Fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum) typically called Methi is an annual herb belonging to own circle of relatives Fabaceae. It decreases the bad cholesterol stage reduces frame weight through lowering plasma triglycerides tri glycerides. thought have hypocholesterolemic, antioxidant potency, digestive stimulant movement, and hepatoprotective effect. anticarcinogenic, antioxidant, antibacteria...

Spatial heterogeneity in the strength or agents of selection can lead to geographic variation in ecologically important phenotypes. Many dendrobatid frogs sequester alkaloid toxins from their diets and often exhibit fixed mutations at NaV1.4, a voltage-gated sodium ion channel associated with alkaloid toxin resistance. Yet previous studies have noted an absence of resistance mutations in indivi...

Males of the moth Cosmosoma myrodora (Arctiidae) acquire pyrrolizidine alkaloid by feeding on the excrescent fluids of certain plants (for instance, Eupatorium capillifolium). They incorporate the alkaloid systemically and as a result are protected against spiders. The males have a pair of abdominal pouches, densely packed with fine cuticular filaments, which in alkaloid-fed males are alkaloid ...

objective: osseous defects around dental implants are often seen when implants are placed in areas with inadequate alveolar bone, or around failing implants. bone regeneration in these areas using bone grafts or its substitutes may improve dental implants prognosis. the aim of this study was to prepare and characterize the bioactive glass nanopowder and development of its coating for treatment ...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Previous measurements of conifer alkaloids have revealed significant variation attributable to many sources, environmental and genetic. The present study takes a complementary and intensive, common garden approach to examine genetic variation in Pinus ponderosa var. ponderosa alkaloid production. Additionally, this study investigates the potential trade-off between seedling ...

Transcription factors of the basic Helix-Loop-Helix (bHLH) family play a central role in cell proliferation, determination, and differentiation. In plants, the regulatory functions of bHLHs in phenylpropanoid biosynthesis have been well established with regard to other interacting-proteins; i.e., MYB and WD40 repeat proteins. On the other hand, those in alkaloid biosynthesis are greatly limited...

Obesity is a metabolic disorder disease and excessive fat accumulation. Synthetic antiobesity (antihyperlipidemic) drugs are considered to cause some side effects. Therefore, the investigation of novel agents, with less adverse effects, major challenge in future research, such as from plant extracts. Thus, this research aimed investigate antihyperlipidemic purified polyphenol water lettuce (Pis...

Addition of biotin to culture medium NL-406 significantly increased alkaloid yield during submerged cultivation of Claviceps sp. strain SD-58. Alkaloid yield was further enhanced by incorporating leucine in biotin-supplemented culture medium. Increased alkaloid production was associated with an increase in the lipid content of cells and in the number of chlamydospores. Biotin deficiency caused ...
