this study investigated the effects of the dietary supplementation of zizyphus mauritianaleaf meal (zlm) on the performance of yankasa lambs. twenty five lambs aged between 6 and 8 months were randomly divided into five groups of five animals each in a completely randomized design to receive supplementary diets containing 0, 10, 20, 30 and 40% zlm as replacement for cotton seed cake in concentr...

In the present study, antioxidant activities of the two varieties of fruits of Zizyphus mauritiana (Boroi) were investigated. Ethanolic extracts of fruits powder were characterized by the method described by Hatano et al. [1] in which stable 1, 1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free radical solution were used. In the present investigation, it is found that all of the fruit extracts have remark...

mucoadhesive polymers that bind to the gastric mucin or epithelial cell surface are useful in drug delivery for the purpose of increasing the intimacy and duration of contact of drug with the absorbing membrane. several synthetic polymers are in use for this purpose. since the biodegradability of the synthetic polymers are questionable, in this investigation, an oral mucoadhesive controlled del...

In vitro evaluation of sun protection activity of some medicinal herbs by SPF determination, to find out which herbal extracts have the best protection activity and can be used as sunscreen agent. Sun rays are the most environmental harmful factor which affect skin, cause sun burn and photo aging. According to the previous studies the plant’s flavonoids are suitable absorbents for UV rays. In t...

We examined the effects of Prunella vulgaris Labiatae (P. vulgaris L.) on specific and non-specific immune responses of Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus. The optimal concentration without toxicity of P. vulgaris was determined to 30-40 μg/ml in vitro and 120 μg/100 g of fish in vivo. P. vulgaris significantly elicited an antibody titer compared to FCA or β-glucan. β-glucan plus P. vulgaris g...

In this study honeys of Acacia modesta, Prunus persica, Zizyphus sativa and Isodon rogosus plants were tested against two Gram-positive bacterial strains (Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus cereus), two Gram-negative bacterial strains (Klebsilla pneumonia and Escherichia coli) and two fungal strains (Alternaria alternata and Trichoderma harzianum) through Agar well diffusion method. The tested ...

Two new cyclopeptide alkaloids, sativanine-N and sativanine-O were isolated from the stem bark of Zizyphussativa and their structures were established by spectral analysis.

THE milk-fats from goats and sheep are used, although only to a small extent, as substitutes for those of cows and buffaloes in India. The component fatty acids and glycerides of these two fats have been studied by methods recently developed [Hilditch et al., 1929; 1930; 1931] in the case of cow butter-fats, in order to compare their composition with those of the latter and, in certain respects...
