ABSTRACT: Spontaneous and experimental poisoning by Tephrosia cinerea in the northeastern semiarid region of Brazil has only been described sheep. Pathologically, such leads to ascites centrilobular liver fibrosis. However, these effects require an study goats. This aimed determine goats’ susceptibility ingestion T. minimum toxic dose, describing main clinical anatomopathological findings. Pois...

Random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) marker was used to establish intergeneric classification and phylogeny of the tribe Millettieae sensu Geesink (1984) (Leguminosae: Papilionoideae) and to assess genetic relationship between 9 constituent species belonging to 5 traditionally recognized genera under the tribe. DNA from pooled leaf samples was isolated and RAPD analysis performed using 25 de...

(m. annua), (martyniaccae) has been traditionally used in the treatment of epilepsy, sore throat and inflammatory disorders. the leaf paste is used topically on tuberculosis of the lymphatic glands and wounds of domestic animals. tephrosia purpurea (t. purpurea), (fabaceae) has been used traditionally as a remedy for asthma, gonorrhea, rheumatism and ulcers. this st...

BACKGROUND Zebrafish is an important model organism for human neurobehavioural studies and compound screening for neurodegenerative disorders like Alzheimer's disease and dementia. PURPOSE We wanted to analyse the rapid neurobehavioural effects based on acetylcholinesterase inhibitors from Tephrosia purpurea in zebrafish. METHODS Tephrosia purpurea (a herbal neuroactive molecule) extract wa...
