Launaea procumbens (Asteraceae) is used as a folk medicine to treat hepatic disorders in Pakistan. The effect of chloroform extract (LPCE) was evaluated against carbon-tetrachloride (CCl4)-induced liver damage rats. To evaluate the hepatoprotective effects LPCE, 36 male Sprague–Dawley rats were equally divided into six groups. Animals group 1 (control) had free access food and water. Group II received 3 ml/kg CCl4 (30% olive oil v/v) via intraperitoneal route twice week for 4 weeks. III ml...

Abstract The bio‐reductive fabrication of nanomaterials is a developing arena study that seeks to fabricate nanoparticles (NPs) using microorganisms, plants, and animal blood. However, the chemical approach AgNPs fulfills need abundant NPs. In contrast, chemically fabricated are more toxic than biological AgNPs. Therefore, current aimed assess evaluate silver (AgNPs) for their possible toxicity in Common carp fish ( Cyprinus carpio ). synthesized were purchased from market applied toxicity....

Since their early migration from aquatic environments to land, plants have been susceptible numerous variable environmental stresses, which strongly influenced growth and development. Among these, osmotic stress is potentially one of the most catastrophic stresses. Phytohormones immensely contribute adaptation in response these much research has done regarding crosstalk between different plant hormones synergistic or antagonistic interactions. However, possible associations auxin abscisic...
