Present transplant study was carried out across Lucknow, the capital of Utter Pardesh using two medicinally important plants viz., ?Catharanthus roseus L.? and ?Ocimum sanctum L.? to assess whether certain ecophysiological responses (change in total flavonoids and total phenolics) in these two plants may serve as the biomarkers of auto exhaust pollution. Samples were taken from five different s...

background scrophularia striata (scrophulariaceae family) is an herbaceous plant that is traditionally used for treatment of microbial infections. objectives antimicrobial and antioxidant activity of different extracts (methanolic, ethanolic, aqueous and ethyl acetate) from s. striata aerial parts was evaluated. materials and methods the antimicrobial activity of different extracts from s. stri...

The use of macroporous resins for the separation and purification of total flavonoids to obtain high-purity total flavonoids from Scorzonera austriaca was studied. The optimal conditions for separation and purification of total flavonoids in S. austriaca with macroporous resins were as follows: D4020 resin columns were loaded with crude flavonoid extract solution, and after reaching adsorptive ...

Higher dietary intakes of flavonoids and proanthocyanidins have been associated with a lower risk of several cancers. Few prospective epidemiologic studies have examined individual flavonoids and proanthocyanidins in relation to prostate cancer. We examined these associations in a prospective US cohort of 43,268 men with a mean age of 70 years who completed detailed self-administered questionna...

BACKGROUND Plant-based diets have been linked to high diet quality and reduced risk of cardiovascular diseases. The health impact of plant-based diets might be partially explained by the concomitant intake of flavonoids. Estimation of flavonoids intake in adults has been important for the development of dietary recommendations and interventions for the prevention of weight gain and its conseque...

total flavonoids contents and antibacterial activity of the extracts from the aerial parts of two labiateae species, nepeta menthoides boiss. & buhse and thymus trautvetteri klokov & desj.-shost. were determined. quantitative determination of flavonoid contents was calculated in terms of quercetin equivalent in various extracts (50% methanol, chloroform and distilled water) by alcl3 colorimetri...
