BACKGROUND The primary objective of the present investigation is to evaluate the antidiabetic, antihyperlidemic and antioxidant activity of the methanolic extract of the Paederia foetida Linn. (PF) leaf extract in the streptozotocin induced diabetic rats. METHODS Single intraperitoneal injection (IP) of streptozotocin (60 mg/kg body weight) was used for induction of diabetes is swiss albino (...

Humans and other organisms are adversely affected by cyanobacterial blooming. This study aims to investigate the long-term effects of light intensities different temperatures on Phormidium ambiguum Pseudanabaena foetida. Enough P. foetida cells were acclimated for 24 days at 30 °C, 20 10 °C in separate incubators. The starting day sample was collected after acclimatization, a second seven later...

Asafoetida (Ferula assa-foetida L.) is one of the endemic medicinal plants in Iran. Analysis karyomorphology and 2Cx DNA measurements (monoploid genome size) 18 Iranian Ferula populations were performed. The vitro embryo-derived root tips examined for karyological studies, via technique squash stain with 2% (w/v) aceto-orcein. Seeds samples leaves Solanum lycopersicum as standard reference (2C ...

Se determinó la eficiencia de tres sistemas depuración aguas residuales domésticas con Eisenia foetida, Eichornia crassipes e hipoclorito calcio en Moquegua. tomó una muestra representativa (afluente) y se analizaron parámetros físicos (temperatura STS), químicos (pH DBO5) microbiológicos (coliformes termotolerantes), para determinar su estado inicial. Este afluente –previo proceso pre-sediment...

ABSTRACT Mango and its wild relatives (Mangifera spp.) are essential for future mango breeding, including preservation programs, because they provide many beneficial genes (agronomic traits), particularly those related to resistance biotic abiotic stressors. However, there is a limited understanding of the genetic diversity relationships this germplasm. This study aimed determine relationship b...

Microstructures of unprocessed filamentous cyanobacterium, Pseudanabaena foetida sp., producing a musty smell were observed using soft X-ray microscopy. Carbon-enriched structures and granules as well as oxygen-enriched granules which have been already reported were observed. Except for early log growth phase, the oxygen-enriched granules were observed. However, the carbon-enriched structures w...

The responses of wheat Triticum aestivum, rice Oryza sativa, earthworms Eisenia foetida, and prawns Penaeus japonicus to combined acetochlor-Cu, Cd-Zn were studied in hydroponic and soil-culturing systems using the methods of ecotoxicology. In particular, systematically quantitative analyses were documented by field experiments. Results showed that ecotoxicological effects under the combined po...
