Endophytic fungi are now recognized as an excellent source of widely occurring natural products. Fungi wonderful producers products, mostly secondary metabolites. The vital use these may provide benefit to current demand for novel biomolecules in agriculture, medical and pharmaceutical industries. In this study, endophytic Aspergillus terreus, Cephalosporium sp., Chaetomium Curvularia lunata, hawaiiensis, Macrophomina phaseolina, Fusarium solani, Talaromyces assiutensis trachyspermus...
Abstract Background Drug-induced hepatotoxicity is one of the most important causes liver dysfunction. Acetaminophen (paracetamol) an analgesic-antipyretic drug generally considered safe but its overdose may cause toxicity. Marine macro-algae (seaweeds) especially brown seaweeds possess unique biological activities including hepatoprotective potential. The current study focused on effect different solvent fractions Sargassum ilicifolium and characterization n -hexane soluble fraction....
Aims The efficacy of three isolates endophytic Penicillium species that have shown significant suppressive effect on root rotting fungi in our previous study were further evaluated pots and field plot experiments for their diseases okra, induction systemic resistance physiochemical properties okra fruit. Methods Results Aqueous suspensions Pseudomonas monteilii applied plots using as test plant. Data the fungal infection roots, plant growth, markers like polyphenol, salicylic acid...
The Micro Financial Institutions (MFIs) have been touted as development strategies for Emerging Markets and Developing Economies (EMDEs) which merits research into the effect of financial on efficiency sustainability MFIs. Efficient sustainable MFIs significantly paved way economic a country particularly in developing countries. Surprisingly there are very rare studies that examine nexus development, efficiency, sustainability. Also, these confined to impact either or Addressing this gap,...
Acetaminophen (AAP) is an analgesic–antipyretic drug which considered safe at recommended dose, but its overuse may induce renal and hepatic injuries. Marine macro algae have great potential against drug-induced dysfunctions. The present study described the reno-protective hepato-protective effects of ethanol extract edible green alga Ulva fasciata fractions (n-hexane, chloroform methanol) AAP toxicity. In 1st set experiment, rats were divided into five groups. Of two treatment groups beside...
From last few decades, microbes gained special attention residing inside plant tissues, now called endophyte. Studies proved that these are able to produce biologically active metabolites and effective candidates against various pathogens. Endophytic fungi a source of natural therapeutic products. Therefore, endophytic Fusarium species isolated from different plants. These showed potential common laboratory bacteria (Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Salmonella...
Abstract Several reports revealed that endophytic fungi have great influence on host plants, as they promote plant growth and minimize disease severity caused by various pathogens. In this study, isolated from healthy plants were identified Aspergillus terreus , Curvularia lanata, C. hawaiiensis, Macrophomina phaseolina, Fusarium solani, Talaromyces assiutensis T. trachyspermus evaluated for antimicrobial activity, using dual-culture plate assay agar disc diffusion method. They shown...
Pakistan is facing weather extremities since the beginning of this year. Recent flood has sparked a major health crisis within victims. The prevalence post-traumatic stress disorder and depression survivors (adults children) relatively high step should be taken in time to cure there deteriorating mental health.
Abstract Background Diabetes mellitus (DM), an endocrine disease is characterized by increased level of blood glucose. may affect other functions the body and organs including, renal function lipid metabolism. Pandanus tectorius ( P. tectorius) Parkinson ex Du Roi a small tree used in folk medicine treatment many diseases. Methods rats was induced intraperitoneal injection alloxan at dose 100 mg/kg weight for 3 days. Water ethanol extracts root, stem leave were given to 200 day 3. Rats...
Kidney is an important organ which necessary for the body to perform various functions include blood purification, expelling metabolic wastes and managing water electrolytes balance in body. In this era of modern science, many synthetic drugs are used on patients examine their therapeutic properties. Unfortunately, some cause negative effects resulting renal damage. Drug induced nephrotoxicity results serious clinical syndromes, such as chronic kidney disease (CKD) acute injury (AKI)....
This letter is an insight into health hazards caused by the recent flooding and preventive measures in Pakistan.
