OBJECTIVE Kallmann syndrome (KS) is a genetic disorder with the distinctive features of hyposmia or anosmia and hypogonadotropic hypogonadism. Though hyposmia/anosmia can be evaluated by both objective and subjective smell tests, there is no study comparing these two methods in KS. The aim of the present case series was to discuss the results of objective and subjective smell tests and compare ...

Effect of some plant extracts against damping-off disease of some winter vegetable was studied in the net house. Seed treatment with neem leaf, garlic clove, allamonda leaf, ginger rhizome, kalijira seed, bel leaf, turmeric rhizome, katamehedi leaf and onion bulb were evaluated against damping-off, seed germination and growth characters of tomato, eggplant and chilli seedlings. All the treatmen...

In this paper, antibacterial activities of zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles synthesized through green method using garlic bulb (Allium sativum), ginger (Zingiber officinale) extracts, and their mixture are reported. The ZnO NPs were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), ultraviolet visible (UV–vis), photoluminescence (PL), spectroscopy Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. crystalli...

BACKGROUND: Sickle cell anemia is one of the most prevalent hereditary disorders with prominent morbidity and mortality. With this disorder oxidative, phenomena play a significant role in its pathophysiology. One of the garlic (Allium sativum L.) formulations, aged garlic extract (AGE), has been reported to exert an anti-oxidant effect in vitro, we have evaluated the anti-oxidant effect of AGE ...

In this study, we investigated the hepatoprotective effects of aged black garlic (ABG) in rodent models of liver injury. ABG inhibited carbon tetrachloride-induced elevation of aspartate transaminase (AST) and alanine transaminase (ALT), which are markers of hepatocellular damage, in SD rats. D-galactosamineinduced hepatocellular damage was also suppressed by ABG treatment. However, ABG does no...

OBJECTIVE Cinnamomum cassia has been suggested in Ayurveda for the management of sexual dysfunction. This research work was conducted to shed some light on the mechanism of action of the extract, and evaluate the efficacy of its methanol extract in age induced sexual dysfunction in male Wistar rats. Secondary objective of the project was to study the effect of treatment on sperm parameters and ...
