Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractINDUCES OF ANTIOXIDANT COMPOUNDS AND SALT TOLERANCE IN WHEAT PLANT, IRRIGATED WITH SEAWATER AS RESPONSE TO APPLICATION OF MICROALGAE SPRAYHanaa H. Abd El Baky, M. M. Hussein, Gamal S. El-BarotyWheat plants (Triticum aestivum L., cv. Giza 168) irrigated with either 10 or 20% of Seawater (SW) were treated with aqueous extracts of green microalgae Scenedesmus obliquus and blue green algae Spirulina platensis (AESO and AESP 20 g (dry weight)/L) in order to increase wheat salt tolerance. Treated plants showed higher ability to tolerate salt stress (10 or 20% SW) … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 7 Jan 2014 · 7,591 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHYPOGLYCEMIC, HEPATO-RENAL AND ANTIOXIDANT POTENTIAL EFFECTS OF CHAMOMILE RECUTITA FLOWERS ETHANOLIC EXTRACT IN STREPTOZOTOCIN-DIABETIC RATSHassan Al-Musa, Fahaid AL-HashemThis study was undertaken to evaluate the hypoglycemic and hepatorenal protective effect of ethanolic extract of Chamomile recutita flowers in streptozotocin-Diabetic Rats. Before the beginning of the experiments, acute and subacute studies were carried out in control animals first to investigate the LD50 of this extract. In the experimental design, adult male albino rats were divided into five groups: (1) … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 9 Dec 2013 · 8,151 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPotential of Industrial Waste Water Use for Jatropha Cultivation in Arid LandHanaa Hussein Abd El Baky, Mohamed Moursy Hussein, Eman Ahamed IbrahemA pot experiment was conducted in the greenhouse of the National Research Center, Dokki, Cairo, Egypt to investigate the effect of NKP foliar fertilizer and irrigation by Industrial Drainage Water (IDW) on Lipid Peroxidation (LP) and antioxidant enzyme activities [Catalase (CAT), Suproxide Desmatase (SOD) and Ascorbate Peroxidas (APX)] of jatropha plants. Plants fertilized with NPK fertilizers (N0g+P0g+K0g, N3g+P3g+K3g and N6g+P6g+k6g/pot) … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 13 Nov 2013 · 7,472 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPhytochemical and Pharmacological Evaluation of Selected PlantsSneh Verma, Tandra Mohanta, T. Revathy et al.Araucaria cookii, Bauhinia blakeana and Brassaia actinophylla are ornamental plants. The presence of various phytochemicals and pharmacologically important compounds in these plants can be exploited for their medicinal use. But there are no reports on the phytochemical and pharmacological evaluation of these plants and this study aims at investigating these. The plant extracts were prepared in different solvents like methanol, … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 21 Sep 2013 · 8,217 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIn Vivo Neutralization of Naja nigricollis Venom by Uvaria chamaeOmale James, Ebiloma Unekwuojo Godwin, Idoko Grace OtiniUvaria chamae is a well known medicinal plant in Nigerian traditional medicine for the management of many diseases, but investigations concerning its pharmacological characteristics are rare. In this study, we evaluate its venom neutralizing properties against Naja nigricollis venom in rats. Freshly collected Uvaria chamae leaves were air dried, powdered and extracted in methanol. To study the antivenom properties, albino … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 21 Sep 2013 · 8,421 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAroclor 1254 Toxicity to Mice Liver Membrane AtpasesShweta Pathak, Rahul KunduPresent communication reports the sub-acute dose and exposure duration dependent effects of Aroclor 1254 on total, Na+, K+, Ca++ and Mg++-ATPases of the mouse liver cells. The study tests two hypotheses, (a) whether the sublethal dose or the exposure duration dependent in vivo exposure of hydrophobic PCB (Aroclor 1254) affects the hydrophilic membrane-bound ion dependent ATPases of the liver cells … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 13 Jul 2013 · 6,791 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComparative Physiological and Molecular Study of Some Sheep Breeds in Saudi ArabiaMohammad S. AL-Harbi, Hamed S. Alwagdany, Sayed A.M. AmerNaemi, Heri, Najdi and Sawakni sheep breeds inhabiting Kingdom of Saudi Arabia were studied on both physiological and molecular bases. Native polyacrylamide gel-electrophoreses for two enzymes Malate Dehydrogenase (Mdh) and Malic Enzyme (Me) recorded 5 isoenzyme loci from which 4 were polymorphic and 1 was monomorphic. Mdh showed three fractions, the first was recorded in Sawakni and Najdi breeds, the … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 20 Jun 2013 · 8,388 accessesView PDFCite
