The inhibition of in-vitro calcium-oxalate crystal formation by Phyllanthus niruri L. extract was investigated by different methods i.e. nucleation assay and synthetic urine assay. In nucleation assay, the aim was to evaluate the effectiveness of different concentrations of the extract on calcium oxalate crystallization in vitro while in synthetic urine method the percentage inhibition and grow...

objective(s): oxidative stress has been established as a key cause of alcohol-induced hepatotoxicity. licochalcone b, an extract of licorice root, has shown antioxidative properties. this study was to investigate the effects and mechanisms of licochalcone b in ethanol-induced hepatic injury in an in vitro study. materials and methods: an in vitro model of ethanol-induced cytotoxicity in brl cel...

conclusions allicin vapor, or some decomposition product of allicin, causes inhibition of bacterial growth and biofilm formation. parallel enzymatic studies confirmed this inhibitory effect and suggest that sulfhydryl enzymes are involved in biofilm formation in the strain studied. results an inhibition effect was observed both in the bacterial cultures and the enzymatic solutions, and the exte...

Formaldehyde or gluteraldehyde cells treated with tannic acid were coated with plasminogen. These cells are agglutinated by plasminogen antiserum and this reaction can be quantitatively inhibited by purified plasminogen, plasma, and euglobulin. Correlation between this haemagglutination assay and a caseinolytic method is good. The sensitivity of the technique is high and compares favourably wit...
