Study of vibrational spectra of monohalogenated acetylenes and their deuterated analogues using the U(4) algebraic model.

A detailed study on the vibrational spectra of monohalogenated acetylenes and their deuterated analogues has been reported in this work using the U(4) algebraic model. With detailed spectral analysis, it has been shown in this study that all the stable isotopes of monohalogenated acetylenes and their deuterated analogues can be approximated well using the U(4) algebraic model.

Fenugreek, A Potent Hypoglycaemic Herb Can Cause Central Hypothyroidism Via Leptin - A Threat To Diabetes Phytotherapy.

Fenugreek (, a medicinal herb with potent antihyperglycaemic and hypoglycaemic effects, is used to treat diabetes. This study is aimed to explore the interaction of fenugreek seed extract (FSE) and HPT (hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid) axis in context of leptin secretion which have important role in normal and type-1 diabetic subjects. FSE (confirmed to contain trigonelline, diosgenin, 4 hydroxyisoleucine) was gavaged (0.

Mugineic acid, active ingredient of wheat grass: an oral novel hexadentate iron chelator in iron overloaded diseases.

Iron chelation therapies are required for the treatment of iron overloaded patients; nonetheless, their side effects are also well known. We have evaluated iron-chelating activity of wheat grass extract (WHE) and its purified compound, mugineic acid in murine model with phenylhydrazine (PHZ) and dextran induced acute and chronic iron overload conditions. PHZ and dextran treatment induced acute and chronic iron overload condition in mice, respectively, as indicated by increased serum and tissue iron in both cases.

Acute toxicity test of a natural iron chelator and an antioxidant, extracted from Triticum aestivum Linn. (wheat grass).

Triticum aestivum (wheat grass) is widely used in traditional medicine to treat various diseases. Previously the purified compounds and crude extract of T. aestivum were established to have iron chelation potency and antioxidant activity.

Light and scanning electron microscopic studies on chromium-induced anemia in a murine model.

Blood hemoglobin level, hematocrit value and erythrocyte count were reduced by 17.5, 17.4 and 15.
