In order to continue our previous studies on some Viola species from Romania, we have analysed for the first time some active principles from aerial parts of V. declinata Waldst. et Kit. We have performed gravimetric methods for saponins and mucilages, and spectrophotometric determinations and HPLC analysis of carotenoids. We established the content in saponins (4.40%), mucilages (10.26%), and ...

One-time injection of domestic preparation of bull parathyrin—parathyreoidin (1 U/100g body weight, intramuscular) leads to a significant decrease of the blood glucose level and an increase of the serum calcium level in rats. There is a close negative correlation established between glucose and calcium level (r = −0.813, P > 0.02). The calcium laktat load (9 mg) per os induces the same changes....

Increased economic incentive for producing young and leaner carcasses, as well as demand for lean meat from progressively health conscious consumers, are considered drivers for change in carcass composition over time. Furthermore, many retailers trim visible fat from meat to various degrees and consumers increasingly remove visible fat from meat prior to, or after, cooking. The objective of thi...

Shen, L., Li, D., Feng, F. and Ren, Y. Nutritional composition of Polyrhachis vicina Roger (Edible Chinese black ant) Songklanakarin J. Sci. Technol., 2006, 28(Suppl. 1) : 107-114 Edible black ant (Polyrhachis vicina Roger) is a traditional edible insect species in China. It has been used as a functional ingredient in various tonics or health foods. This study determined the nutritional composi...

There are reports of development of resistance to the second generation anticoagulant, bromadiolone in rodents from several countries, but no systematic study has been carried out in India to record the status of bromadiolone resistance. To distinguish susceptible and resistant individuals of house rat, Rattus rattus, it was required to record their response towards toxicity of LD50 of bromadio...

ABSTRACT Mangaba (Hancornia speciosa Gomes) is a fruit species native to Brazil, belonging the Apocynaceae family. Its cultivation predominantly extractivist and its antioxidant properties have been recently reported. The objective of this study was evaluate bioactive compounds activity in fruits accession from Active Germplasm Bank Embrapa Coastal Tablelands (BI, CA, LG, PR, PT TC). extracts w...

Cordyceps militaris contains many kinds of bioactive components with the various physiological activities, but has less natural sources of fruiting bodies. Compared with the fruiting bodies from the same origin, the fermented mycelia contained significantly higher amount of protein, crude fat and polysaccharides. The mycelia had more amount of the total amino acids, with proline (3.84 ± 0.12 g ...

The objective of this paper was to evaluate seven different berries most consumed in Romania order determine the bioactive compounds: total phenolics content, flavonoid anthocyanins antioxidant activity by DPPH and capacity (water-soluble lipid-soluble photochemiluminescence assay, PCL). analyzed fruits contain significant amounts phenolic compounds between 18.91 383.06 mg gallic acid equivalen...
