Abstract Background Fluoride may induce oxidative stress and apoptosis. It also lead to neurobehavioural defects including neuromuscular damage. The present study aimed explore the effects of sub lethal concentrations sodium fluoride (NaF) on lifespan climbing ability Drosophila melanogaster. In total, 0.6 mg/L 0.8 NaF were selected as sublethal for study. Lifespan was measured activity assay p...

background: recent studies have shown that benzene extract of ocimum sanctum (o. sanctum) leaves induces the ultrastructural changes in the epithelial cells of the cauda epididymis, its subsequent recovery in the seminiferous epithelium and fertility of male albino rats. objective: our aim was to investigate the effect of benzene extract of o.sanctum leaves on the cauda epididymal sperm paramet...

The objective of the study was to investigate the anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory effect of aqueous extract of Ocimum sanctum leaf. The antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities were evaluated using in vitro Ferric reducing power, Free radical scavenging activity by DPPH method, hydroxyl radical scavenging activity, Nitric oxide radical scavenging activity, Hyaluronidase inhibition assay....

present transplant study was carried out across lucknow, the capital of utter pardesh using two medicinally important plants viz., ?catharanthus roseus l.? and ?ocimum sanctum l.? to assess whether certain ecophysiological responses (change in total flavonoids and total phenolics) in these two plants may serve as the biomarkers of auto exhaust pollution. samples were taken from five different s...

background essential oils (eos) possess antibacterial properties and represent a natural source to treat infections and prevent food spoilage. their chemical composition might be affected by the environmental condition and the developmental growth stages of the plant. objectives the current study aimed to determine the variations in chemical compositions and antimicrobial activities of the eos ...
