Women with Polycystic ovarian condition (PCOS) are reported to have obesity, which essentially influences the disorder's associated with insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disorders. PCOS is a problem of endocrine abnormality in women between the ages of 14-44. In this paper we review on recent methods in genotyping of fat mass...

The antimicrobial activity of Mimosa pudica , Centella asiatica , Dodonaea viscosa has been recognized for many years. In the present study these three plant extracts were investigated for inhibitory activity against antibiotic resistant organisms which include Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli which were found by an antibiogram assay . The...

The aim of the investigation is to achieve molecular characterization of the medicinal plant Citrullus colocynthis through short orthologous DNA marker. The molecular characterization of Citrullus colocynthis is performed by following standard protocols for DNA barcoding specific to Angiogerms based on trnH-psbA intergenic spacer region. The method...

Over the last few years, the interest in Aeromonas infection in India has gone beyond the boundaries due to the increase of diseases which is responsible for watery diarrhea. Most reports have described gastroenteritis, septicemia, meningitis, pneumonia, or surgical wound infections, primarily in immune-compromised patients1. Infections caused by r...

Halophiles are known to be potent sources of commercially exploitable substances. Recent interest in the halophile research has its focus on the medicinal properties of these microorganisms. In the current study, an attempt was made to isolate carotenoids from two strains of halophilic bacteria-Halobacterium salinarium and Haloferox volcanii. Media...

Diabetes mellitus is a prevalent disease affecting the citizens of both developed and developing countries. Despite considerable progress in the treatment of diabetes by oral hypoglycemic agents, search for newer drugs continues because the existing synthetic drugs have several limitations. The herbal drugs with antidiabetic activity are yet to be...
Article
Among the MDR efflux pump mechanisms in Aeromonas hydrophila, the Ahe ABC efflux pump lays a major role in the multiresistance mechanism. The AheB protein structure is predicted using MODELLER 9.9 and the final model is refined by energy minimization. The quality of the refined model is assessed using PROCHECK. The interaction between the efflux pu...

Objective - Halophilic bacteria present in various high salt locations have shown to possess various commercially viable properties. An understanding of the microbial flora present in salt brines will help in the proper exploitation of this resource.Methods - In the current study, bacteria were isolated from salt brines and characterized. Followed...

... RAPD reveals a high degree of polymorphism without the requirement of prior DNA sequence information and it is simple to perform. The RAPD technique amplified unique fragments as this technique does not amplify two discrete fragments that co-migrate on gels having a similar size [16]. Therefore, this application is explored by various researchers for authentication of traditional medicinal plants [17]. ...
... However, celastrine, curcumin and gilloin were found to have interaction with 2 or more than 2 sites residues. Based on docking score and ACE, celastrine showed best interaction with maximum surface area coverage [25]. The docking calculations for all the compounds, depicting various parameters, are shown in Table5. ...
... Some studies report procedures for the extraction and isolation of cucurbitacins from different plants of Cucurbitaceae family [16][17][18]. The extraction of cucurbitacins is generally applied to the plant material or to the dried fruit juice using methanol or ethanol. ...
... The pigment (2.5 mg) was dissolved in 1 mL dimethyl sulfoxide, to reach a final concentration of 2500 µg/mL for the tested compound. The antioxidant activity of the pigment solution (200 µL) was investigated using phosphomolybdenum reagent (32 mM sodium phosphate, 4 mM ammonium molybdate, and 0.6 M sulfuric acid) according to Sikkandar et al. [36]. Finally, the absorbance was measured at 695 nm, and antioxidant capacity is expressed as standard butylhydroxytoluene equivalents (BHT). ...
