Antisecretory and analgesic activities of Terminalia bellerica
This study describes the antisecretory and analgesic activities of the crude extract of Terminalia bellerica (Tb.Cr). T. bellerica extract inhibited the castor oil-induced intestinal fluid secretion in mice at the dose range of 300 1000 mg/kg. The extract also dose-dependently (50 100 mg/kg) reduced the numbers of acetic acid-mediated writhes in mice. These results indicate that T. bellerica ex...
متن کاملSeed mass, seedling size and neotropical tree seedling establishment
1 We examined amongand within-species effects of seed mass for seedling establishment from seed to 5 years of age in a field experiment at Paracou, French Guiana. 2 Six seeds of each of eight species were weighed and planted into each of 120 plots (1 m 2 ) throughout closed-canopy forest along 12 100-m transects in 1998. 3 We described the microhabitat of each planting site using principal comp...
متن کاملSeed Size of Maize Hybrids: I- Effects on Emergence and Seedling Traits under Different Salinity Levels
There has been some concern about using small seeds that may result from seed position on the ear or poor growing conditions for seeding hybrid maize. This study was designed to investigate the effect of seeding three commercial maize crosses (Single Cross 2010, Three-Way Cross 310 and Three-Way Cross 321) with three seed sizes (large, medium and small) under seven salinity levels of irrigation...
متن کاملEvaluation of Terminalia bellerica for its Antipsychotic Potential
The present study was undertaken to evaluate the antipsychotic potential of Terminalia bellerica in experimental animal models. Male Wistar rats (180220 g) and Albino mice (25-30 g) were used for the study. The antipsychotic effect of the Terminalia bellerica was evaluated on haloperidol induced catalepsy, cooks pole climbing apparatus, locomotor activity on photoactometer and ketamine induced ...
متن کاملSeed Mucilage Improves Seedling Emergence of a Sand Desert Shrub
The success of seedling establishment of desert plants is determined by seedling emergence response to an unpredictable precipitation regime. Sand burial is a crucial and frequent environmental stress that impacts seedling establishment on sand dunes. However, little is known about the ecological role of seed mucilage in seedling emergence in arid sandy environments. We hypothesized that seed m...
