OBJECTIVE Oxygen free radicals may be implicated in the pathogenesis of ischemia reperfusion damage. The beneficial effects of antioxidant nutrients, as well as complex plant extracts, on cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injuries are well known. This study was conducted to determine the effects of the hydro-alcoholic root extract of Withania coagulans on CA1 hippocampus oxidative damages following...

The present study was aimed to document detailed ethnopharmacological knowledge of medicinal plants against livestock infections of an unexplored remote region of Pakistan. Semistructured questionnaires were used for data collection. Total 43 plants belonging to 26 families were found to be used in ethnoveterinary practices. Seeds (29%) were found to be the most frequent plant part used followe...

The current study aimed to determine the mitigating effect of citric acid (CA) on various physiological and biochemical attributes in Withania coagulans, exposed copper (Cu) stress. viable seeds coagulans were planted a controlled environment. After reaching four-leaf stage, plants given simultaneous treatment with two concentrations Cu [TCu1 TCu2 (10mM, 15mM)] alone and/or CA [TCa1 TCa2 (05mM,...

The two species of Withania i.e. Withania obtusifolia and Withania somnifera were usually misinterpreted because of their coexistence in mixed populations. The present investigation involves analyzed of interspecific relationship between these two species. A careful morphological, anatomic and phytochemical, identification of the two species has led to the findings that there was a slight varia...

conclusions w. coagulans inhibits the development of bph can be useful for the treatment of this condition. results the present study revealed that bph caused elevation of mda levels, suppression of tac levels, and increased pcna expression in the prostate gland. interestingly, in a dose-dependent manner, wce caused decreased mda levels and increased tac levels in the prostate gland, compared t...

ObjectiveThe present work represents the green synthesis of silver nanoparticles using Withania coagulans extract and its antibacterial property. The synergy, additive, bacteriostatic and bactericidal effect of silver nanoparticles was determined against Enterococcus faecalis, Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Proteus vulgaris, Salmonella typhi, and Vibrio cholerae. Methods <...

an experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of fruit hydroalcoholic extract of withania coagulans (wc) and 1, 25-dihydroxycholecalciferol on bone mechanical and histological properties of male chickens. diets were arranged factorially (2×3×2) consisted of a positive control with adequate ca (10.4 g/kg diet) and nonphytate p (npp; 5 g/kg diet) exceed the requirements suggested in the ...
