Sir, These days we encounter several patients of substance dependence for elective surgical procedures or in an emergency. These patients at that time may be either addicted to them or on de-addiction treatment. Physical addiction to any drug is a function of multiple neuroadaptations (tolerance, sensitization, and withdrawal) of the body to the effect of the drug.[1] Smokeless tobacco or finel...

In order to investigate the influence of seed sowing time and nutrients on growth yield fennel, an experiment based Randomized Complete Block Design with twelve treatments three replications at Horticulture Farm Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University, Nagar, Dhaka during October, 2019 July, 2020 season was carried out. Fennel variety ‘BARI Mouri-1’ used as planting material in this study. The co...

The study was conducted to determine fennel essential oil (FEO) yield, composition, and antioxidant activity during four different maturation stages of umbels with seeds (1st stage: immature-pasty; 2nd premature-waxy; 3rd mature-fully ripe; 4th only), leaves wild (Foeniculum vulgare Mill. subsp. vulgare) from the Montenegro coast. maximum yield found in premature at waxy stage (4.76 mL/100 g p....

We screened for α-glucosidase inhibitors from 12 traditional medicinal plants used for the treatment of diabetes. Potent α-glucosidase inhibitory activity was found in aqueous extract of Psidium guajava leaves and Syzygium cumini Linn seed extract. Active principles inhibiting α-glucosidase were isolated and identified as apigenin 7O-glucoside in the S.cumini Linn seed extract and Dihydro-3,3’,...

Soil abiotic factors influence plant defensive traits by shaping the costs of defence production and these bottom-up effects on plants can in turn affect insect herbivory. However, few studies have disentangled direct indirect soil defences To address this gap, we tested seed predation via changes for sea fennel (Crithmum maritimum), a common coastal southern Spain whose seeds are consumed spec...

The therapeutic potential of Cassia surattensis in reducing free radical-induced oxidative stress and inflammation particularly in hepatic diseases was evaluated in this study. The polyphenol rich C. surattensis seed extract showed good in vitro antioxidant. C. surattensis seed extract contained total phenolic content of 100.99 mg GAE/g dry weight and there was a positive correlation (r > 0.9) ...

BACKGROUND One of the known complications of diabetes mellitus is vascular dysfunction. Inability of the coronary vascular response to cardiac hyperactivity might cause a higher incidence of ischemic heart disease in diabetic subjects. It has been indicated that regular exercise training and antioxidants could prevent diabetic cardiovascular problems enhanced by vascular damage. OBJECTIVES Th...

It was found that fenugreek seed extract reduced the body weight gain induced by a high-fat diet in obese mice. The extract decreased plasma triglyceride gain induced by oil administration. The major component of the extract, 4-hydroxyisoleucine, also decreased plasma triglyceride gain. Consequently, fenugreek seed extract is expected to prevent the obesity induced by a high-fat diet.

The skins and seeds of grapes are known to be rich sources of phenolic compounds, both flavonoids and non-flavonoids. The aim of the present study is to determine polyphenolic composition, antioxidant potential along with free radical scavenging activity and antimicrobial properties of ethanol extract of Grape skin and seed. Grape seed showed high antioxidant and antimicrobial activity compared...
