Journal ArticleDOI
Identification of arsenic-tolerant and arsenic-sensitive rice (Oryza sativa L.) cultivars on the basis of arsenic accumulation assisted stress perception, morpho-biochemical responses, and alteration in genomic template stability.
TL;DR: Cultivar- and dose-dependent alteration of parameters tested including the rate of accumulation showed that Kumargore, Binni, and Vijaya were characterized as arsenate tolerant and could be cultivated in arsenic-prone areas to minimize level of toxicity and potential health hazards.
Journal ArticleDOI
In Vitro Inhibition of Key Enzymes Related to Diabetes by the Aqueous Extracts of Some Fruits of West Bengal, India
TL;DR: Aqueous extracts of different seasonal as well as less popular but edible indigenous fruits of West Bengal, India were studied for their α-glucosidase and α-amylase inhibitory properties as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sansevieria roxburghiana Schult. & Schult. F. (Family: Asparagaceae) Attenuates Type 2 Diabetes and Its Associated Cardiomyopathy.
Niloy Bhattacharjee,Ritu Khanra,Tarun K. Dua,Susmita Das,Bratati De,Muhammad Zia-Ul-Haq,Vincenzo De Feo,Saikat Dewanjee +7 more
TL;DR: Oral administration of S. roxburghiana rhizome could reduce hyperglycemia, hyperlipidemia, membrane disintegration, oxidative stress, vascular inflammation and prevented the activation of oxidative stress induced signaling cascades leading to cell death.
Journal ArticleDOI
Metabolomic and chemometric study of Achras sapota L. fruit extracts for identification of metabolites contributing to the inhibition of α-amylase and α-glucosidase
TL;DR: The present experiment reports the importance of both primary and secondary metabolites for the bioactivity of plant extracts and identifies the inhibitors of α-amylase and α-glucosidase using metabolomics and chemometric approaches.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluation of arsenic induced toxicity based on arsenic accumulation, translocation and its implications on physio-chemical changes and genomic instability in indica rice ( Oryza sativa L.) cultivars
TL;DR: Potential toxicity caused by arsenate (AsV) among four rice cultivars tested that varied with respect to accumulation of total arsenic, arsenite (AsIII) and their differential translocation rate which had deleterious impact on growth and metabolism is examined.
