The plant has also been used in India and ...

Nausea and vomiting are the most distressing and common side effects of cancer chemotherapy which often result in patient non-compliance. In the present study, standardized methanolic fractions of Bacopa monniera (BM) were evaluated against cisplatin induced emesis in the pigeon in relation to their activity on central and intestinal neurotransmitter levels. Cisplatin (7.0 mg/kg, i.v.) induced ...

Bacopa monnieri is one of the most interesting plants from the Ayurveda system. The aims of present research were, basing on in vitro shoot culture of B. monnieri, to determine content and to evaluate the influence of physiologically important metabolites on the selected bioelements accumulation in biomass. The most significant increase in biomass production was observed in the culture medium e...

OBJECTIVE Bacopa monniera (BM), a traditional Ayurvedic medicine has been used in treatment for a number of disorders, particularly those involving anxiety, intellect and poor memory. The current study examined the effects of standardized extract of Bacopa monniera on the dendritic morphology in adult rats of hippocampal CA3 neurons, one of the regions concerned with learning and memory. MATE...

in the present study, cadmium (cd) accumulation capabilities of aquatic macrophytes ceratophyllum demersum, bacopa monnieri and rotala rotundifolia were determined after treating both individual and triple macrophytes. the macrophytes were treated with cd at 0, 0.1, 1 and 10 mg/l concentrations in a controlled chamber for 12-days. cadmium accumulations increased with increasing cd concentration...

Mutations were induced in tissue cultured raised Bacopa monnieri (L.) plantlets by treating in vitro derived leaves with gamma rays at (γ – rays) dose rate of 0, 10, 20, 40 and 80 gray (Gy) and 0.5% of ethyl methanesulphonate (EMS) at 0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0 and 2.5 hours (h). Xantha mutants were observed with γ rays at 10, 20 and 40 Gy. All the leaf explants treated with 80 Gy were either necrot...

Nausea and vomiting are the most distressing and common side effects of cancer chemotherapy which often result in patient noncompliance. In the present study, standardized methanolic and n-butanolic fractions of Bacopa monnieri were evaluated against cisplatin-induced emesis in the pigeon in relation to their activity on central and intestinal neurotransmitters levels. Cisplatin (7.0 mg/kg, i. ...
