This study was designed in order to correlate the flavonoid and lipoidal matters content of Spinach roots and flowers to their hypolipidemic potential. The total flavonoid content was measured via complexation with aluminum chloride while determination of fatty acids methyl esters and unsaponifiable matters contents in both organs was performed using GC/MS. In an in vitro study, the crude etha...

mefloquine (mfq), as a racemic mixture is used for the prophylaxis and treatment of malaria. stereoselective pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic differences have been observed for mfq. in the present study, the human blood was spiked with racemic mfq. the concentration of mfq enantiomers in various blood fractions including packed erythrocyte layer, platelet rich plasma and platelet poor plasma...

The efficiency of soil organic carbon (SOC) sequestration as a suitable negative emission technology depends mainly on plant-derived input and its allocation to stabilised SOC pools. These processes may be affected by fertiliser use type. purpose this study was investigate the effect (poultry manure compost), mineral (rock phosphate) their mixture (OC) transfer from plant soil. We studied OC pr...

To test direct and indirect effects of glomalin, mycorrhizal hyphae, and roots on aggregate stability, perspex pots separated by 37-μm nylon mesh in the middle were used to form root-free hyphae and root/hyphae chambers, where trifoliate orange (Poncirus trifoliata) seedlings were colonized by Funneliformis mosseae or Paraglomus occultum in the root/hyphae chamber. Both fungal species induced s...

BACKGROUND Microbial infections and resulting inflammation and oxidative stress are common pathogenesis of gastrointestinal tract (GIT) disorders. In South Africa, several species of the genus Maytenus are used in traditional medicine to treat various infectious diseases. Most of the previous work on this genus was focused on nonpolar extracts from the root and bark. In this study, leaf extract...
