Weens goeie algemene gesondheid kom die adolessent dikwels nie met die gesondheidsorgstelsel in aanraking nie. Adolessente het egter baie gesondheidsvoorligtingsbehoeftes waaraan daar nie voldoen word nie. Adolessente het verskeie volwassewordingstake om te verrig en ten opsigte van hul voorligtingsbehoeftes moet die mens as geheel, asook sy omgewing, in ag geneem word. Daarom behoort voorligti...

The initial response of the IGF-I system and the expression and cellular localization of IGF type-I receptor (IGF-IR) were studied in the gill of a euryhaline teleost during salinity acclimation. Exposure of striped bass (Morone saxatilis) to hyperosmotic and hypoosmotic challenges induced small, transitory (<24 h) deflections in hydromineral balance. Transfer from freshwater (FW) to seawater (...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity of orally administered methanolic leaf extract of Dalbergia paniculata (D. paniculata) in Carrageenan induced inflammation in rats. METHODS In vitro antioxidant activity was evaluated for superoxide radical, Hydroxyl radical and DPPH radical scavenging activity. Three doses 200 mg/kg, 400 mg/kg and 800 mg/kg of D. panicul...

BACKGROUND Dalbergia sissoo DC. (Family: Fabaceae) is a medium to large deciduous tree, is locally called "shishu" in Bangladesh. It is used to treat sore throats, dysentery, syphilis, bronchitis, inflammations, infections, hernia, skin diseases, and gonorrhea. This study evaluated the antinociceptive effect of the methanol extract of D. sissoo leaves (MEDS) in mice. METHODS The extract was a...

The title compound, commonly known as (+)-(6aS,11aS)-medicarpin, C(16)H(14)O(4), was isolated from Dalbergia oliveri and displays a rigid mol-ecule consisting of four fused rings. The benzofuran system is inclined at an angle of 76.49 (2)° with respect to the chroman unit. The compound exists as a polymeric chain arising from inter-molecular O-H⋯O bonding.

The North Atlantic intertidal gastropod, Littorina saxatilis (Olivi, 1792), exhibits extreme morphological variation between and within geographic regions and has become a model for studies of local adaptation; yet a comprehensive analysis of the species' phylogeography is lacking. Here, we examine phylogeographic patterns of the species' populations in the North Atlantic and one remote Mediter...

This study evaluated, using replicated laboratory bioassays, the toxicities of the crude aqueous and ethanolic extracts of Dalbergia sissoo Roxb. 1832 (family Leguminosae) fruits, leaves, roots and stem bark against egg masses of Biomphalaria pfeifferi (Krauss, 1848), the snail intermediate host of Schistosoma mansoni (Sambon, 1907) in Nigeria. Viable 0-24 hr-old embryonated egg masses were sep...

Objective: Qualitative and quantitative determination of catechin in fruits J. communis var. saxatilis, oxycedrus subsp. oxycedrus, P. spinosa, cerasifera was analyzed by LC-MS/MS using standards. Antidiabetic, antimicrobial, antioxidant activities fruit cone extracts these plants were evaluated. analysis secondary metabolites also done. Material Method: Antimicrobial activity done with MIC. AB...

To obtain immunomodulating substances from Amazonian medicinal plants, hot water extracts from 21 samples available commercially were tested in terms of mitogenic and colony-stimulating factor (CSF)-inducing activities. Among them, Dalbergia monetaria exhibited the highest CSF-inducing activity. Orobol 8-C-glucoside (OCG-8) and orobol 6-C-glucoside (OCG-6) were isolated from the bark of D. mone...
