Abstract: Guava (Psidium guajava) is an evergreen shrub or small tree in the family Myrtaceae grown for its edible fruits. Analysis of proximate principles of guava was carried out and nutritional profiles of white and red pulp guava were established.Proximate analysis indicated that the carbohydrate content in the white pulp guava was found to behigher than the red pulp guava. The protein content varied significantly with more amount of proteins in the red pulp guava. The amount of crude fibres in red pulp guava was found to be more as compared to white pulp guava. The results for moisture content indicated that the red variety contains less amount of water. The mineral elements analysis indicated that the red pulp guava fruit was significantly higher in Calcium, Sodium and Phosphorous. The white variety was found to be rich in potassium. Sodium content in white guava was in very minute quantity...........

Abstract: Arsenic is well- known to promote toxicity in the reproductive system.. It alters the ovary of mice at different dose levels. It creates more and more reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the ovary. Female Swiss albino mice were selected as the experimental animal. In the treatment group, 1.8 mg/kg body weight Sodium arsenite and in the control group distilled water was given orally by gavage method daily for 5 months. After the treatment, mice were sacrificed and the ovary and blood samples were collected. Sodium arsenite treated group showed no effects of CA 125 in mice blood, LPO level was significantly (p < 0.01) increased, whereas antioxidant enzymes (SOD and CAT) activity was significantly (p < 0.05 ) decreased as compared to the control group. Apoptotic index was significantly (p < 0.01) higher in arsenic-treated mice compared with the control. Sodium arsenite treated group showed..........

Abstract: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a metabolic disorder of multiple etiologies characterized by absolute or relative deficiency of insulin secretion with or without varying degree of insulin resistance. Sedentary life style and obesity are two major epidemiological determinants of diabetes mellitus. In the present investigation hypoglycemic and antioxidant efficacy of methanol extract of Streblus asper of family Moraceae was tested on STZ induced mice diabetic models. The results clearly indicated that the diabetic control (DC) mice presented a significant lowering of body weight (p<0.001) when compared with the normal control (NC) mice. The DC mice showed a significantly (p<0.001) higher level of glucose (+279%), when compared with their normal control counterparts. Diabetic mice of all the three groups (DT150, DT250 and DT500) showed a reduction in glucose levels, when compared to the DC ones. The results clearly.........
