There is some report about the hypoglycemic effect of Juglans rejia L. leaf in alloxan induced diabetic rats and hypoglycemic effect of its fruit peel administered intra peritoneally. Thirty male Wistar rats divided into five groups, to evaluate the hypoglycemic and pancreas β-cells regenerative effects of oral methanolic extracts of leaf and fruit peel of walnut. Rats were made diabetic by int...

UNLABELLED PREMISE OF THE STUDY Fifty microsatellite loci were developed for the endangered species Juglans mandshurica to investigate its genetic diversity and population structure. • METHODS AND RESULTS In all, 50 microsatellite markers were isolated from J. mandshurica, using the Fast Isolation by AFLP of Sequences COntaining repeats (FIASCO) protocol. Twenty of these polymorphic marker...

The current study was undertaken to evaluate in vitro the antileishmanial activity of three plants growing wild in Algeria : Juglans regia, Lawsonia inermis and Salvia officinalis. The hydroalcoholic extracts of these plants were tested on the growth of the promastigotes of Leishmania major. The plant extract effects were compared with three controls : CRL1 composed of 1 ml RPMI inoculated with...

BACKGROUND Juglans regia has been found to exhibit significant anticancer activity against various human cancer cell lines. This study was undertaken to isolate the active chemical constituent (Juglone) and to investigate its cytotoxic activity along with its various analogs against different human cancer cell lines. METHODS Isolation of juglone, a napthoquinone, from the chloroform extract o...

A preliminary conclusion of the research is that there does not appear to be significant genetic differences in developmental times between the codling moth populations in walnuts and apples. Codling moths were collected from walnuts and placed onto artificial diet as a rearing medium. Data obtained from these individuals were consistent with the data obtained from colonies of codling moth coll...

OBJECTIVE Our objective is to determine the value of enhanced substantia nigra echo in the diagnosis of Parkinson's disease by analyzing the intensity and area of substantia nigra echo by transcranial Doppler sonography (TCS). PATIENTS AND METHODS 36 patients diagnosed as ultra early stage Parkinson's disease between 2013 November and 2014 August were selected as the disease group, and 32 hea...

Research is related to the biology and ecology of white mistletoe (Víscum álbum L.), with an analysis its impact on dendroflora natural artificial ecosystems. The sequence stages invasive cycle mistletoe, starting from stage infection, intensity invasion (the degree spread in crown), suppression host trees, their death biodegradation, as well mechanism these processes. These have different dura...
