background boswellia serrata has been used in a wide variety of diseases, including diabetes mellitus and inflammatory diseases. objectives this study focused on the effects of boswellia serrata aqueous extract on blood glucose and the complications of diabetes in the liver and kidneys and examined the impact of plant on reproduction in diabetic rats. materials and methods the antioxidant capac...

Exploitation of wild relatives of crop plants to a large extent depends on the efficient use of germplasm resources available in natural habitat and the centre of diversity. The mulberry, sole food for silkworm is cultivated for the production and development of silkworm industry. Four species of mulberry viz., M. indica L., M. alba L., M. laevigata Wall., and M. serrata Roxb., are reported in ...

Temperature affects ectotherm's biological processes and plays a fundamental role in determining their geographical distribution. We elucidated the temperature adaptation of juveniles two mud crab species genus Scylla De Haan, 1833 (in 1833-1850): paramamosain Estampador, 1949 serrata (Forskål, 1775), which occur mainly temperate subtropical/tropical areas Japan, respectively. The first instar ...

Bruch’s membrane is a thin (2–4 μm), acellular, five-layered extracellular matrix located between the retina and choroid. It extends anteriorly to the ora serrata, interrupted only by the optic nerve. Tissue resembling Bruch’s membrane is visible anterior to the ora serrata extending forward to the pigmented epithelium of the ciliary body. Bruch’s membrane lies between the metabolically active ...

Effects of relative shoot height and irradiance on shoot and leaf properties of Quercus serrata Thunb. saplings growing in the understory and in gaps were investigated. Photosynthetic photon flux (PPF) at the location of the shoot relative to that in the open (relative PPF; rPPF) and the height of the shoot base relative to tree height (relative height; rHeight) were measured for all current-ye...

Bivalved euarthropods represent a conspicuous component of exceptionally-preserved fossil biotas throughout the Lower Palaeozoic. However, most of these taxa are known from isolated valves, and thus there is a limited understanding of their morphological organization and palaeoecology in the context of early animal-dominated communities. The bivalved euarthropod Clypecaris serrata sp. nov., rec...

Standard pharmacological treatment of musculoskeletal conditions is often associated with relevant side effects. Botanical preparations endowed with a good tolerability profile, therefore, could have a role in the management of these disorders. Among different natural products, Boswellia serrata extracts have long been used for the treatment of musculoskeletal disorders, given their marked anti...

The East-Asian aphid Tinocallis (Tinocallis) zelkowae is recorded for the first time in Iberian Peninsula on Zelkova serrata (Ulmaceae) Viveros Gardens of city Valencia (Spain). This second record species Europe, after being cited a Japanese zelkova bonsai England 1974. Alate viviparous females and sexuales (winged males apterous oviparae) are here described, we present molecular sequence mitoc...

BACKGROUND Type 2 diabetes is an endocrine disorder that affects a large percentage of patients. High blood glucose causes fatty deposits in the liver which is likely to increase in SGOT and SGPT activities. Significant increase in SGOT/SGPT and low HDL levels is observed in patients with diabetes. Serum fructosamine concentration reflects the degree of blood glucose control in diabetic patient...
