Ethanol extract (TCE) subsequent petroleum ether (TCP), dichloromethane (TCD), n-Butanol (TCB) aqueous (TCA) fractions prepared from stems T cordifolia. Total phenolic,...
AIM:To evaluate the hepatoprotective activity of a hydroalcoholic extract bark Anogeissus latifolia ; in vitro primary rat hepatocyte monolayer culture and vivo liver Wistar rats intoxicated by carbon tetrachloride (CCl4). METHODS:In study, was treated with CCl4 .Hepatoprotective demonstrated damaged culture.In analyzed injured CCl4-treated rats.Biochemical parameters including serum transaminases [aspartate aminotransferase (AST) alanine (ALT)] alkaline phosphatase (ALP) were analyzed.The...
Objectives: The present study was aimed to investigate the α-amylase inhibition and antioxidant activities of methanolic extract Amaranthus caudatus Linn (MeAc).Methods: Methanolic screened for activity by CNPG3 method (2-chloro-p-nitrophenyl-α-D-maltotrioside) evaluated 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl-hydrazile (DPPH) free radical scavenging, superoxide dismutase (SOD) hydroxyl nitric oxide (NO) 2.2' -azinobis-3-ethylbenzothiazole-6-sulfonic acid (ABTS) scavenging assays.MeAc also non enzymatic...
Portulaca oleracea Linn, belongs to family Portulaceae and is a widely distributed weed. It has been used as folk medicine in many countries diuretics, febrifuge, antiseptic, antispasmodic vermifuge. This paper deals with the microscopic study of leaf; stem root oleracea, along physico-chemical preliminary phytochemical analyses that were also studied.
In vitro antifungal potential of Trichoderma isolates, selective botanical extracts and fungicides against A. solani was evaluated. i.e. T. harzianum, viride hamatum, were tested for their effect by dual culture technique at 48, 96, 144 172 hrs. hamatum produced the highest inhibition in vitro, followed hazianum after Methanolic leaf Elettaria cardamomum, Syzygium aromaticum, Curcuma longa root extract Parthenium hysterophorus showed up to 100% solani, compared control, while methanolic stem...
Context: Gum guggul, a resinous exudate of the plant Commiphora mukul Engl. (Burseraceae), has been found efficacious in treatment bone fractures, arthritis, and hyperlipidemic disorders.Objective: The present study is an effort to explore anti-bone-resorptive potential dried methanol extract gummy C. (MECM) ovariectomized rat model.Materials methods: animals were randomly divided into five groups equal size (n = 6). Animals all except group 1, which was sham operated. Groups 3, 4 5 treated...
The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect methanol extract fruits Morinda citrifolia Linn., on osteoporosis induced by ovariectomy in female albino rats at two different dose levels 500 and 750 mg/kg/day. Healthy age group 90 days were selected randomized into five groups six animals each. Group 1 sham operated served as control while all remaining ovariectomized. 2 fed with an equivolume saline ovariectomized control. 3 orally treated standard Raloxifene (5.4 mg kg-1) whereas...
