Cigarette smoke is a major risk factor for many chronic diseases. However, it may be possible to relieve the smoke-induced damage by increasing the defensive system. In this study, we planned to evaluate the protective mechanism of Sesbania grandiflora (S. grandiflora) leaves against cigarette smoke-induced oxidative damage in liver and kidney of rats. Adult male Wistar-Kyoto rats were exposed ...

Three isoflavanoids, isovestitol (1), medicarpin (2), and sativan (3), along with another known compound, betulinic acid (4), were isolated from the root of Sesbania grandiflora. The structures of the isolated compounds were characterised by means of spectroscopic techniques (UV, IR, MS, 1H- and 13C-NMR, DEPT, COSY, HMQC, HMBC, and MS analysis). All the tested compounds 1-4 exhibited antituberc...

Abstract Sesbania grandiflora leaves are extensively used locally since ancient time as in traditional systems. Base on mainly folkloric use, we investigated to know the potential of Sesbania grandiflora leaves extracts through biological works in vivo and in vitro. The ethanolic extract of S. grandiflora leaves was partitioned into ethyl acetate soluble fraction (ESF), petroleum ether so...

The present study describes the green synthesis of TiO2 nanoparticles using Sesbania Grandiflora and Solanum nigrum leaf extracts. characterisation synthesised is carried out XRD FTIR. photo catalytic degradation Rhodamine-B dye carry under sunlight irradiation by UV- Vis spectrophotometer. Among synthesized catalysts, SG/TiO2 was found to be best for photocatalytic dye. degraded water also tes...

R. Ricci A. Bacci V. Tugnoli S. Battaglia M. Maffei R. Agati M. Leonardi BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Little is known about the metabolic properties of brain edema associated with tumors. This work was conducted on the basis of the assumption that, in the presence of intra-axial and extra-axial brain tumors, the white matter involved by the edema is a site of metabolic change that involves the struc...

The World Health Organization encourages the use of medicinal plants especially in countries where conventional treatment of major diseases seems to be insufficient. India has good biodiversity and Indian medicinal plants are used in successful management of various diseases. Sesbania grandiflora (SG), family – Leguminosae, is a well known Indian medicinal plant used in traditional system for v...

In this paper we will put forward our view on the computational modeling of music cognition with respect to the issues addressed in the Music Performance Panel held during the MOSART 2001 workshop. We will focus on issues that can be considered crucial in the development of our understanding of human performance and perception in its application to computer music systems. Furthermore, they were...
