The objective of this study was to quantify the effects of protection on herbaceous species composition, total plant cover, dry matter, plant density, floristic richness and diversity. Characteristics of vegetation under continued grazing and protected area for 10 and 65 years were examined in a degraded arid environment in South Tunisia. Our results show that protection enhances significantly ...

Monoamine oxidase (MAO) catalyzes the oxidative deamination of amines and neurotransmitters and is involved in mood disorders, depression, oxidative stress, and adverse pharmacological reactions. This work studies the inhibition of human MAO-A by Hypericum perforatum, Peganum harmala, and Lepidium meyenii, which are reported to improve and affect mood and mental conditions. Subsequently, the an...

While screening of selected herds of cattle (each having minimum 15 animals), 28 animals were found positive for tropical theileriosis (Theileria annulata) from a total of 260. The overall bi-monthly incidence rate was 10.8% from April-July, 2011 in Faisalabad. 89.3% and 10.71% in females and males respectively. To check breed wise prevalence, 4 out of all 28 positive animals were of Red Sindhi...

Many aldehydes are important components of natural flavours. They are used in food, cosmetic, and biomedical industries in large amounts. Plant cells or microorganisms carry out their production by biotransformation, which is one of the biotechnological methods that allow them to be defined as 'natural'. Cell cultures of Silybum marianum and Peganum harmala have been studied with a view to in...

the effects of hydroalcoholic extract of peganum harmala seeds (eps) on spontaneous rhythmic contractions of isolated rat uterine was investigated in this study. eps was tested on the isolated uterus and endometrium free (i.e. stripped myometrium) preparations. eps was found to exhibit significant spontaneous contractions of the uterus and stripped myometrium relative to the solvent control. af...

abstract: peganum harmala l. (zygophylaceae) has been used in a variety of practical applications in medical science. our objective in the current study was to determine the effects of the seed extract on herpes simplex virus type 1 (hsv-1) replication in vero cells. different concentrations (100, 500, 571, 667, 800 and 1000 µg/ml) of the extract were examined. experiments were carried out usin...

conclusions according to the current study results, it may be concluded that ethanol extract of p. harmala is efficient in the treatment of cutaneous leishmaniasis, and the efficiency is comparable with that of glucantime. results the results showed that ethanol extract of p. harmala had good therapeutic efficacy in treatment of lesions in mice (p < 0.05), and the efficacy was significant in th...
