background: diabetes mellitus is considered one of the 5 principal causes of death in the world and is recognized as a global public health issue because of its multifactorial facets affecting essential biochemical processes in the body. this study investigated the antidiabetic and antidyslipidemic activities of the aqueous extract of cochlospermum planchonii (c. planchonii) leaves in streptozo...

Leaves exhibit a wide range of form and function: as well as the flattened photosynthetic organs we are most familiar with, modifications of leaf morphology produce the rigid spines of cacti, the cup-shaped insect traps of pitcher plants, colorful flower parts such as petals and some of the tendrils used for attachment by climbing plants. One fundamental choice in leaf architecture is whether t...

Lead (Pb) is one of the heavy metals that causes pollution in ecosystems, metal Pb can cause disturbances to humans, including plants and animals. In Indonesia, especially Surabaya, Tabebuya grows on main roads as a shade tree well an ornamental plant; This plant be exposed metal, among others, from motor vehicle exhaust. study aimed determine levels chlorophyll leaves. leaves were measured usi...

Fractionation of crude petroleum ether extract of the leaves of Chenopodium album Linn lead to the isolation of β-sitosterol (1), lupeol (2) and 3 hydroxy nonadecyl henicosanoate (3). Their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic methods such as UV, IR, NMR and LCMS. Compound 2 and 3 were isolated for the first time from this plant.

, ABSTRACT. 1. The preference of Corythucha arcuata (Say) (Heteroptera: Tingidae) for the foliage of Quercus alba L. (Fagaceae) grown under water deficit was examined. Potted Q.alba saplings were grown under controlled levels of water deficit in a glasshouse. Adult C. arcuata were exposed to excised Q.alba foliage under controlled conditions in a growth chamber, and feeding preference assessed ...

The present research focuses on the use of Chlorophytum comosum as a bio-indicator able to accumulate, through its leaves, heavy metals in aerosol particulate matter (PM) city Milan (Italy). For this purpose, some specimens were exposed selected sites at University Campus for increasing periods (7, 30, 60, 128 and 165 days). collected leaves then analyzed quantify Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Mn, Ni, Pb, Zn...

[1] This paper presents the first results of Be and Pb specific activities in cloudwater and investigates their respective differences in cloudwater and rainwater. Our data and analysis show that temporal variation of the Be/Pb activity ratio in cloudwater are caused by multiple sources of air masses, with increased Be/Pb activity ratios corresponding to the advent of maritime or high-altitude ...
