Abstract: Mahua (Madhucaindica) is a large, deciduous tree native to the northern and central parts of India. Tribal populations across the country value the flowers of this tree as a source of food. The mahua flowers are one of the most underutilized nutrient sources due to their extremely rare consumption among the Indian populace. The flowers are nutritionally balanced as a rich source of carbohydrates, proteins, dietary fibers in addition to minerals like iron and calcium. The most interesting attribute of the mahua flowers is their long shelf life after drying. In the dried state these flowers maintain the integrity of nutrients, thus significantly reducing nutrient losses upon storage. Due to all these reasons, exploration of the nutritional profile of the mahua flowers contributes a new perspective to biochemical research.

| Title | : | Raised Lipid Profile In Rheumatoid Arthritis- A Risk For CVD |
| Country | : | India |
| Authors | : | Dr. Soobia Karim Ansari || Dr.Geeta Jaiswal |
Abstract: Rheumatoid arthritis(RA) is an autoimmune disorder, which causes chronic inflammation of the joints.Patients with newly diagnosed rheumatoid arthritis have adverse serum lipid profile. We sought to determine the effects of treating rheumatoid arthritis with NSAIDs on these abnormal lipid profile. The study population selected was from the city of Allahabad (U.P.). They were further classified into control group, Consisting of healthy males and females, Group-I Consisting of individual suffering from RA and Group II Consisting of individual suffering from RA and taking anti-inflammatory drugs..In all subjects a blood sample was collected after an overnight fast plain vials are used for the determination of lipid profile.Of the Blood lipid profile studied i.e.

Abstract: The phytochemical screening of the aqueous extracts of leaves,stem bark and roots of Hura crepitans were analysed using the Gas Chromatography – Flame Ionization Detector (GC – FID) method. The various parts of the plants were collected and air-dried under shade for one month after which they were sent for analysis. All the various parts showed varying amounts of phytochemicals: Flavonoids, Carotenoids, Sterols, Terpenes, Alkaloids, Saponins and Phenolic acids.
