UNLABELLED Diabetes, a chronic disease debilitating to normal healthy lifestyle, onsets due to insufficient amount of insulin production or ineffective utilization of the amount produced. Although, pharmaceutical research has brought up remedial drugs and numerous candidates in various phases of clinical trials, off-target effects and unwanted physiological actions are a constant source of conc...

Abstract Nanoparticles have gained considerable attention during the present millennium due to its unique properties and usage of same in all scientific fields. The study was aimed phyto-fabricate zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) from Sida acuta evaluate antioxidant photocatalytic activity against dye victoria blue (VB). phyto-fabricated ZnO NPs when subjected for physico-chemical characteriz...

There has been a growing interest in lignans, a class of phyto-oestrogens, because of their potentially favourable effects on human health. The aim of the present study was to compare the metabolic profile of post-menopausal women consuming various amounts of dietary lignans. Phyto-oestrogen intake was assessed using a 3-d dietary record analysed with a Canadian food phyto-oestrogen content dat...

Epoxide hydrolase hydrates epoxides to vicinal diols in the phyto-oxylipin peroxygenase pathway resulting in the production of epoxy alcohols, dihydrodiols, triols and epoxides, including many lipid epoxides associated with resistance. Two epoxide hydrolase genes from Nicotiana benthamiana L., NbEH1.1 and NbEH1.2, were amplified from codingDNAof leaves during a susceptible response to the hemib...

Apigenin is a natural phyto-oestrogen flavonoid, which exerts various biological effects, including anti‑oxidative, anti‑inflammatory and anticancer activities. In addition, apigenin has recently been reported to target hypoxic markers; however, there are currently no studies regarding the association between apigenin and glucose transporter‑1 (GLUT‑1) in adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC). The pre...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to investigate the different smear layer morphologies produced by instrumentation with a hand curette and a periodontal sonic scaler for potential removal by soft acidic solution. The effect of a new oxalate-containing phytocomplex spray in preventing tubules exposure after citric acid solution application was also evaluated. METHODS Thirty recently extract...

Ethosomes are the ethanolic phospholipid vesicles which are used mainly for transdermal delivery of drugs. Ethosomes are soft, malleable vesicles tailored for enhanced delivery of active agents. Ethosomes have higher penetration rate through the skin as compared to liposomes hence these can be used widely in place of liposomes. The increased permeation of ethosomes is probably due to its ethano...

The aerial parts of Cissus quadrangularis L. var-I collected from different soils were chemically analyzed for setting the standard to be of use in Indian Traditional Systems of medicine. Extractive value, ash value, loss on draying, powder analysis, qualitative and quantitative phyto-chemical estimation were estimated.
