Charles D. Kochakian has had a long and distinguished career in the field of endocrine physiology. His most important work concerned the anabolic actions of steroids. While still a graduate student, Kochakian showed that the anabolic effects of male hormones could be quantitated by measuring the changes they caused in urinary nitrogen balance. He subsequently showed that this anabolic effect wa...

The mol-ecule of the title compound, C15H18N4, adopts a trans conformation with respect to the diazo N=N bond. The dihedral angle between the benzene and pyridine rings in the mol-ecule is 8.03 (5)°. In the crystal, a weak C-H⋯π inter-action arranges the mol-ecules into a corrugated ribbon, with an anti-parallel orientation of neighboring mol-ecules propagating in the [100] direction.

Objective: The present study was conducted to investigate the hepatoprotective activity of hydro-ethanolic fruit extract of Rosa canina (R. canina) against carbon tetrachloride (CCl4)-induced hepatotoxicity in rats. Methods: Male Wistar albino rats were randomly divided into six groups of 8 animals of each, including control, toxic (CCl4), R. canina 250, 500, and 750 mg/kg + CCl4 and R. canina ...

The percentage yield of Talinum triangulare was found to be 4.84%. The preliminary phytochemical screening of plant extract revealed the presence of alkaloids and flavonoids in larger amounts while saponins, tannins, resins, steroids and glycosides were in lower amounts. The administration of methanol extract of Talinum triangulare at 100, 200 and 400/kg b.w had no effect on the level of alanin...

Penitrem A (PA) is a food mycotoxin produced by several terrestrial and few marine Penicillium species. PA is a potent tremorgen through selective antagonism of the calcium-dependent potassium BK (Maxi-K) channels. Discovery of natural products that can prevent the toxic effects of PA is important for food safety. Astaxanthin (AST) is a marine natural xanthophyll carotenoid with documented anti...

Purpose: To investigate the potential activity of Bombyx mori and its formulations against isoproterenol (ISO) induced cardiotoxicity. Methods: Wistar rats were orally pretreated with the ethanol extract of Bombyx mori cocoons in two doses (250 and 500 mg/kg) for 30 days; rats were similarly pretreated with its polyherbal formulations incorporating Khamira Abresham sada (KAS) and Khamira Abresh...
