Role of phyto-stabilised silver nanoparticles in suppressing adjuvant induced arthritis in rats.

Aim Of The Study: The present study was aimed to evaluate the anti-arthritic effects of silver nanoparticles synthesised using Piper nigrum extract and to further establish its mechanism of action in a rat model of adjuvant induced arthritis (AA).

Materials And Methods: Adjuvant arthritis was induced by injecting complete Freund's adjuvant (0.1mL) into the left hind paw of 36 albino Wistar rats (n=6).

Effect of cooking temperature and time on the physico-chemical, histological and sensory properties of female carabeef (buffalo) meat.

The effect of cooking temperature (80-100°C) and time (30-60min) on collagen solubility of Semimembranosus muscle in carabeef were investigated. The pH, cooking loss, shear force value, collagen content, collagen solubility, sensory evaluation and histological observations of water bath cooked and pressure cooked Semimembranosus meat samples were measured. Increase in pH, cooking loss, collagen solubility and tenderness scores with decrease in shear force value and collagen content was observed with increases in cooking temperature and time.
