Lysosomal and microsomal acid phosphatase activity was estimated in midgut tissue of silkworm larvae, Bombyx mori L. (Lepidoptera: Bombycidae), after induced oxidative stress by D-galactose. The larvae were simultaneously were treated with ethanolic extracts of Bacopa monniera and Lactuca sativa to study their antioxidant properties. Lipid peroxidation and fluorescence was measured to analyze e...

OBJECTIVES Evaluation of therapeutic potentials of α-lipoic acid (α-LA), L-carnitine, Nigella sativa (N. sativa) or combination of them in carbohydrate and lipid metabolism of DM type I. METHODS Rat model of diabetes was induced by single i.p injection of Streptozocin (STZ) 65 mg/kg. The rats were randomly assigned to 6 groups (G): healthy reference (HR), diabetic (DM), DM treated with α-lipo...

A factorial completely randomized block design experiment with three replications was carried out in greenhouse to evaluate cereal genotypic variation in phosphorus (P) acquisition and utilization efficiency in a calcareous soil with low available P (4.6 mg P kg-1 soil) and high total P (1260 mg P kg-1 soil). Treatments consisted of eight bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), three durum wheat (T...

A method for determination of β-cyano-L-alanine, γ-glutamyl-β-cyano-L-alanine and other free amino acids in Vicia sativa is presented. Seed extracts were derivatized by reaction with diethyl ethoxymethylenemalonate and analyzed by reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography. Calibration curves showed very good linearity of the response. The limit of detection and quantification was 0.1...

objective(s): nowadays, nanoparticles bio production, considering their performance in medicine and biological science, is increasing. green synthesis of metal nanoparticles using organisms has emerged as a nontoxic and ecofriendly method for synthesis of metal nanoparticles the objectives of this study were the production of silver nanoparticles using avena sativa l. extract and optimization o...
