In this research, essential oils (EOs) were extracted through steaming from aerial parts of three plants: basil (Ocinum basilicum L.), peppermint (Mentha piperita L.) and oregano (Origanum vulgare form Sibiu County, Romania. The GC-MS analysis indicated that eugenol apiol the major compounds in EO. Timol, ɣ-terpinene, p-cymene volatile oil menthol methone main components first 48 h analysis, EO...

thyme (thymus vulgaris l.) is an aromatic and medicinal plant which is very important for the herbal industry. in this research, in vitro selection for nacl tolerance was investigated in this plant. hypocotyl and shoot explants (apical meristem and cotyledonary leaves) of sterilized seedlings were cultured in ms medium supplemented with different combinations of 2, 4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid ...

When ambient temperature is decreased in mammals, autonomic and behavioral heat-gain responses occur to maintain their core temperatures. However, what molecules in cutaneous sensory nerve endings mediate cooling-induced responses is unclear. Recently, transient receptor potential melastatin-8 (TRPM8) has been identified in cell bodies of sensory neurons as low-temperature and menthol-activated...

Background: L-menthol [(1R,3R,4S)-(-)-menthol] is a flavoring that is the main component of mint herb essential oils, especially of the Mentha piperita and Mentha arvensis species. Its low solubility in aqueous systems makes precise formulation necessary in the final products. Of the methods available for fabrication of nanoparticles for use in pharmaceuticals, electrospraying is easy and requi...

−Biodegradation of methylene chloride by a mixed microbial culture, isolated from a common sewage treatment plant, was investigated in a batch system. Batch experiments were performed at room temperature (27 C) and pH value of 7. The methylene chloride concentration in growth media varied from 25 mgl to 250 mgl. A maximum observed degradation was 1 mglh at 100 mgl of methylene chloride. The cul...

Background: Thromboembolic disorders are one of the important causes leading to death. In Siddha system medicine, many drugs have been mentioned in literature and their thrombolytic potential needs be scientifically evaluated. Aim: The study aims perform Silico computational studies Phytoconstituents formulation Sikkanjar Manapagu (SM) evaluate its potential. Methods: Autodock program was used ...

This study was accomplished to examine the efficiency of natural zeolite in preventing acute toxicity of total ammonia to Huso huso. The study was performed using Water Static Method in 96 hours. Fish averaged 46 ? 5 g in weight and 22 ? 4 cm in total length were exposed to four different concentrations (15, 30, 50, 75 mgL-1) of ammonia and a group was considered as control. Under stable condit...

Cucumis melo L. is one of the most economically important horticultural crops worldwide. However,   low plant regeneration frequency of this plant during genetic transformation is  the  major hurdle for  applying biotechnological approaches. Hence, this study aimed to evaluate the effect of 6-benzyladenine (BA), cefotaxime (CTX), kanamycin (KAN), and indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) on the regenerati...

Nanoparticles are atomic or molecular particles with at least 1–100 nanometer diameters. They have entered vastly into the world of agriculture and biology; this is because of their special effect and their unique features. Their unknown impact on living things and the ecosystems has caused a lot of concern. This research was done in order to study the effects of nano-TiO2 and nano aluminium on...

Dendritic cells (DCs) are the most potent APCs of the immune system that seed the peripheral tissues and lymphoid organs. In an immature state, DCs sample their surroundings for incoming pathogens. Upon Ag encounter, DCs mature and migrate to the lymph node to induce adaptive immune responses. The C-type macrophage galactose-type lectin (MGL), expressed in immature DCs, mediates binding to glyc...
