Despite the traditional use of Solidago canadensis L. (Asteraceae) as a diuretic drug, there is a scarcity in scientific data concerning the activity of its different extracts and fractions as well as the class of constituents responsible for this diuretic action. A comparative study was carried out for the diuretic activities of the different standardized extracts and fractions of the...

Adsorption of small pellicle proteins statherin or proline-rich protein 1 (PRP1), respectively, and subsequent adsorption of human whole saliva (HWS) or salivary mucin MUC5B, respectively, was studied using ellipsometry and total internal reflectance fluorescence. Differences in elution (using sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS) solutions) between mixed and single protein films were also investigated...

Objective: Oxidative stress is associated with the pathogenesis of brain ischemia and other neurodegenerative disorders. Previous researches have shown the antioxidant activity of Viola odorata L. In this project, we studied neuro-protective and reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenging activities of methanol  (MeOH) extract and other fractions isolated from <e...

Paludiculture, and in particular the cultivation of perennial grasses as biomass feedstock for green biorefineries, may be an economic environmentally sustainable option agricultural peatlands temperate regions. However, optimal quality protein extraction from flood-tolerant is largely unknown. The aim this study was to define combined effect harvest fertilization frequency, with one five annua...

Inspite of considerable development in contraceptive technology, search for female antifertility agent in plants continues to be a potential area of investigation. The ethanol extract of Crotalaria juncea seeds which showed promising antiovulatory activity in female albino rats was examined for the isolation of its active fractions. Two fractions were obtained using Thin Layer Chromatography ...
