Most of the hepato toxic chemicals damage liver cells mainly by inducing lipid peroxidation and other oxidative damages. Lack of allopathic medicine for the cure of hepatic injury exhorted the scientist to explore herbal medicine. Thus we have attempted to establi...
متن کاملComplex evolutionary transitions and the significance of c(3)-c(4) intermediate forms of photosynthesis in Molluginaceae.
C(4) photosynthesis is a series of biochemical and structural modifications to C(3) photosynthesis that has evolved numerous times in flowering plants, despite requiring modification of up to hundreds of genes. To study the origin of C(4) photosynthesis, we reconstructed and dated the phylogeny of Molluginaceae, and identified C(4) taxa in the family. Two C(4) species, and three clades with tra...

The genus Paramollugo with the type species Paramollugo nudicaulis (≡Mollugo nudicaulis) has recently been described after molecular investigations. Here we report two new endemic Malagasy species: Paramollugo simulans and Paramollugo elliotii, and transfer a forgotten New Caledonian endemic Mollugo digyna to Paramollugo (Paramollugo digyna). Consequently, the number of Paramollugo species in t...

Anti-inflammatory activ ity of the plant Mollugo pentaphylla (Ethanolic Extract) was studied by using sub acute model like cotton pellet induced granuloma technique. Sterilized raw cotton was implanted in the axilla and growing region of the rat. The ethanolic extract of the plant was adminis tered orally (at dose 200mg/kg and 400 mg/kg body weight) by inhibit ing wet weight and dry weight of t...
