Production performance, serum lipid profile and gut health in Indian native Kadaknath chickens fed diet incorporated with liquorice root powder.

The principal constituent of liquorice root () is glycyrrhizin, a triterpene saponin that is approximately many times sweeter than sucrose, the main active component. This study aimed to investigate the dietary liquorice root powder (LRP) on production performance, serum biochemical, gut health and carcass characteristics of Kadaknath (KN) birds as replacement of antibiotic growth promoter. Day-old Kadaknath chicks (n = 240) with uniform body weight were selected randomly and divided into six different treatments, each one with five replicates and eight birds per replicate, and raised in battery brooder cages for 15 weeks.

Role of H3K27me3 and Ki-67 Labeling Index in Assessing the Biological Behavior of Meningiomas.

Background: Meningiomas are neoplasms primarily originating from arachnoid cells and are classified into 3 grades (1, 2, and 3) based on histological features according to the World Health Organization classification. However, this classification system is imperfect especially for grade 1 and 2 meningiomas as many grade 1 tumors recur. Meningiomas are hence a histologically diverse class of tumors exhibiting more unpredictable behavior.

Metabolomic profiling of and grown Nilgiris tea reveals unique signatures for breeding decaffeinated varieties.

This study was begun by establishing an culture in UPASI 9, a Nilgiris tea clone () by optimising various factors. Anatomical studies demonstrated that use of lower carbendazim concentration for sterilisation (0.2%) produced viable and healthy explants for callus initiation.

A Comprehensive Review on Solid Lipid Nanoparticles as a Carrier for Oral Absorption of Phyto-Bioactives.

Phyto-bioactive (PB) compounds are naturally occurring substances derived from plants that offer significant health benefits ranging from antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities to potential cancer-fighting properties. However, their widespread application is limited by several inherent limitations, such as low bioavailability, poor biostability, limited aqueous solubility, and no site-specific target. Additionally, the necessity for high concentrations of effective PBs doses further restricts their use.
