MORPHOLOGICAL, PHYSIOLOGICAL AND BIOCHEMICAL STUDY OF In vivo AND In vitro RAISED Centella asiatica (L.) Urban
نویسنده
چکیده
Centella asiatica (L.) Urban is commonly used for curative rationale and food relevance. In the present study, certain morphological, physiological and biochemical parameters of in vivo and in vitro raised plants were compared. In vitro grown plant exhibited high level of chlorophyll (1.360 g/ fresh wt.), increased leaf area (2.5-3.5× 3.9-6.6 cm), low amount of phytic acid (2 mg/100mg), low ascorbic acid (10.95 mg/100g) and low SOD activity (428.52 unit/g) whereas in vivo grown plant exhibited reduced amount of chlorophyll (0.930 mg/g fresh wt.),decreased leaf area (1.8-2.7× 3.6-4.3 cm), increased level of phytic acid (3 mg/100g ), ascorbic acid (12.44 mg/100g) and high SOD activity (491.22 unit/g). Study of these parameters restrengthens the potential of plant as nutraceutical for its food value as well as medicinal applications.

L-Cystathionine has been shown to be available to the rat in lieu of Lcystine, while L-allocystathionine was similarly available in lieu of methionine in the presence of dietary choline (1). Studies in vitro revealed the formation of cysteine and homocysteine from L-cystathionine and L-allocystathionine respectively in the presence of rat liver slices (2). Other experimental findings place cyst...
متن کاملScaling of in vivo muscle velocity during feeding in the largemouth bass, Micropterus salmoides (Centrarchidae).
Many vertebrates undergo large increases in body size over the course of a lifetime, and these increases are often accompanied by changes in morphological and physiological parameters. For instance, in most animals, increases in size with growth are accompanied by decreases in the maximum speed of shortening (V(max)) in locomotor muscles. Curiously, in muscles involved in suction feeding, V(max...

Protein glycation is involved in structure and stability changes that impair protein functionality, which is associated with several human diseases, such as diabetes and amyloidotic neuropathies (Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease and Andrade's syndrome). To understand the relationship of protein glycation with protein dysfunction, unfolding and beta-fibre formation, numerous studies have...
متن کاملTubular Bridges for Bronchial Epithelial Cell Migration and Communication
BACKGROUND Biological processes from embryogenesis to tumorigenesis rely on the coordinated coalescence of cells and synchronized cell-to-cell communication. Intercellular signaling enables cell masses to communicate through endocrine pathways at a distance or by direct contact over shorter dimensions. Cellular bridges, the longest direct connections between cells, facilitate transfer of cellul...
