Abstract: Phosphorous is considered as one of the vital macronutrients for the development and biological growth of plant. A survey report suggested that 98% of North Indian alluvial soil is deficient in phosphate because it not available in the form of minerals and even after secondary reaction it do not convert products into available form of soil nutrients unlike potassium (illite mineral). There are several phosphate solubilizing microorganisms (PSM) which have the capability to covert insoluble phosphate of soil into soluble forms by synthesizing organic acids. The present study was conducted to isolate bacteria from the alluvial soil of Gangetic plains of North Bihar and to evaluate their phosphate solubilization potential. A total of 18 microbial strains were isolated out of which 11 were bacteria and 7 were fungi. The two bacterial isolates S1(v)23 and S2(v)12 were selected for further study...........

Abstract: Oxidative stress is defined as an imbalance between free radicals and the ability of the body to counteract or detoxify their harmful effects through neutralization by antioxidants. Involvement of oxygen radical has been suggested in many clinical conditions including Cardio vascular disease (CVD). The present investigation identified the SOD, catalase activity and describes the lipid profile by identifying the lipid peroxidation. The result shows that Lipid peroxidation as measured by the level of MDA was increased, where as SOD and catalase activities were decreased in patients with Cardio vascular disease
Key Words: Trace elements, Lipid peroxidation, Cardio vascular disease, Superoxide dismutase, Catalase. MDA- Malondialdehyde.

Abstract: The effect of aqueous and ethanol leaf extracts of Musa paradisiaca on serum proteins, liver and kidney function in albino rats was evaluated. Thirty-five (35) albino Wistar rats weighing between 120 -150g were divided into five (5) groups with seven rats in each group. Group A served as control while Groups B and C received 250mg/kg and 1000 mg/kg of the aqueous extract daily for 28 days. Groups D and E received 250 mg/kg and 1000 mg/kg of the ethanol extract daily for 28 days. Blood samples were obtained through cardiac puncture and centrifuged to obtain serum which was used for biochemical assays. Serum liver enzymes (ALT, AST and ALP) activities, protein, bilirubin.........
Key words: Musa Paradisiaca leaf, liver enzymes, serum proteins, electrolytes urea, creatinine
