Colorectal cancer is the third most common cancer world wide and has been occurred more in developing regions. The use of conventional chemotherapy agents may lead to various adverse effects. Therefore, it is required to find the potential drug for anticancer from alternative source of natural product including mangrove plants. The present study was conducted to determine the anticancer activit...

Tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) is the most consumed vegetable in world after potato. In Cameroon, plant cultivated almost all agroecological areas, however, yields remain low due to attacks by various pathogens and insects. Among pathogens, Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. lycopersici (FOL) a phytopathogenic fungus responsible for wilt, disease enormous economic losses. To contribute control of...

antioxidant activity of aerial part of cytisus scoparius, link (family leguminosae) was studied both by in vitro and in vivo models. different concentrations of different extracts of chloroform, ethyl acetate, methanol and hydroalcoholic extracts of plant were investigated for in vitro antioxidant activity using the thiocyanate method. the hydroalcoholic extract exhibited highest inhibitory act...

chickpea (cicer arietinum l.) is mainly cultivated in arid and semi-arid agricultural systems. drought stress is a major factor delimiting maximum yield. this research evaluated the effects of drought stress treatments on expression of cu/znsod as a gene involving in drought tolerance by real time pcr technique. to find the probable relationship between the molecular and physiological effects o...

In recent years, the application of natural substances on crops has been intensified in order to increase the resistance and yield of the soybean crop. Among these products are included plant biostimulants that may contain algae extracts, amino acids, and plant regulators in their composition. However, there is little information on the isolated effect of each of these constituents. The objecti...

objective(s): neuroinflammation and oxidative stress play a key role in pathogenesis of parkinson’s disease (pd). in the present study we investigated the effect of reactive oxygen species (ros) scavenger wr-1065 on catalepsy and cerebrospinal fluid (csf) level of interleukin 6(il-6) and striatum superoxide dismutase (sod) activity  in 6-hydroxydopamine (6-ohda) induced experimental model of pd...

Background: We aimed at evaluating the toxicity effects of low (subtoxic) concentrations of silver nanoparticles (AgNP, 5-10 nm) in human hepatoblastoma (HepG2) cell line after and during a period of about one month. Methods: XTT and MTT assays were used to draw a dose-response curve IC50 (half maximal inhibitory concentration) value of the AgNP on HepG2 cells was calculated to be 2.75-3.0 mg/l...

Neuroanatomical studies suggest that neuronal atrophy and destruction occur over the course of many years in neurodegenerative conditions such as schizophrenia and Alzheimer's disease. In schizophrenia, early intervention with atypical neuroleptics such as olanzapine has been shown to prevent development of some of the more serious and debilitating symptoms in many patients. The mechanisms wher...

Alpha amanitin and phalloidin are powerful hepatotoxins that belong to the main classes of toxins namely, amatoxins and phallotoxins, isolated from the deadly poisonous mushroom Amanita phalloides. It is well known that disruptions of antioxidant enzyme defense that include superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase, glutathione peroxidase lead to generation of reactive oxygen species, followed by in...
