The role of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) in pentobarbitone (PB) sleeping time, gross behaviour, electrical activity of the brain and serum 5-HT level was studied in Holtzman strain adult albino rats following treatment with M. oleifera (MO). MO (350mg/kg) caused inhibition of awareness, touch response, motor activity, righting reflex, and grip strength. It significantly increased the PB sleeping ...

We investigated how host plant phenology and plant species affected longevity, reproduction, and feeding behavior of an invasive weevil. Phyllobius oblongus L. (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) is common in northern hardwood forests of the Great Lakes Region. Adults emerge in spring, feed on foliage of woody understory plants, and oviposit in the soil. Preliminary data indicate that adults often fee...

This study was conducted to determine if topical application of Moringa oleifera extracts and its bioconversion product fermented by Rhizopus oligosporus has therapeutic properties enhancement for treatment of atopic dermatitis. Rhizopus oligosporus (KCCM 11232P) was used to ferment Moringa leaves' extracts in this study. Comparison of organic acids and flavonols in Moringa simple extracts and ...

A thesis submitted toward partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Engineering in Biomedical Engineering Course affiliated to Faculty of Engineering & Technology Jadavpur University Submitted by Nilanjana Ghosh ROLL NO: M4BMD14 10 REGISTRATION NUMBER : 121172 of 2012-2013 Under the guidance of Dr Piyali Basak Jadavpur University & Dr Anupam Basu The University of Burdwan

the purpose of this study is to investigate the performance and efficiency of moringa seeds from different sources on turbidity. a protein analysis test was done for each source; then two different methods of extraction were compared to examine the coagulation activity for the moringa's active ingredient. the results of sodium chloride (naci) extraction in comparison to distilled water ext...

Eight male cattle of Local Yellow breed with an average live weight of 121 kg and an average age of 18 months were used to evaluate the effects of different levels of sun-dried cassava foliage supplementation (Manihot esculenta) on intake, digestibility and N retention. Rice straw ad libitum and para grass (Brachiaria mutica) at 1% DM of BW comprised the basal diet. The study was arranged as a ...

Fodder shrubs are important dry season feed sources for livestock in semi-arid environments. It has been proposed that a mixture of leguminous with non-leguminous may increase rates N cycling and improve biomass fodder quality. The objective the present study was to assess productivity quality growing shrubs. Three shrub species—the legume Leucaena leucocephala (Lam.) non-legumes Guazuma ulmifo...

This study evaluated the effectiveness of dry Moringa oleifera leaf powder in the management of anaemia in adult albino rats. The proximate, mineral, vitamin and phytochemical composition of dry M. oleifera leaf powder were analysed. Twelve adult albino rats grouped into three were used. Cyclophosphamide was used to induce anaemia into them. The percentage proximate values were protein (26.28%)...
