In 1977, the National Academy of Sciences published a monograph that described the high potential value of the legume Leucaena leucocephala as a forage crop for livestock and human feeding. One of the principle factors limiting the use of this plant is the presence of an unusual amino acid, mimosine. Leucaena seeds have a total carbohydrate content of approximately 35 % to 45 % [24, 64, 72], with reducing sugars constituting 5.2% [24]. Starch is absent from a number of the species [61, 65], including L. leucocephala, although it was reportedly 1.3% in the seeds [24]. The total oligosaccharide content of L. leucocephala is Leucaena leucocephala (Mimosaceae) Lam. (Shu babol) is an unarmed small deciduous tree to 5 m height, generally used for soil conservation, fuel and feed purposes in India.(Gaur, 1999) It was known to be a rich source of tannin, proteinous and non-proteinous amino acid and other phenolics (Azeemoddin et al., The plant Leucaena leucocephala was collected from Perundurai, Erode (Dt.), Tamil Nadu, India. The Leucaena leucocephala was separated, washed with water, dried under the shade and powdered. The plant extraction methods viz., maceration and infusion methods were used for extract preparation [16]. Maceration method was used for preparing the Leucaena leucocephala lead tree Leucaena leucocephala lead tree LEUCLEUC/LELE10 Appearance: Shrub or small tree to 4 m (12 ft) tall. Young twigs hairy. Leaves: Alternate, twice pinnate; leaf 10-30 cm (4-11 in) long; pinnae in four to eight pairs, each with 11-17 pairs of opposite, oblong leaflets, 6-14 mm (0.24-0.5 in) long. anthelminthic properties. Plants such as Leucaena leucocephala and Moringa oleifera, locally known as ipil-ipil and malunggay, respectively, have shown anthelmintic properties in previous studies [7-12]. L. leucocephala plant was reported to have worm repellent properties [13]. Traditionally, raw or roasted seeds of the plants Economic and other uses. Leucaena leucocephala is widely cultivated, mostly in farming situations, for forage (leaves and shoots), firewood, poles, medicine (roots), shade, soil conservation and improvement, tannin, dye. It is also planted as a windbreak, a garden ornamental and as an urban shade tree. . In India, when cows and buffaloes were fed L. leucocephala foliage at 10% of their diets, their milk yield was 20% higher than that of the control group fed no Leucaena [107]. However, the use of Leucaena for cattle feedings is not without its problems, due to the presence of mimosine. Symptoms of mimosine toxicity include decreased weight gain Leucaena leucocephala (Lam.) de Wit, commonly known as leucaena, tantan, guaje (Mexico), huaxin (Central America), zarcilla (Puerto Rico), and by many other names, is one of the most extensively cultivated leguminous trees in the world. Adapted to a wide range of lowland sites in the tropics and subtropics, this semideciduous tree has been In Indonesia, the dried seeds of Leucaena are popped just like popcorn. The seeds of Leucaena are considered as non-conventional sources of protein along with other leguminous seeds. 2. Medicinal Uses . According to a study, LeucaenaLeucocephala is one of the medicinal plants used for treating stomach aches, like contraception and abortifacient. Abstract: Oxidative stress can induce vascular endothelial dysfunction in diabetic and hyperlipidemia patients. Leucaena leucocephala (L
