The aim of the study was to investigate the Aloe vera phyto chemical compounds and antimicrobial activity of different extracts. The phytochemical compound screened by qualitative and GC-MS method. Qualitatively analyzed Tannin, Saponin, Flavonoids and Terpenoids gave positive results and phlobactanins and Steriods and Steriods gave negative results. In the GC-MS analysis, 26 bioactive phyteche...

Diacylglycerol lipase activity has been demonstrated in human fetal membranes and decidua vera tissues. The specific activity of the enzyme is highest in the microsomal fraction of decidua vera tissue. The acylester bond at the sn-1 position of 1,2-diacyl-sn-glycerol is hydrolyzed followed by release of the fatty acid at the sn-2 position. The diacylglycerol lipase activity present in the micro...

This study evaluated the diffusion through the dentinal tubules of hydroxyl ions from different calcium hydroxide (CH) pastes containing Aloe vera. Sixty single-rooted bovine teeth were used. The tooth crowns were removed, the root canals were instrumented and the specimens were assigned to 4 groups (n=15) according to the intracanal medication: Group CH/S - CH powder and saline paste; Group CH...

Localized mRNAs are directed to their destinations by "localization elements" (LEs) in their 3'UTRs. LEs harbor multiple, functionally redundant localization "signals." These signals are poorly defined, hence it is unclear whether the signals-and their cognate factors-are unique to each RNA or employed generally. Five "E2s" (UUCACs) in the 366 nt Vg1 LE (VgLE) direct this transcript to the vege...

This research was aimed to investigate anti-inflammatory effects of Aloe vera on leukocyte-endothelium in the gastric microcirculation of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori)-infected rats. Thirty-six male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into 3 groups: control, H. pylori-infected, and A. vera-treated group (200 mg/kg b.w., twice daily). H. pylori-inoculation was induced in the rats by the administr...
