Modulation of Fourier Transform Infrared Spectra and Copper Levels by Purslane (Portulaca Oleracea) Against Liver Necrosis Induced by Copper Sulphate

Copper (Cu) is an essential trace element involved in normal reproduction but its over-exposure may produce some detrimental effects. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of purslane on copper sulfate poisoning on liver structures changes. Twenty eight wistar rats were randomly allocated to four treatment groups. Group I) Control, Group II) Copper sulfate (200 mg/kg bw were appl...

Biosorption of Lead and Copper by Heavy Metal Resistance Bacterium using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrophotometer (FT IR)

Abstract Background and Objectives: Contamination of environment to lead and copper is rising due to human activities. One of the best methods to remove heavy metals from the environment is bacterial remediation. This study aimed to isolate bacteria and investigate the mechanism of lead and copper bioremediation. Material and Methods: Heavy metal resistant bacteria were isolated from contaminat...

Vegetative Reproduction Potential of Common Purslane (Portulaca oleracea)

Modulation of lung inflammation and immune markers in asthmatic rats treated by Portulaca oleracea

Objective: Previous studies indicated anti-inflammatory effects for Portulaca oleracea in various inflammatory disorders. In this study, the effects of P. oleracea on bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) levels of total protein (TP), Phospholipase A2(PLA2) and IgE in sensitized rats were examined. Materials and Methods: Male rats were randomly divided into six groups namely, control (group C), s...

Studies on the Formation of Mullite from Diphasic Al2O3-SiO2 Gel by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy

Al2O3-SiO2 diphasic gel was synthesized by sol gel route from aluminium nitrate and silicic acid following aqueous phase colloidal interaction. The precursor gel powder was thoroughly characterized by chemical analysis, measurement of surface area and bulk density measurement. The gel powder was further characterized by thermogravimetry, XRD diffraction stud...

Cytochrome oxidase (a3) heme and copper observed by low-temperature Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy of the CO complex.

Carbon monoxide bound to iron or copper in substrate-reduced mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase (ferrocytochrome c:oxygen oxidoreductase, EC 1.9.3.1) from beef heart has been used to explore the structural interaction of the a3 heme-copper pocket at 15 K and 80 K in the dark and in the presence of visible light. The vibrational absorptions of CO measured by a Fourier transform infrared interfer...
