Taurine, a conditionally essential amino acid, ameliorates arsenic-induced cytotoxicity in murine hepatocytes
(PERGAMON-ELSEVIER, 2007-12)Arsenic is a potent environmental toxin. Present study has been designed to evaluate the protective role of taurine (2-aminoethane-sulfonic acid) against arsenic induced cytotoxicity in murine hepatocytes. Sodium arsenite ... -
An improved micropropagation of Eclipta alba by in vitro priming with chlorocholine chloride
(SPRINGER, 2008-03)An efficient method of micropropagation for Eclipta alba from young nodal axils of shoot tip explants has been developed by giving special attention to 'priming' in vitro plantlets in view of increasing their hardening ... -
Anti-oxidative effect of a protein from Cajanus indicus L against acetaminophen-induced hepato-nephro toxicity
(SPRINGER SINGAPORE, 2007-11-30)Overdoses of acetaminophen cause hepato-renal oxidative stress. The present study was undertaken to investigate the protective effect of a 43 kDa protein isolated from the herb Cajanus indicus, against acetaminophen-induced ... -
Ion Mobility Studies of Electronically Excited States of Atomic Transition Metal Cations: Development of an Ion Mobility Source for Guided Ion Beam Experiments
(Elsevier B.V, 2007-07-01)The design of an ion mobility source developed to couple to a guided ion beam tandem mass spectrometer is presented. In these exploratory studies, metal ions are created continuously by electron ionization of the volatile ... -
Arjunolic acid, a triterpenoid saponin, ameliorates arsenic-induced cyto-toxicity in hepatocytes
(ELSEVIER, 2007-12-15)Arsenic is a well-established environmental toxin, which damages various organs of the body. A triterpenoid saponin, arjunolic acid (AA) has been isolated from the bark of Terminalia arjuna. The present study was conducted ... -
Cryopreservation of in vitro grown nodal segments of Rauvolfia serpentina by PVS2 vitrification
(CRYO LETTERS, 2008-07)This paper describes the cryopreservation by PVS2 vitrification of Rauvolfia serpentina (L.) Benth ex kurz, an important tropical medicinal plant. The effects of type and size of explants, sucrose preculture (duration and ... -
Asymmetry and the shift of the Compton profile
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2007-09-21)We show that the conventionally defined asymmetry of the Compton profile (CP) is, to a large extent, simply a shift of CP. Compton scattering is widely used in studying the electron momentum distribution (EMD) of complex ... -
Hepatocytes are protected by herb Phyllanthus niruri protein isolate against thioacetamide toxicity.
(ELSEVIER, 2007-10)The herb, Phyllanthus niruri has been known to possess protective activity against various drugs and toxins induced hepatic disorders. Present study was conducted to evaluate the role of the protein isolate of the herb ... -
Protective effect of arjunolic acid against arsenic-induced oxidative stress in mouse brain
(JOHN WILEY & SONS INC, 2008)Arsenic, a notoriously poisonous metalloid, is ubiquitous in the environment, and it affects nearly all organ systems of animals including humans. The present study was designed to investigate the preventive role of a ... -
Arsenic-induced oxidative myocardial injury: protective role of arjunolic acid
(SPRINGER, 2008-03)Arsenic, one of the most harmful metalloids, is ubiquitous in the environment. The present study has been carried out to investigate the protective role of a triterpenoid saponin, arjunolic acid (AA) against arsenic-induced ... -
HARDENING - AN ESSENTIAL STEP FOR TISSUE CULTURERAISED PLANTS
(2008)High humidity is required for acclimatizing tissue culture raised plants after taking them out from rooting media and transferring to pots. In greenhouse, controlling the transpiration of these plants gradually does help ... -
Protection of arsenic-induced testicular oxidative stress by arjunolic acid
(MANEY PUBLISHING, 2008-04)Arsenic-induced tissue damage is a major concern to the human population. An impaired antioxidant defense mechanism followed by oxidative stress is the major cause of arsenic-induced toxicity, which can lead to reproductive ... -
Storage and plant regeneration from encapsulated shoot tips of Rauvolfia serpentina - An effective way of conservation and mass propagation
(ELSEVIER, 2008-11)Encapsulated shoot tips of Rauvolfia serpentina were stored at 3 different temperatures (20 degrees C, 12 degrees C and 4 degrees C). Synseeds converted randomly after 4 weeks of storage at 12 degrees C and 20 degrees C. ... -
Differential profiling of selected defence-related genes induced on challenge with Alternaria brassicicola in resistant white mustard and their comparative expression pattern in susceptible India mustard
(WILEY-BLACKWELL, 2008-11)The lack of availability of sources of resistance against Alternaria brassicicola within the family Brassicaceae has made oilseed mustard plants a target for one of the most damaging and widespread fungal diseases, Alternaria ... -

Purification of protein from a crude mixture through SDS-PAGE transfer method
(NATL INST SCIENCE COMMUNICATION,, 2007-04)SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) transfer method was used for purification and enrichment of the protein from crude sample. Coomassie bluc/ZnSO4 stained protein band(s) containing intact polyacrylamide gel ... -
Maintenance of homeostasis for thyroid hormone in the adult rat brain: Possible involvement of a nuclear-mediated phenomenon
(KARGER, 2007)During adult-onset peripheral hypothyroidism, the brain maintains normal levels of thyroid hormone for some time through a mechanism of 'central homeostasis'. Although onset, duration, and termination of such a homeostatic ... -
