The renal protective effect of the aqueous extract of Sesbania sesban leaves (250 and 500 mg/kg/day) in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats were studied. Diabetic rats showed severe hyperglycemia with marked increase in proteinuria and albuminuria. Thye aqueous extract reduced proteinuria, albuminuria, lipid and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) deposition in diabetic rats. Histopathology studies on...

It is becoming increasingly popular to manage agricultural wastes in an environmentally friendly manner and take advantage of this waste by manufacturing a product with good properties high carbon percentage then using it as substitute for variety materials fillers several industrial environmental applications. This process has become awareness issues grown. study aimed characterize evaluate th...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Plastic responses to stress in components of reproduction can have important effects on plant fitness and can vary both within and between species. Responses may also depend on when in the life cycle stress occurs. Here, it is predicted that the timing of initiation of a stress, defoliation, would affect the pattern of plastic responses. These differences should occur becaus...

A Rhizobium strain isolated from stem nodules of the legume Sesbania rostrata was shown to grow on atmospheric nitrogen (N(2)) as the sole nitrogen source. Non-N(2)-fixing mutants isolated directly on agar plates formed nodules that did not fix N(2) when inoculated into the host plant.

Seed oils of Passiflora edulis, Jatropa curucas, Tinospora cordifolia, Sesbania grandiflora and Sapindus laurifolia were investigated for their antihelmintic property against Pheritima pasthuma. Three concentrations (10, 50 and 100 mg/ml) of each oil were studied in the bioassay, which involved the determination of time of paralysis and time of death of the worm. Sesbania grandiflora showed the...

the aqueous leaves extract of sesbania sesban (l) merr. (family: fabaceae) was evaluated for its antidiabetic potential on normal and streptozotocin (stz)-induced diabetic rats. in the chronic model, the aqueous extract was administered to normal and stz- induced diabetic rats at the doses of 250 and 500 mg/kg body weight (b.w.) p.o. per day for 30 days. the fasting blood glucose levels (bgl), ...

Calcium (Ca) and the toxic heavy metal cadmium (Cd) are antagonistic ions competing for uptake in plants when they co-occur in soil solutions, and high Ca concentrations can reduce the uptake of Cd in plants. However, less is known about the effects of low Ca bioavailability on Cd uptake and translocation in plants. We hypothesized that low Ca availability would enhance Cd uptake and translocat...
