Background: Antioxidants protect spermatozoa against lipid peroxidation during freezing.
Objective: The study is designed to elucidate the suitable extender to preserve infertile semen of smokers against ROS damage using natural Tea polyphenol (T. arjuna bark extract).
Materials And Methods: Forty-two infertile subjects with smoking habit and 28 fertile subjects without smoking habit were considered for the study. Four semen extenders including our naturally derived antioxidant component were prepared and used to preserve semen sample from the study subjects for a period of one month. Standard semen parameters, biochemical and sperm DNA damage marker with inhibition were measured before and after cryopreservation.
Results: The motility and morphology of sperm cells were maintained better in E4 extender, and DNA damage is reduced.
Conclusion: Extender recipe with natural antioxidants (E3 and E4) was found to be apt for infertile semen preservation.

Article Synopsis
- Researchers identified specific enzymes known as cytochrome P450s that are responsible for oxidative modifications of these compounds, revealing their roles in the biosynthetic pathway of triterpenoids.
- The study concluded that the initial oxidation step in this pathway likely involves C-28 modification, with subsequent branching into different hydroxylation processes to create various beneficial compounds.

Introduction: Chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) manifests in various clinical presentations ranging from asymptomatic but cosmetic problems to severe symptoms, such as lower limb edema, skin trophic changes, and ulceration. CVI substantially affects the quality of life and work productivity of the patients. Ayurveda, an ancient traditional medicine in India, evaluates the various pathological stages of CVI with a wide range of pathological conditions such as Siragranthi (venous abnormalities), Raktavaritavāta (disorders of vāta occluded by rakta ∼ blood), ApanaVaigunya (vitiated apānavāyu), Arsha (hemorrhoids), VataRakta (rheumatism due to rakta), Kushtha (integumentary disease) and Dushta Vrana (putrefied wound) depending upon the presentations of the patient.

Drought stress poses a substantial threat to global plant productivity amid increasing population and rising agricultural demand. To overcome this problem, the utilization of organic plant growth ingredients aligns with the emphasis on eco-friendly farming practices. Therefore, the present study aimed to assess the influence of 30 botanical extracts on seed germination, seedling vigor, and subsequent maize plant growth under normal and water deficit conditions.
