abstract soil pollution with heavy metals like zinc causes increasing concerns about environment. according to distribution in soil, this study was conducted to compare zinc concentration between aggregate exteriors and interiors of some contaminated soils. aggregates were collected from 5 depths of 4 soil profiles with different textures and were separated mechanically into exterior and interi...

this study was designed to examine the in vitro antioxidant activities and total phenolic contents of the methanolic extracts from male inflorescence of salix aegyptiaca l. grown in iran. the methanolic extract (me) and its three fractions including water (wf), butanol (bf) and chloroform (cf) were prepared and then their antioxidant activities, as well as total phenolic contents, were evaluate...

in the present study, an oxidative conversion of non-fluorescent dichlorofluoroscein (ldcf) to fluorescent dichlorofluoroscein (dcf) was used for detection of antioxidant properties of plant extracts. the rate of the reaction was followed by monitoring the formation of dcf as a function of time. the antioxidant assay was carried out for different concentrations of gallic acid, salvia mirzayanii...

Response of Potassium (K) is boosted due to the introduction high-yielding varieties and cropping intensity. So, a pot experiment was done see allocation native added K in soils response this on rice. Seven soil samples from seven AEZs. An amount 1-kilogram taken each 28 earthen pots which 14 for cultivation rice without as control. other fertilizers applied follows Fertilizer Recommendation Gu...

Objective: This study is to investigate the antioxidant and antitumor effects of the extract fractions of the Ferula sinkiangensis K. M. Shen. Methods: Four different fractions of the Ferula sinkiangensis K. M. Shen were obtained by the extraction with petroleum ether, ethyl acetate, n-butanol, and methanol, respectively, which were used to treat the HCT116, Caco-2, HepG2, and MFC cells. Free r...

Background: Salvia mirzayanii, a native plant to Iran, is shown to have immunomodulatory effects on lymphocyte proliferation. Objective: To identify the bioactive immunomodulatory compound(s) present in S. mirzayanii. Methods: The crude extract was fractionated to five fractions in two steps using different solvents. The fractions were subjected to bioassay-guided fractionation. All the fractio...
