Nutrient profile of porridge made from Eleusine coracana (L.) grains: effect of germination and fermentation.

Porridge (koozh) is one of the traditional foods made from Eleusine coracana L. grains (Finger millet). It is a soft food prepared from processed (germinated & fermented) finger millet flour (FMF).

Spectroscopic and molecular docking studies on the interaction of troxerutin with DNA.

Troxerutin (TXER) is a derivative of naturally occurring bioflavonoid rutin. It possesses different biological activities in rising clinical world. The biological activity possessed by most of the drugs mainly targets on macromolecules.

Synthesis and biological evaluation of isoindoloisoquinolinone, pyroloisoquinolinone and benzoquinazolinone derivatives as poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 inhibitors.

A series of novel fused isoquinolinones with isoindoloisoquinolinone, pyroloisoquinolinone, and benzoquinalizinone skeletons were synthesized from corresponding phenethylimides. The isoquinolinone derivatives were evaluated for their protective effect on chicken erythrocytes subjected to oxidative damage. The effect of isoquinolinone derivatives were analysed by estimation of cell viability, antioxidant enzyme activities, DNA damage (comet assay), PARP-1 inhibition assay and molecular docking of the compounds with PARP-1 active site.

TNF-α suppression by glutathione preconditioning attenuates hepatic ischemia reperfusion injury in young and aged rats.

Background And Aim: Hepatic ischemia reperfusion (I/R) stimulates Kupffer cells and initiates injury through tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) upregulation. Aim of this study was to compare the variable effects of reduced glutathione (GSH) pre-treatment on I/R liver injury in young and aged rats.

Methods: Wistar male rats were sorted into young (groups I-III) and aged (groups IV-VI).

Vector rogue waves and dark-bright boomeronic solitons in autonomous and nonautonomous settings.

In this work we consider the dynamics of vector rogue waves and dark-bright solitons in two-component nonlinear Schrödinger equations with various physically motivated time-dependent nonlinearity coefficients, as well as spatiotemporally dependent potentials. A similarity transformation is utilized to convert the system into the integrable Manakov system and subsequently the vector rogue and dark-bright boomeronlike soliton solutions of the latter are converted back into ones of the original nonautonomous model. Using direct numerical simulations we find that, in most cases, the rogue wave formation is rapidly followed by a modulational instability that leads to the emergence of an expanding soliton train.
