated dose, is interesting as a functional food in the provision of nutritionally important minerals, and the management of stress-related diseases.

• Antioxidant traits and protective impact of Moringa oleifera leaf extract against diclofenac sodium‐induced liver toxicity in rats. Journal of Food Biochemistry, e12704. APAEl‐Hadary, A. E., & Ramadan, M. F. (2018).

Administration of Moringa leaf extract caused improvements in kidney functions and acted as antioxidant enzymes. The study demonstrated the Moringa Oleifera leaf extract's hepatoprotective activity and recommends using M. oleifera leaves for the treatment of liver disorders.

• Hepatoprotective effects of Moringa oleifera Lam (Moringaceae) leaf extracts in streptozotocin-induced diabetes in rats. Journal of Functional Foods, Volume 57, Pages 75-82. Tambwe, Muzumbukilwa, Manimbulu, Nlooto, Oroma, Owira. (2019).

Moringa Oleifera leaf extract restored the damaged hepatocellular architecture in diabetic rats.Moringa Oleifera reduced water intake, weight loss, fasting blood glucose, gamma glutamyl aminotransaminase, & increased fasting plasma insulin in diabetic rats. Moringa Oleifera leaf extracts have dose-dependent antidiabetic properties and protect against hepatic injury due to diabetes.

Conclusion:

Moringa is great for detox,

-> it also useful in the treatment of diabetes as it helps regulate blood sugar:
