To Substantiate the claims of Ayurvedic classics, animal experimentation with modern technology has been carried out in this paper. Various methods have been described for induction diabetes Mellitus or any other disease. Now it is the duty of an Ayurvedist to select the suitable method on the guidelines of Ayurvedic aetiology to produce a condition stimulating to Prameha (Madhumeha) and the be...

A new enzymic method is described for the determination of creatine in urine by continuous-flow analysis. The measurement is accomplished by transforming creatine to formaldehyde in reactions catalyzed by creatinase (creatine amidinohydrolase) and sarcosine dehydrogenase. The formaldehyde is reacted with 4-amino-3-hydrazino-5-mercapto-1,2,4-triazole to form a purple product, which is measured c...

We describe a reversed-phase HPLC method that uses gradient elution and diode array detection to determine four biologically active phenolic constituents of red wines: gallic acid, trans-resveratrol, quercetin and rutin. The method permits direct injection without sample pre-treatment. ODS Hypersil served as the stationary phase; the gradient was formed by acetic acid, methanol, and water. Each...

Cereals are an important part of diets for hypercholesterolemic patients. The scientists at Faculty of Veterinary Medicine and Faculty of Human Nutrition at Warsaw and others at Israel evaluated Oat and Amaranth meals effect on plasma lipid profile in rats fed cholesterolcontaining diets. The purpose of the study was to compare oatmeal (Avena sativa Linn.) with two samples of amaranth (Amaranth...

Four different methods were evaluated for the determination of the creatinine content of a seriesof 24-hour urine samples. The results indicate that the methods of Folin, Hare, and Van Pilsum give essentially the same values. The precision of the method of Sullivan and Irreverre was extremely poor and the values obtained were 2-8 times higher than those obtained by the other technics. The compo...

Mosses contain active constituents that exhibit various biological activities. This study provides additional information on the potentials of mosses as natural sources of biologically active compounds that can be used as medicines. The antioxidant potential of Bryum billardieri Schwaegr. (Bryaceae) is herein studied by analyzing its total phenol content and its radical scavenging activity. Eth...

Nowadays, there is a high demand in many industrial countries for healthy foods and sustainable products so to explore innovative food technologies, such as fortification with bioactive compounds antioxidants polyphenols, that may be sourced from herbs or by-products. This study’s objective was the of refined olive oils natural rosemary (Rosmarinus officinallis, L.), basil (Ocimum basillicum, s...
