Isolation of an active glucoside in bracken fern, Pteridium aquilinum.
An active glucoside that enhanced release of histamine from rat peritoneal mast cells was isolated from a toxic fraction of bracken fern, Pteridium aquilinum, by partition column chromatography on Sephadex G-25. It was a yellowish amorphous powder on freeze-drying, readily soluble in water or ethanol, and insoluble in ether. It was hydrolysed with beta-glucosidase to release D-glucose. It was a...
متن کاملTumor induction in germ-free rats fed bracken (Pteridium aquilinum).
This study indicated that there was no significant difference in the incidence of intestinal tumors between germ-free and conventional rats fed a diet containing bracken, suggesting that gut microflora did not play a definite role in bracken tumorigenesis. However, bracken induced exclusively sarcoma but no adenocarcinoma in germ-free rats, whereas it induced predominantly adenocarcinoma in con...
متن کاملObservations on the Microanatomy of the Spermatozoid of the Bracken Fern (Pteridium aquilinum)
Salient features of structure of the spermatozoid of a fern (Pteridium aquilinum) have been determined by a combination of visual and ultraviolet microscopy, with electron microscopy of shadow-cast whole mounts and thin sections, using magnifications up to but not exceeding 50,000 diameters. Attention has been concentrated on the arrangement rather than on the internal details of the various pa...
متن کاملDrift control and buffer zones for helicopter spraying of bracken (Pteridium aquilinum)
Application of asulam herbicide by helicopter, as a primary treatment of bracken, requires appropriate buffer zones to protect non-target plants, conservation areas and water catchments from spray drift. Drift from large-scale applications of asulam were monitored at two moorland sites where helicopters were fitted with Delavan RD ‘Raindrop’ drift-reducing, hollow-cone nozzles. Drift was measur...
متن کاملGlycophenotypic Alterations Induced by Pteridium aquilinum in Mice Gastric Mucosa: Synergistic Effect with Helicobacter pylori Infection
The bracken fern Pteridium aquilinum is a plant known to be carcinogenic to animals. Epidemiological studies have shown an association between bracken fern exposure and gastric cancer development in humans. The biological effects of exposure to this plant within the gastric carcinogenesis process are not fully understood. In the present work, effects in the gastric mucosa of mice treated with P...
