Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleGastroprotective Effects of Melastoma malabathricum Aqueous Leaf Extract against Ethanol-Induced Gastric Ulcer Iin RatsFouad Hussain, Mahmood Ameen Abdulla, Suzita Mohd Noor et al.The gastro-protective effects of the aqueous leaf extract of Melastoma malabathricum was investigated against ethanol-induced gastric mucosal injuries in rats. There were four groups of adult sprague dawley rats, consisting of six rats per group. Macroscopically, oral administration of absolute ethanol to rats that had been pre-treated with only distilled water significantly produced extensive lesions of the gastric mucosa. Oral … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2008 · 7,780 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLeaves Calorific Values of Selected Species in Burnt Tropical Peat Swamp Forest in Selangor, MalaysiaGerald Ulok, Ahmad Ainuddin Nuruddin, Rusea Go, Paridah Md TahirForest fire in Malaysia’s peat swamp forest is a major concern since it is contributing to the country’s haze episode. Forest fire in peat areas is difficult to be extinguished and may occur for days. Understanding fuel characteristics is the key to develop effective fuel management in peat swamp forest. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the common … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 2 · 6 Mar 2016 · 7,622 accessesView PDF Cite
