Abstract: A novel resuscitation fluid derived from Aloe vera that was developed by researchers at the University of Pittsburgh's McGowan Institute for Generative Medicine has the potential to save the lives of patients with massive blood loss, according to results of an animal study published in the August edition of the medical journal Schock. The findings could have a significant impact on the treatment of hemorrhagic shock caused by both civilian and military trauma.

Abstract: Free amino acids, free monosaccharides and total saccharides released upon hydrolysis, sterols, and triterpenoids of the leaves of Aloe barbadensis Miller leaves were determined. Some seventeen amino acids, D-glucose, and D-mannose were present in the water-soluble fraction. Cholesterol, campesterol, β-sirosterol, and lupcol were found in substantial amounts in the lipid fraction. An unknown(s) alkaloid was detected using Dragendorff's reagent.
