<p><em>Plants are a source of chemical compounds, both compounds resulting from primary metabolism or called metabolites such as carbohydrates, proteins and fats which used by the plant itself for its growth, well secondary alkaloids, flavanoids, steroids/terpenoids, saponins tannins. The design this study was experimental laboratory, in morphological, anatomical, organoleptic exami...

This study represents the first published data on antimicrobial susceptibility of Asian isolates of Lawsonia intracellularis. We assessed MICs of 16 antimicrobials for two isolates of L. intracellularis recovered from diseased pigs in South Korea, one from a finisher pig with acute proliferative hemorrhagic enteropathy in 2002 and the other from a grower pig with porcine intestinal adenomatosis...

Methods: A total of 312 commercial crossbred pigs at two sites were randomly assigned to receive lincomycin in feed at either 44 or 110 ppm, or no treatment. On 2 consecutive days, each pig was inoculated orally with Lawsonia intracellularis in the form of porcine intestinal mucosal homogenate. Animals were observed until clinical signs of disease were seen, then pigs assigned to treatment grou...

Proliferative enteropathy (PE) is an enteric disease that occurs in pigs1 and a number of other species.2 The etiologic agent of PE in swine is the obligatory intracellular bacterium Lawsonia intracellularis.3–6 The disease in pigs, commonly referred to as ileitis, occurs in two major clinical forms. Acute hemorrhagic diarrhea and sudden death of replacement animals and finishing pigs close to ...

Wound healing potential of different extracts of henna leaves i.e. Lawsonia inermis Linn. was evaluated on the rat excision and incision wound models. Lawsone isolated from the leaves was also screened for same pharmacological activity.It was observed that the oral administration as well as topical application of ethanol extract of henna leaves and lawsone exhibited significanthealing response ...

To investigate whether differential herbivore browsing reflects genetic variation in plant defense expression, variation in needle terpenes and damage caused by black-tailed deer (Odocoileus hemionus) was analyzed on yellow-cedar (Chamaecyparis nootkatensis) and western redcedar (Thuja plicata). In a 100-genet yellow-cedar population, three genets that were heavily browsed and had extremely low...

In the course of studies on biological active constituents from woody plants, we previously reported the isolation of many lignan derivatives as neurite outgrowth-promoting compounds from an ethyl acetate soluble fraction of Japanese Cypress (Chamaecyparis obtusa). Further chemical investigation on the residual parts of the ethyl acetate soluble fraction of a methanol extract of Japanese Cypres...

Residual dipolar couplings provide significant structural information for proteins in the solution state, which makes them attractive for the rapid determination of protein folds. Unfortunately, dipolar couplings contain inherent structural ambiguities which make them difficult to use in the absence of additional information. In this paper, we describe an approach to the construction of protein...
