Haemostatic Effect of the Stem Juice of Musa paradisiaca L. (Musaceae) in Guinea Pigs
The stem juice of Musa paradisiaca L. is used in traditional medical practice in Ghana to arrest bleeding from wound. However, scientific report on its haemostatic effects in controlled experiments is relatively scanty. This experiment was therefore conducted to scientifically investigate the possible haemostatic effect of Musa paradisiaca stem juice in guinea pigs using bleeding and clotting t...
متن کاملPurification and characterization of Mn-peroxidase from Musa paradisiaca (banana) stem juice.
Mn-peroxidase (MnP), a biotechnologically important enzyme was purified for the first time from a plant source Musa paradisiaca (banana) stem, which is an agro-waste easily available after harvest of banana fruits. MnP was earlier purified only from the fungal sources. The enzyme was purified from stem juice by ultrafiltration and anion-exchange column chromatography on diethylamino ethylcellul...

The effect of Musa paradisiaca stem kernel juice was investigated in experimental urolithiatic rats. Stone forming rats exhibited a significant elevation in the activities of two oxalate synthesizing enzymes - Glycollic acid oxidase and Lactate dehydrogenase. Deposition and excretion of stone forming constituents in kidney and urine were also increased in these rats. The enzyme activities and t...
متن کاملPurification, crystallization and preliminary X-ray structure analysis of the banana lectin from Musa paradisiaca.
The banana lectin from Musa paradisiaca, MW 29.4 kDa, has been isolated, purified and crystallized. The trigonal crystals contain one dimeric molecule in the asymmetric unit. The structure has been solved using molecular replacement to a resolution of 3 A. The structure of the subunit is similar to that of jacalin-like lectins.
