Arum palaestinum has a wide use in traditional medicine. It used in folk medicine as a remedy for treatment of post-delivery pain, inflammation, and internal infections. The analgesic activity of the methanolic extract of Arum palaestinum was evaluated using various experimental models in mice and rats. Antinociceptive effect of methanolic extract of Arum palaestinum was carried out both periph...

Learning gain in higher education (HE) has risen to international prominence through US sociologists Richard Arum and Josipa Roksa’s Academically Adrift, published in 2011. It has become a benchmark study and key reference point for current research and policy thinking in the field. This briefing summarises Arum and Roksa’s findings based on their research in the USA. It details their conclusio...

The Solomon's lily arum mimics the odours of yeast to attract drosophilid flies as unrewarded pollinators.

The activity of pyrophosphate:fructose-6-phosphate 1-phosphotransferase [PFK (PPi); EC 2.7.1.90] in extracts of the storage tissues of leek (Allium porrum), beetroot (Beta vulgaris) and roots of darnel (Lolium temulentum) exceeded 0.15 mumol/min per g fresh wt. As net flux from fructose 1,6-bisphosphate to fructose 6-phosphate in these tissues is unlikely, it is suggested that PFK (PPi) does no...

Spinacia oleracea, Arum maculatum, Alanine: Aldehyde Aminotransferase, Amine-Biosynthesis, Subcellular Localization, Mitochondria L-Alanine: aldehyde aminotransferase occurs ubiquitously in higher plants. The enzyme catalyzes the reaction: L-alanine + monoaldehyde -> monoamine + pyruvate; it is responsible for the formation of aliphatic plant amines and involved in the biosynthesis of hemlock a...

In literature, there is few reports available about Arum palaestinum effects on liver integrity. So, this study was aimed to investigate the histopathological and biochemical effects of ethanolic leave extract of Arum palaestinum on the liver of albino rats. Fifteen female adult rats were randomly divided into three groups. Group 1(control group), group 2 and 3 received daily dose of 250 and 50...

Treatment with Arum maculatum extract remarkably lowered the mitotic index in bone marrow cells of Swiss male mice at all of the exposure times and in almost all concentrations studied compared with corresponding controls. The reduction in the mitotic index revealed a mitodepressive effect of the extract on dividing bone marrow cells of mice. Following application of the lowest dose (125 mg/ml)...
