Re-epithelialization and wound healing effect of aqueous extract of Tetrapleura tetraptera on extensive full thickness skin wound was studied in rabbits. The extract of Tetrapleura tetraptera was used in dressing cutaneous wounds. On day two, fibrin and fibronectin cross-linked together and formed a plug which trapped proteins and prevented further blood loss. Dressing of wound commenced on the...

OBJECTIVE The objective of the present study was to evaluate the in vivo wound healing effect of water extract of Tetrapleura tetraptera in stem-bark. MATERIALS AND METHODS The healing activity was studied in 40 male rats using excision and incision wounds on normal and dexamethasone-suppressed wound healing. For each model, rats were divided in four groups as follows: control, dexamethasone,...

The aim of the present study was to investigate the antioxidant activity and protective potential of T. tetraptera extracts against ion toxicity. The antioxidant activity of the extracts was investigated spectrophotometrically against several radicals (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH(•)), 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS(•)), hydroxyl radical (HO(•)), and nitric o...

Antioxidants present in natural sources help to scavenge free radicals and thus provide health benefits. This study reports in vitro radical scavenging and antioxidant capacity of crude methanol and ethanol-water extracts of the fruits of Tetrapleura tetraptera and Parkia biglobosa. Total phenolic contents in Tetrapleura tetraptera were 147.82±1.36 and 130.33±1.04 mg GAE/g dry weight while that...

Mites of 3 genera-Myobia, Myocoptes, and Radfordia -continue to plague laboratory mouse facilities, even with use of stringent biosecurity measures. Mites often spread before diagnosis, predominantly because of detection difficulty. Current detection methods have suboptimal sensitivity, are time-consuming, and are costly. A sensitive serodiagnostic technique would facilitate detection and ease ...

Parasitic nematode worms (Aspicularis tetraptera) were observed microscopically in histological sections of the colons of C57BL/6StCrl female mice. These nematodes have gram-positive bacteria intimately associated with the mucosal epithelium in their alimentary tract.

BORKOVCOVÁ, M.: Parasitocenoses in productional rodent breeds in Czech Republic. Acta univ. agric. et silvic. Mendel. Brun., 2009, LVII, No. 1, pp. 27–34 Aim of this work was to monitor the occurrence of most common parasites of rodents in 13 commercial and hobby breeds. Most o en detected protozoans belonged to genera Giardia, Eimeria and Cryptosporidium, tapeworms Hymenolepis nana and H. dimi...

Sixteen microsatellite loci isolated from Halesia tetraptera are described. All 16 are polymorphic, with four to 13 alleles across 15–19 members of a single half-sib family. Heterozygosity ranged from 0.067 to 1. One locus departs significantly from Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium in our test family. The test population shows significant heterozygote deficiency at this and two other loci. Thirteen l...
