Seasonal Variations of Mercury Levels in Selected Medicinal Plants Originating from Poland

In Vitro Antibacterial Activity of Selected Medicinal Plants from Zimbabwe

This study sought to give a scientific basis to plants already used for traditional purposes and also probe new antibacterial constituents from randomly selected plants whose anti-infective properties have not been evaluated. The antibacterial activity of ethanolic extracts from 19 Zimbabwean plants was assessed using the agar diffusion assay, minimum inhibitory concentration and minimum bacter...

Antifungal and cytotoxic activities of selected medicinal plants from Malaysia.

This study was conducted to investigate the antifungal potential and cytotoxicity of selected medicinal plants from Malaysia. The extracts from the stem of Cissus quadrangularis and the leaves of Asplenium nidus, Pereskia bleo, Persicaria odorata and Sauropus androgynus were assayed against six fungi using p-iodonitrotetrazolium-based on colorimetric broth microdilution method. All the plant ex...

Antimicrobial Studies of Some Selected Medicinal Plants

Antimicrobial activities were detected in the 80% ethanolic extract of Achyranthes aspera, Ficus glomerata, Leucas aspera, Thespesia populnea and Zizyphus jujube against Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae and salmonella typhi. The treatments resulted in the formation of various inhibitory zones, in contrast to the control where no inhibitory zone was observed.

Preliminary phytochemical screening of selected Medicinal Plants

Seasonal variations of selected cardiovascular risk factors.

This article reviews research on selected biomarkers of cardiovascular risk - cholesterol and other lipids, C-reactive protein (CRP), fibrinogen, homocysteine - in the attempt to determine the existence of a predictable seasonal chronobiological pattern of variation. Studies dating as far back as the 1930s have reported seasonal variations in cholesterol levels. Statistically significant season...
