Background: Cryobiology and in vitro maturation of oocytes are very important tools of reproductive technology. Oocyte plays an important role in fertility. The objective of this research is comparison study the effect of invitro maturation and IVF fertilization of cryopreserved oocyte with fresh oocyte in mice. Materials and Methods: For this purpose, after superovulation was performed oocytes...

proteases play a key role in protein digestion in ticks and other haematophagous insects. our understanding of blood meal digestion in digestive system of ticks can be very useful for better understanding of basic rules for control of ticks. cells of the midgut endocytose blood components. blood proteins uptake by midgut cells, suggesting the presence of proteases in the midgut cells. in this s...

The aim of the present study was to evaluate invitro and invivo antiasthmatic activity of ethanolic bark extract of Symplocos racemosa. For invitro study, isolated guinea pig ileum was used and dose response curve of histamine in plain Tyrode solution and in Tyrode solution containing 25 μg/ml ethanolic barks extract of Symplocos racemosa were performed. For invivo study histamine induced bronc...

Solid dispersion complexes of meloxicam were prepared by using cyclodextrins (BCD, HPBCD), PVP and urea by kneading method in different molar and weight ratios. The complexes were characterized by DSC and IR, suggested that no chemical interaction between drug and carrier. The solubility, dissolution and permeability was studied for prepared complexes. The solubility, dissolution and permeabili...

Embelia ribes is a threatened woody shrub belonging to the family Myrsinaceae, which is sparsely distributed in the moist deciduous forests of the Western Ghats in India. The previous reports showed the effect of Embelin in methylcholanthrene induced fibrosarcoma in albino rats besides enhancing their survival time. Embelin provided a good support for the chemopreventive effect against Nnitroso...

Invitro antibacterial and antifungal activities of methanolic extract of osbeckia wynaadensis was evaluated in the present study for the first time by disc diffusion method using five bacterial strains (S. pneumonia, B.cereus, A. hydrophila , V. cholera and MRSA) and five fungal strains (Candida albicans, Aspergillus niger, Streptomysis Greusis, M. purpureus and Aspergillus fumigate) respective...

A free radical scavenging activity is an important property of natural dietary compounds, caffeine and caffeic acid compound widely present in many fruits, vegetables and coffee. The present study focused on determining the antioxidant activity of caffeine, caffeic acid and (caffeine + caffeic acid) through invitro antioxidant experiments. Invitro lipid peroxidtion, 1,1diphenyl-2-picryl-hydrazy...

Anaphalis neelgerriana DC and Cnicus wallichi DC belonging to the family Asteraceae (Compositae) are important medicinal plants indigenous to Nilgiris. Since the related species Anaphalis morrisonicola and Cnicus benedictus were reported for its anti cancer activities, the above mentioned plants were screened for Invitro antioxidant activity. In vitro antioxidant studies were carried out by DPP...
