چکیده
Article history: Received on: 26/11/2014 Revised on: 25/01/2015 Accepted on: 18/02/2015 Available online: 28/03/2015 The present paper aims to develop a simple direct colorimetric method for the determination of cerberin in rat plasma without any previous chemical separation of the cerberin from Cerbera odollam. The method is based on reaction of the cardenolide group of cerberin with 3,5-dinitro salicylic acid [DNS] in alkaline medium which yields a bright orange-yellow complex that exhibits absorption maxima at 370nm.Beer’s law obeyed in the concentration range of 50-250μg/mL. The result of the method was validated statistically and by recovery studies.

متن کاملDetermination of Glycyrrhetic Acid in Rat Plasma by HPLC After Oral Administration of Licorice Aqueous Extract
Licorice is obtained from Glycyrrhiza glabra (G. glabra) in Iran. Glycyrrhizin is the main constituent of G. glabra and has several pharmacological effects. It is hydrolyzed to glycyrrhetic acid (GA) in the intestine after oral administration. In this study, a novel HPLC method was used to determine the concentration of GA in rat plasma after oral administration ...
متن کاملSpectro-photometric Constraints on Galaxy Evolution with Ngst
The Next Generation Space Telescope (NGST) will gather unprecedented spectro-photometric data on galaxies out to the highest redshifts. It is therefore crucial to identify the spectro-photometric diagnostics within reach of NGST, which will allow us to best constrain the history of star formation and evolution of galaxies. The primary parameters to be determined are the ongoing rate of star for...
متن کاملEvolutionary synthesis models for spirals and irregular galaxies
We show autoconsistent chemical and spectro-photometric evolution models applied to spiral and irregular galaxies. Evolutionary synthesis models usually used to explain the stellar component spectro-photometric data, are combined with chemical evolution models, to determine precisely the evolutionary history of spiral and irregular galaxies. In this piece of work we will show the results obtain...
متن کاملDetermination of the effect of the interaction between Ghrelin and serotonin agonist (R)-8-OH-DPAT on the mean plasma concentrations of T3 & T4 in rat
Introduction: Previous studies have shown that ghrelin inhibits the activity of Hypothalamus –Pituitary – Thyroid (H–P-T) axis. It is also proved that ghrelin increases appetite via Agouti Related Protein and neuropeptide Y pathway, decreases T3 & T4 secretion and inhibits serotonin release from hypothalamic synaptosomes. Serotonin may interact with ghrelin in control of thyroid hormones secr...
