Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPeriodic Validation of High Antidiabetic Potentials of Unripe Plantain in Comparison with Glibenclamide and FansidarE. O. Jimmy, M. A. OkonProblem statement: The antidiabetic potentials of aqueous extract of musa paradisciaca (unripe plantain fruit) were investigated in alloxan induced diabetic rats. The extract at a dosage of 120 mg kg-1 produced a significant (p<0.001) reduction in glucose level by 85% on day 7, 78% on day 14, 64% on day 21 and 44% on day 28. Approach: The extract at … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 22 Mar 2012 · 7,997 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Use of Silver Vine (Actinidia Polygama Maxim, Family Actinidiaceae) as an Enrichment Aid for Felines: Issues and ProspectsCharles I. Abramson, Angela Lay, Timothy J. Bowser, Christopher A. VarnonProblem statement: This study highlights the potential of using silver vine as an enrichment additive for felines. Approach: A literature review was conducted on the use of silver vine since 1973. The articles were categorized into studies concerned with behavior, biological effects, beneficial uses, plant and chemical studies. Results: We found surprisingly few studies that utilized silver vine. There were … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 10 Mar 2012 · 18,942 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBiocontrol of Soil Fungi in Tomato with Microencapsulates Containing Bacillus subtilisMarcela Hernàndez-Suàrez, Francisco Daniel Hernàndez-Castillo, Gabriel Gallegos-Morales et al.Problem Statement: An option to reduce pollution by synthetic agro-chemical in root plant disease management is the use of antagonist rhizobacteria belonging to Bacillus genus, because their inhibitory properties, stimulation of plant growth and crop yield increase. Approach: This study was carried out in order to evaluate if Bacillus subtilis strains could play an antagonists role of plant pathogens and … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 6 Jun 2011 · 8,925 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Maturity Stage of Papaya Maradol on Physiological and Biochemical ParametersLaura E. Gayosso-García Sancho, Elhadi M. Yahia, Miguel Angel Martínez-Téllez, Gustavo Adolfo González-AguilarProblem statement: Nowadays, the worldwide increase in diseases has motivated consumers to increase the intake of fruits and vegetables, in response to various research reports indicating that fruits and vegetables can help prevent certain types of illnesses, due to their potentially high antioxidant properties. We evaluated the effect of the stage of ripeness of papaya fruit (Carica papaya L.) on … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 11,266 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCharacterization of Bio-Oil: A By-Product from Slow Pyrolysis of Oil Palm Empty Fruit BunchesK. H. Khor, K. O. Lim, Z. A. ZainalProblem statement: Oil palm Empty Fruit Bunches (EFB) are abundant biomass in Malaysia. Studies about production of biofuels using slow pyrolysis of EFB are still lacking. So, this study was aimed to understand the physical and chemical properties of the bio-oil and its simple blends. Approach: EFB was slow pyrolysed with internal heating at terminal temperature of 600°C in a … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2009 · 8,016 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOil Palm Biomass As Potential Substitution Raw Materials For Commercial Biomass Briquettes ProductionA.B. Nasrin, A.N. Ma, Y.M. Choo et al.Palm oil industry generates vast amount of palm biomass. Converting palm biomass into a uniform and solid fuel through briquetting process appears to be an attractive solution in upgrading its properties and add value. In this study, raw materials including empty fruit bunch (EFB), in powder and fibre forms, palm kernel expeller (PKE) and sawdust were densified into briquettes at … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2008 · 9,472 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordAntioxidant Properties and Dose-Dependent Effects of Monkey Fruits (Artocarpus lakoocha) against Paracetamol-Induced Hepato-Renal Toxicity in RatsMd. Yousuf Ali, Md. Reaz Morshed, Md. Sakib Hossen et al.In this study, the antioxidant potentials and protective effect of ethanolic extract of monkey fruits (Artocarpus lakoocha) (AL) was investigated against paracetamol-induced toxicity in rats. AL which contains high concentration of polyphenols, flavonoids, tannins and protein, exhibited high radical scavenging activity and ferric reducing antioxidant power. Administration of paracetamol (500 mg/kg) for seven consecutive days caused severe oxidative stress in … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 13, Issue 1 · 26 Nov 2018 · 8,337 accessesView PDFCite
