Fresh and raw vegetables may play a significant role in transmission of intestinal parasitic infections to humans. Therefore, this study was conducted estimate the level contamination which are consumed Aden governorate, Yemen. This is descriptive analytic cross-sectional six local markets were randomly selected. A total 216 fresh vegetable samples including parsley (Petroselinum sativum), wate...

The plants, which were of the dwarf variety and much-branched, were poorly developed, and the leaves mostly wilted, yellowed, or dead (PI. LXIII). The stems had a peculiar translucent or water-soaked appearance, allowing the vascular bundles to show as darkened streaks beneath the unbroken epidermis. When the stem was cut across, there oozed from these bundles a grayish white viscid slime which...

The storage triacylglycerols of nasturtium (Tropaeolum majus) seeds are composed principally of cis-11-eicosenoate and cis-13-docosenoate. To investigate the biosynthesis of these C(20) and C(22) fatty acids, developing seed tissue was incubated with various (14)C-labeled precursors. Incubation with [1-(14)C]acetate produced primarily cis-11-[1-(14)C]eicosenoate and cis-13-[1,3-(14)C]docosenoat...

Nasturtium (Tropaeolum majus L.) contains high concentrations of benzylglcosinolate. We found that a hydrolysis product of benzyl glucosinolate-the benzyl isothiocyanate (BITC)-modulates the intracellular localization of the transcription factor Forkhead box O 1 (FOXO1). FoxO transcription factors can antagonize insulin effects and trigger a variety of cellular processes involved in tumor suppr...

Plants used for treating endoand ectoparasites of rabbits and poultry in British Columbia included Arctium lappa (burdock), Artemisia sp. (wormwood), Chenopodium album (lambsquarters) and C. ambrosioides (epazote), Cirsium arvense (Canada thistle), Juniperus spp. (juniper), Mentha piperita (peppermint), Nicotiana sp. (tobacco), Papaver somniferum (opium poppy), Rubus spp. (blackberry and raspbe...
