X-ray irradiation studies in Coccinia indica W. et A.

Antihepatotoxic Acticity of Coccinia Indica

Aqueous, light petroleum, chloroform, alcohol, benzene and acetone extracts of the leaves of Coccinia indica. (Family: Cucurbitaceae) were screened for antihepatotoxic activity. The extracts were given after the liver was damaged with Ccl4 Liver function was assessed based on liver to body weight ratio pentobarbitone sleep time, serum levels of transaminase (SGPT, SGOT), alkaline phosphatase (S...

Treatment of diabetes mellitus with Coccinia indica.

In alpha-chain disease a number of apparent cures have been obtained with cytotoxic drugs or tetracycline either alone or in combination with prednisolone.' Early diagnosis, at a stage when secreted free alpha chains may not be easily detectable, is therefore important. We have found that a sensitive immunofluorescence test of biopsy specimens can analyse individual plasma cells simultaneously ...

Karyotype and Sex Expression in Coccinia indica, a Dioecious Cucurbit

Cytological and immunochemical studies were carried out on dioecious Coccinia indica to understand the genetic control of sex expression. The somatic chromosome number of both the sex forms of C. indica was found to be 2n = 24 and the karyotype shows high homogeneity, though a distinct heteromorphic pair of sex chromosomes is found in male sex forms of C. Indica. Soluble protein profile from th...

Studies on combined x-ray irradiation and chemotherapy.

X-Ray, Crystal Structure and Solution Phase Studies of a Polymeric SrII Compound

In the crystal structure of the title polymeric compound, [C42H38N6O33Sr5.2(H2O)]n, five independent metal atoms (Sr1-Sr5) have different coordination environments. The Sr1 and Sr5 atoms are nine coordinated and feature distorted tricapped trigonal-prismatic and capped square-antiprismatic geometries, respectively....
