Abstract: Ethnobotany accounts for the study of the relationship between people and plants for their use as medicines, food, shelter, clothing, fodder, fuel and some other household purposes. In Chatra district of Jharkhand more than 75 % of people in the rural area use traditional medicine to help meet their health care needs. In the present study the descriptive statistical methods of 323 medicinal plants of Chatra in terms of percentage and frequency have been employed to analyze the ethnobotanical data. The different quantitative indices used in ethnobotanical data analysis were use value (UV), frequency of citation (FC), relative frequency of citation (RFC), family importance value (FIV), informant consensus factor (ICF), fidelity level (FL %) and preference ranking.....

Abstract: Background: Bisphenol-A (BPA) is an environmental xenoestrogen that has been studied for its impact on fertility in animals and humans. Growing evidence showed that Bisphenol-A can disrupt the cytochrome P450 enzymes activities, leading to generation of reactive oxygen species with endocrine Interference effect, and can affect multiple organs. The objective of the study was to investigate the effects of varying concentrations of BPA (0.05 - 1μM for 13 weeks) on glutathione reductase and on glutathione peroxidase in female rats. Method: The eleven experimental groups rats were administered; 0.05, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 0.8, 0.9, and 1 mg of BPA/kg bw/day for 13weeks respectively.....
