Environmental exposure to the oxidant-producing herbicide, paraquat (PQ) (1,1'-dimethyl-4,4'-bipyridinium dichloride) has long been implicated as a risk factor in Parkinson's disease (PD). PQ-induced oxidative stress has been exploited as a model to screen putative neuroprotective compounds employing Drosophila. In the present study, we investigated the prophylactic efficacy of Bacopa monnieri ...

Gastric ulcers were induced in normal/NIDDM rats by various physical (2 hr cold restraint stress and 4 hr pylorus ligation) and chemical agents (ethanol, 1 ml/200 g, oral, 1 hr before; aspirin, 200 mg/kg, oral, 4 hr) and duodenal ulcers were induced by cysteamine (40 mg/200 g). Ulcer healing activity was studied in gastric ulcers induced by acetic acid (50%) and HCI (0.6 M). The result indicate...

In an 8-week greenhouse experiment, Bacopa monnieri (water hyssop) and Leersia oryzoides (rice cutgrass) were compared for nutrient assimilation as well as soil and water chemistry under variable flooding regimes using a nutrient solution rich in nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P). Soil redox potential decreased in flooded treatments; however, mesocosms containing B. monnieri remained aerobic for ...

Wound healing effects of 50% ethanol extract of dried whole plant of Bacopa monniera (BME) was studied on wound models in rats. BME (25 mg/kg) was administered orally, once daily for 10 days (incision and dead space wound models) or for 21 days or more (excision wound model) in rats. BME was studied for its in vitro antimicrobial and in vivo wound breaking strength, WBS (incision model), rate o...

BACKGROUND One of the major challenges associated with our ageing population is the increasing incidence of age-associated cognitive decline, which has significant implications for an individual's ability to lead a productive and fulfilling life. In pure economic terms the costs of ageing reflects decreased productivity and engagement with the workforce. The maintenance of brain health underpin...

The Development and Assessment of a Herbal Floating Tablet for Peptic Ulcer Disease. goal creating herbal floating tablet is to extend the drugs duration in gastrointestinal tract. This will increase bioavailability result greater absorption than with convectional dose form. Due its gastro-retentive feature, medicine remains at site inflammation longer amount time, resulting more targeted actio...
