BACKGROUND Indian medicinal plants used in the Ayurvedic traditional system to treat diabetes are a valuable source of novel anti-diabetic agents. Pancreatic α-amylase inhibitors offer an effective strategy to lower the levels of post-prandial hyperglycemia via control of starch breakdown. In this study, seventeen Indian medicinal plants with known hypoglycemic properties were subjected to sequ...

This paper presents ALBA-R, a protocol for converge casting in wireless sensor networks. ALBA-R features the crosslayer integration of geographic routing with contention-based MAC for relay selection and load balancing (ALBA), as well as a mechanism to detect and route around connectivity holes (Rainbow). ALBA and Rainbow (ALBA-R) together solve the problem of routing around a dead end without ...

Background & Aim: Applications of synthetic antioxidant in food have side effects. In present study, the antioxidant potential of Morus alba leaves, as natural antioxidant, was screened with cupric ion reducing assay (CUPRAC assay) and inhibition of lipid peroxidation. The aim of this study was to determine the total antioxidant activity of Morus alba leaves. Martial & Method...

Phytochrome in Sinapis alba L. (white mustard) seedlings undergoes both decay and reversion after an exposure to red light. This is typical of other crucifers and of dicotyledons in general. In the presence of sodium azide, decay is inhibited, and reversion continues at about the same rate as in buffer alone. The reversion has been demonstrated both in cotyledon plus hypocotyl hook and in hypoc...

The present study was conducted to evaluate the hepatoprotective effects of aqueous acetone extract of Sida alba. (Malvaceae) an herbal plant used in Burkina Faso to treat traditionally hepatics affections in albinos Wistar rats. Animals were treated by gavage during 28 days with different doses of aqueous acetone extracts of Sida alba. (75, 100, 150 mg/kg) suspended in 35% ethanol. Control gro...

The immunomodulatory bioassay-guided fractionation of the methanolic extract of henna (Lawsonia inermis L.; syn. Lawsonia alba L.) leaves resulted in the isolation of seven compounds; three have been isolated for the first time from the genus, namely p-coumaric acid, 2-methoxy-3-methyl-1,4-naphthoquinone and apiin, along with the previously isolated compounds: lawsone, apigenin, luteolin, and c...

The study was designed to evaluate the cardioprotective effect of methanolic extract of Morus alba L. leaves against isoprenalineinduced myocardial infarction and was investigated by an in vivo method in rats. Male Wistar albino rats were divided into four groups (n=6). Group I rats served as normal control. Group II rats served as isoprenaline induced toxic control (110 mg/kg body weight) whic...

Horticulture is a discipline mainly concerned with the cultivation of plant material for food supply, medicinal use, or functional and aesthetic purposes by humans, they are genetically diverse group play an important role in economy modern society, as well at center healthy diet urban population. In this respect, Rosa L. plants traditional pharmacological practices landscape studies. context, ...

BACKGROUND Silver fir trunk extract (SFTE) is a complex mixture of antioxidative polyphenols (lignans and phenolic acids) from the trunks of silver fir trees (Abies alba, lignum). In our previous study, we have shown that SFTE exerts strong antioxidative and protective effects against atherogenic, diet-induced arterial wall damage. OBJECTIVE The aim of the present study was to test the potent...
