Peach (Prunus persica L.), being a potential source of bioactive compounds, has been demonstrated to have medicinal benefits. In this study variation minerals and antioxidant characteristics (total phenolic contents, total flavonoid reducing power, inhibition peroxidation using linoleic acid system DPPH free radical scavenging activity) between peel pulp parts different peach varieties, namely Golden, Shireen, Shahpasand were investigated. The extracts, derived from the varieties analyzed,...
Background: Phytomedicine is becoming more acceptable as an alternative medicinal approach in the modern era. Objectives: The current study examined antioxidant capacity and vitro response of phytochemical constituents Withania somnifera (Ashwagandha) on standard parameters healthy volunteer semen. Methods: phytochemicals their pharmacological a hydroethanolic (30:70 v/v) extract W. roots were determined using protocols. Results: included flavonoids, phenolic acids, alkaloids, terpenoids...
The present research work was aimed to study the mutual interaction of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and basal cells antioxidant capacity in male reproductive system further establish association between selected heavy metals stress markers. Total oxidant status (TOS) total (TAS) serum seminal plasma were determined by automated photometric methods. concentrations Selenium (Se), Lead (Pb), Cadmium (Cd) using atomic absorption spectrophotometer. TOS increased significantly (P <0.05) as well...
Objective: Agro-industrial residues are primarily composed of complex polysaccharides that strengthen microbial growth for the production industrially important enzymes. For industrial use, pectinases can be produced from several agricultural pectin-containing wastes like orange peel. The selection cheap source benefits enzymes in term to costs-effective production. Methods: indigenously pectinase was purified homogeneity level using a combination ammonium sulphate precipitation and Sephadex...
Current study was planned to explore the therapeutic response of different doses hydroethanolic extract Epimedium grandiflorum leaves in male albino rats. Phytochemical analysis, HPLC and FTIR spectroscopy results revealed presence wide range phenolic compounds functional groups, respectively. Further, not induced significant hemolysis (7.56 ± 1.297%) against PBS (3.65 0.35%) as negative control; while have clot lysis (44 5.2%) potential, exhibited DPPH (78.87 5.427%) scavenging, H 2 O...
The plant biomass and agro-industrial wastes show great potential for their use as attractive low cost substrates in biotechnological processes. Wheat straw corn cob hemicellulosic were acid hydrolyzed enzymatically saccharified high xylose production. hydrolysate was concentrated fermented by using Saccharomyces cerevisiae Kluyveromyces production of xylitol.Acid hydrolysis wheat combination with enzymatic showed free sugars from these substrates. produced maximum xylitol treated residues...
New, cost-effective source materials are being sought to enable the development of essential oils for potential use in pharmaceutical and commercial applications. The present study was aimed at investigating such features Cupressus sempervirens, which despite its exotic legendary attributes has been almost ignored up until now. Gas liquid chromatography (GLC) used determine various physico-chemical composition parameters (specific gravity, refractive index, acid ester values profile)...
There is growing interest in the development of novel nanomaterials with potential antimicrobial activity and lesser toxicity. In current research work, Mn 0.5 Zn Fe 2 O 4 nanoparticles were synthesized via a coprecipitation cum laser ablation technique yielding fine spinal structured material. The nanomaterial was structurally characterized by X‐ray diffraction which confirmed formation crystalline nature 0.50 nanomaterial. crystallite size determined Debye‐Scherrer’s formula found to be...
The study was carried out to determine, by PCR-RFLP, the magnitude of drug resistance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis. on 221 random sputum samples collected from patients and 120 suspected cases resistance. Genetic variation drug-resistant strains evaluated through PCR-RFLP for isoniazid, ethambutol, streptomycin, ofloxacin. Out 341 patients, 91.5% were confirmed as M. tuberculosis complex infected basis PCR. revealed 8.2% cases, while 73.3% those with found resistant. Among isolates, 56.1%...
In the present study, solid state fermentation was carried out using orange peel waste to produce β-glucosidase from Trichoderma viride. A locally isolated fungal strain T. viride cultured in medium of (50% w/w moisture) under optimized conditions and maximum activity 515 ± 12.4 U/mL recorded after 4th day incubation at pH 5.5 30℃. Indigenously produced subjected ammonium sulfate precipitation Sephadex-G-100 gel filtration chromatography. comparison crude extract 5.1-fold purified with...
Tuberculosis (TB) caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) is a chronic bacterial infection affecting many organs of the body particularly lungs. Another organ seriously affected TB hematopoietic system. patients co-infected with other disorders are more prone to death than alone. This study was aimed investigate variations in hematological profile pulmonary (PTB) infectious and metabolic disorders. The population (n = 366) include PTB (positive control) hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection,...
