antibacterial, antifungal and antioxidant activities of methanolic crude extracts from aerial parts of four arnebia species namely arnebia fimbriopetala, arnebia linearifolia, arnebia garandiflora, arnebia tubata were screened. total phenolic contents were determined by folin-ciocalteu procedure and ranged from 2.2 ± 0.13 (a. fimbriopetala) to 1.6 ± 1.0 mg (arnebia tubata) gallic acid µmol equi...

biogeochemistry is a useful tool for assessing geochemical dispersion patterns. sari gunay epithermal gold deposit was selected in order to assess the application of biogeochemical exploration for gold in northwestern iran. in this study, four sites were sampled in a profile perpendicular to mineralized vein with a control site two km far-off mineralized vein. a sample from each dominant plant ...

Plants are a potential source of natural antioxidants. Antioxidants protect from the potentially damaging oxidative stress, which is a result of an imbalance between the formation of ROS (Reactive oxygen species) and the body antioxidant defense. The present study was directed to investigate the antioxidant activity of methanolic extract of different plant parts of Cocculus hirsutus. The antiox...
