Journal ArticleDOI
Determination of organochlorine pesticides in agricultural soil with special reference to γ-HCH degradation by Pseudomonas strains
TL;DR: Two Pseudomonas strains isolated from agricultural soil were found to possess gamma-hexachlorocyclohexane degrading ability when the isolates were grown in a mineral salt medium containing gamma-HCH as the sole source of carbon and a number of metabolites were produced and detected by the gas chromatography.
Journal ArticleDOI
DNA Methyltransferase Inhibitor, Zebularine, Delays Tumor Growth and Induces Apoptosis in a Genetically Engineered Mouse Model of Breast Cancer

TL;DR: It is observed that zebularine inhibits the growth of spontaneous mammary tumors and causes early onset of tumor cell necrosis and apoptosis in a genetically engineered mouse model of breast cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of age on aluminum induced lipid peroxidation and neurolipofuscin in frontal cortex of rat brain: A behavioral, biochemical and ultrastructural study
Sandeep Tripathi,Abbas Ali Mahdi,Akbar Nawab,Ramesh Chander,Mahdi Hasan,Mohammad Shakil Siddiqui,Farzana Mahdi,Kalyan Mitra,Virendra K. Bajpai +8 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that Al may be linked with neurolipofuscinogenesis and alteration in neurobehavioral activity and these changes may be responsible for the development of age related disorders, such as Alzheimer's disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Green Tea Polyphenols Induce p53-Dependent and p53-Independent Apoptosis in Prostate Cancer Cells through Two Distinct Mechanisms
Karishma Gupta,Vijay S. Thakur,Natarajan Bhaskaran,Akbar Nawab,Melissa A. Babcook,Mark W. Jackson,Sanjay Gupta +6 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that GTP induces prostate cancer cell death by two distinct mechanisms regardless of p53 status, thus identifying specific well-defined molecular mechanisms that may be targeted by chemopreventive and/or therapeutic strategies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluation of Anticancer Properties of Medicinal Plants from the Indian Sub-Continent
TL;DR: Based on the in vitro data, it is suggested that consumption of the components of these plants or ingestion of extract as tea may impart anticancer effects especially in the colon, breast and the prostate.
