To test the efficacy of Withaniasomnifera(W.somnifera)on serum lipid profile and protein fractions of heat stressed Japanese quails, a study was conducted using root ethanolic extract and crude powder in two different levels for each. Three hundred 6 weeks old Japanese quail hens was assigned to one of the following five treatments: control T0 (without any addition), T1= daily oral administrati...

The crude alcoholic extract of the stem bark of Acacia oxyphylla, an indigenous anthelmintic plant among the Mizo tribes of north-east India, have been demonstrated to exhibit profound anthelmintic effects on the avian gastrointestinal cestode, Raillietina echinobothrida. To further investigate the efficacy of the plant extract with a view to understanding the mode of action, vital trace elemen...

Adenosine (1 microM) was incubated in the presence of dialyzed crude tissue extract from mouse liver and its degradation determined. At high concentration of tissue extract, a fraction of adenosine was not metabolized. This phenomenon, termed sequestration of adenosine, was shown to be affected in the same way by the same factors (pH, salt, reducing agent and adenine) as those affecting the pro...

In the present study, the aphrodisiac properties of the purple corn ( Zea mays) in male rats were analyzed. The aqueous crude extract of purple corn (at 25, 50, and 75 mg/kg) was administered to ( a) copulating male rats and ( b) anesthetized and spinal cord transected male rats. Behavioral parameters of copulatory behavior and parameters of the genital motor pattern of ejaculation previous to ...

Abstract The viscera and other residues from fish processing are commonly discarded by the fishing industry. These by-products can be a source of digestive enzymes with industrial biotechnological potential. In this study, we aimed at extraction, characterization, application acidic proteases stomach Carangoides bartholomaei (Cuvier, 1833). A crude extract stomachs was obtained submitted to par...

The activity of phospholipase C in crude enzymatic preparation of Melia azadiracht seeds (Neem seeds) was studied by the use of lecithin as a substrate in aqueous medium. The enzyme activity was found optimum at pH 2.5 and temperature 35?C. The phospholipase C was found heat labile, being inactivated 88% within 10 minutes at 90°C

artemisinin extracted from artemisia annua l. is the best medicine with the highest efficiency, the most effective and the lowest toxicity in treating ague nowadays. at present, most studies focus on artemisinin and its derivatives, while the study and report about the other active components are rare. this paper purposed to further discover new indication of artemisia annua l. connecting with ...

Background: In the view of depleting resources and ever-increasing price of crude oil, there is an urge for the development of alternative sources to solve the issue of fuel in the coming years. Lignocellulosic biomass is considered to be the most potential alternative resources for fossil fuel. Bioconversion of cellulosic and hemicellulosic components into fermentable sugars is the key step in...

the antioxidant potential of crude methanol extract (ce) as well as chloroform (cf), ethyl acetate (ef) and n-butanol (nf) soluble fractions of enhydra fluctuans lour, which is widely used in indigenous system of medicine for different purposes, were studied. the antioxidant potential of extract/different fractions were evaluated using different in vitro antioxidant models. in addition, total a...
