AIM An experimental study was conducted on 192-day-old broiler chicks for evaluating the effect of 10% neem leaf extract (NLE) supplementationon biochemical parameters in chickens experimentally infected with Escherichia coli O78 at 10(7) CFU/0.5 ml at 7 days of age. MATERIALS AND METHODS The 192-day-old broiler chicks were procured. These chicks were divided into two groups (A and B) contain...

Pain is an unpleasant though very important protective mechanism [1]. It is usually associated with actual or potential tissue damage and is primary reason for seeking medical attention [2]. Opioids are one of the most efficacious analgesics for moderate to severe pain [3]. But they possess strong addictive potential and various other side effects like respiratory depression, drowsiness etc [4]...

Plant-based medicines are useful in the treatment of cancer. Many breast cancer patients use complementary and alternative medicine in parallel with conventional treatments. Neem is historically well known in Asia and Africa as a versatile medicinal plant with a wide spectrum of biological activities. The experiments reported herein determined whether the administration of an ethanolic fraction...

The effect of aqueous leaf extract of Azadirachta indica (A. indica) was evaluated in paracetamol induced hepatotoxicity in rats. Liver necrosis was produced by administering single dose of paracetamol (2 g/kg, p.o.). The liver damage was evidenced by elevated levels of serum aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), gamma glutamyl transpeptidase (gamma-GT) and by histop...

Induction of apoptosis is one of the most active strategies in cancer chemoprevention and the ability of medicinal plants in this regard has attracted major research interest. The present study was designed to investigate the apoptosis inducing capacity of an ethanolic neem leaf extract (ENLE) during 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene (DMBA)-induced hamster buccal pouch carcinogenesis using the apo...

ZnS nanoparticles have been synthesized using various amounts of aqueous Azadirachta Indica (Neem) leaf extract as capping agent and stabilizer. The synthesized nanoparticles were studied by FTIR, powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), energy dispersive analysis of X-rays (EDAX) and UV-Visible spectroscopy. FTIR spect...

Background: Plants have been the basis for many medicinal compounds that are used in modern-day medicine, screening plants bioactive is a way of identifying and developing new antimicrobials less expensive with improved safety efficacy. Objective: The objective this study was to investigate vitro antimicrobial activity Azadirachta indica (neem) using leaf extracts Ethanol, Petroleum ether, Ethy...

Nigella sativa (kalonji) has been used since ancient times as a nutritional supplement and for treating various infections chronic ailments. As pathogens become resistant to most drugs, kalonji can be an alternative compound in modern medicines. The use of herbal extracts endodontic irrigants might beneficial part growing trend seek natural remedies dental treatment.
 Aim: To compare the a...

some safer strategies were designed and evaluated for management of apical leaf curling (chilcv) in chilli capsicum annum l. and its vectors. the strategies were designed emphasizing on the repellent crop theory and the components like physical barrier, adult-trapping, plant sanitation, foliar application of phytochemicals and minimal application of synthetic organic pesticide. the crop was inf...
