Floral landscapes comprise diverse phytochemical combinations. Individual phytochemicals in floral nectar and pollen can reduce infection in bees and directly inhibit trypanosome parasites. However, gut parasites of generalist pollinators, which consume nectar and pollen from many plant species, are exposed to phytochemical combinations. Interactions between phytochemicals could augment or decr...

BACKGROUND Tissue factor (TF) is the main initiator of the arterial blood coagulation system, and aggregated LDL (agLDL) are found in the arterial intima. Our hypothesis is that agLDL internalization by vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) may trigger TF-procoagulant activity. METHODS AND RESULTS Cultured human VSMCs were obtained from human coronary arteries of explanted hearts during transp...

Unlike unanimous opinion on tissue factor (TF) expression in monocytes, the quest for TF presence in granulocytes has been going on for decades. To study the cell origin and track the blood-borne TF, we assessed TF activity and protein levels, knocked-down endogenous TF expression with small interfering RNA (siRNA), and overexpressed TF-yellow fluorescent protein (TF-YFP) fusion in immunologica...

The aim of the study was to investigate the Cassia auriculata and cardiospermum halicacabum leaf for Phytochemical compounds and GC-MS analysis. The presence of phytochemical compounds was screened by qualitative method. The results showed the presence of Phytochemical compounds of carbohydrates, phenol, lipid, protein, saponin, flavonoids and tannin. GC-MS analysis 13,15 bioactive phytochemica...

Annona squamosa seed extracts were studied for their phytochemical constituents, total phenolics and flavonoid contents. For this purpose different tests of petroleum ether, chloroform, ethyl acetate and methanol extracts of Annona squamosa were extracted and concentrated. The preliminary phytochemical screenings of Annona squamosa for its phytochemical constituents were performed using general...

Propolis is a complex resinous material with many pharmacological and biological properties attributed to the presence of many volatile and non-volatile phytochemical compounds which have not been analysed in details for Malaysian propolis. In this study, we determined and compared volatile phytochemical compounds in water and ethanol extracts of Malaysian propolis (Trigona itama) using gas chr...
