To gain insight into the hepatohistological alterations in noninjured rat liver, Nerium oleander (N.O.) leaves extract was injected intramuscularly to induce an acute phase reaction (APR). Histopathological changes were studied after 3, 12, and 24 h time course of sterile muscle abscess. Tissue integrity and any infiltration of inflammatory cells in the liver were investigated by Hematoxylin an...

A field survey was carried out to record plant species climbed by Ephedra alte in certain parts of Jordan during 2008-2010. Forty species of shrubs, ornamental, fruit, and forest trees belonging to 24 plant families suffered from the climbing habit of E. alte. Growth of host plants was adversely affected by E. alte growth that extended over their vegetation. In addition to its possible competit...

Fungal diseases have always been a major problem for tomato crops. Growers generally use chemical fungicides to treat this type of diseases. However, these products are toxic the environment and consumer, especially if pre-harvest interval is not respected. The present study aims find non-polluting alternatives. Five plant extracts ( Peganum harmala, Ocimum basilicum, Caralluma europaea, Nerium...

Various serum proteins are synthesized in the liver. Their serum levels may reduce or elevate due to liver disorders. Thioacetamide (TAA) is a powerful hepatotoxicant, multiple protein systems have been revealed to be injured, counting those present in the mitochondrial respiration, endoplasmic reticulum, and stress response proteins. The study was conducted to evaluate the hepatoprotective pot...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the molluscicidal activities of three Chinese plants N. indicum Mill, R stenoptera DC, and R. japonicum Houtt, and to clarify the molluscicidal mechanism. METHODS N-butanol extracts and water extracts of the three plants were obtained. The reactions of EST isozyme, glycogen and total protein of snails to the plant extracts were studied. RESULTS EST electrophoresis show...
