Anthocyanins, which are natural plant pigments from the flavonoid family, represent substantial constituents of the human diet. Because some other bioflavonoids are known to have estrogenic activity, the aim of this study was to determine the estrogenic activity of the anthocyanine aglycones. Binding affinity to the estrogen receptor-alpha was 10,000- to 20,000-fold lower than that of the endog...

Changes were estimated in the morphology, physiology, photosynthesis, nodulation, and yield two mungbean varieties ‘PKV AKM 12-28’ ‘VBN (Gg)3’ under salt stress (0, 75, 100, 125 mM NaCl) for 15, 30, 45 days. Multivariate modelling was used to analyse results explore complex data visualize time concentration-dependent modulations. Principal component analysis showed modulations morpho-physiologi...

Spices are a diverse group of wide variety dietary additives consumed all over the world. Study spices is good example to illustrate anyone complementarily science and tradition. A spice may be any dried part, an herb, pleasantly aromatic like seed, fruit, root, bark or flower plant, which commonly used for flavor, color, as preservative medicine. From ancient time have being playing major role...

Cigarette smoke contains oxidants that generate the production of free radicals. Free radical is a form Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS). However, an increase in ROS will cause imbalance between and antioxidants, leading to oxidative stress. Oxidative stress induce lipid peroxidation, measurable by malondialdehyde (MDA) concentration. Anthocyanin exogenic antioxidant able inhibit ROS. This study a...

Background & Aim: Despite valuable medicinal properties of safflower, breeding new varieties and development of the crop culture area has been limited due to the lack of genetic variation for some crucial characteristics as resistance to diseases and pests like safflower fly. In this study, populations of wild safflower, C. oxyacanthus were collected from western, central and ...
