Article Synopsis
- Clove basil and sweet basil seeds release mucilage when hydrated, which can replace a portion of oil in reduced-fat eggless mayonnaise.
- The modified mayonnaises showed improved texture and stability compared to traditional eggless versions, with better spreadability and less stickiness.
- They also had higher fiber, mineral, and antioxidant levels while containing less fat and calories, making them a healthier option for consumers seeking eggless alternatives.
Septilin (Spt) is a polyherbal drug formulation from Himalaya Drug Company, consisting of extracts from different medicinal plants and minerals. In the traditional system of medicine, septilin is being used as immunomodulatory, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agent. In the present study, the protective effects of septilin against the genotoxicity of cyclophosphamide (CP) a widely used alkylating anticancer drug was evaluated by using micronucleus (MN) and sperm shape abnormality assays in Swiss albino mice.

Epidemiologically, it has been modestly associated with cardiovascular diseases (CVD) with elevated acute-phase reactant C-reactive protein (CRP) and rheological variables such as total leukocyte count and differential leukocyte count (TLC and DLC), which are potential predictors of CVD.
Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate the serum CRP level, leukocyte count in chronic periodontitis patients and their relation to the severity of chronic periodontitis.

Aluminium acetate (AA) has many pharmaceutical applications, which necessitates a thorough evaluation of its toxicity. Dose- and time-dependent genotoxic effects of AA were investigated in Swiss albino mice after exposure via intraperitoneal (i.p.

In the present study we investigated HER-2/neu gene amplification by FISH in breast carcinoma tissue specimens and compared the results with that of immunohistochemical (IHC) analysis.
Methods: A total of 90 breast carcinoma tissue samples were used for immunohistochemical (IHC) and FISH analysis.
