THE PROBLEM AND REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE AND STUDIES Introduction Everyone is naturally pre-determined to have an offspring. This would just exist in a relationship of a man and woman. It is not always true in a relationship if there is a new life that will be formed. Several factors may contribute to the hindrances in the formation of new life especially to man because male (sperm) gamete is the one responsible to initiate fertilization‚ the union of male (sperm) and female (ovum) gametes

nitric oxide assay method has been performed at different doses (100-500 mg). The total phenolic contents and total flavonoid contents have also been determined. The results of the present study shows that the aqueous extract of TBB possess antioxidant activity through the DPPH free radical scavenging activity. The preliminary phytochemical investigation indicates the presence of flavonoids and polyphenols. The results are found to be significant when compared with the standard ascorbic acid. Further

These extracts have shown dose and time dependent superoxide scavenging activity. Flavonoidal content was also found to be high in both of these extracts. Flavonoids are well known for antioxidant activity. This suggests that any drug/extract containing estrogenic property with flavonoids (non-steroidal phytoestrogen) might be better anti-fertile. Ethanolic extract with higher flavonoidal content was found to be more potent then aqueous extract. As well the activity is

CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION 1. Background of the Study Apples are an excellent source of phytonutrients. These phytonutrients include phenolic acid and flavonoids. These nutrients protect the apple against bacteria‚ viruses and fungi. These benefits can be transferred into the human body when consumed. They provide antioxidants which protect against cancer and help to repair cell damage. Other benefits gleaned from the consumption of apples are the reduction in the risk of heart disease‚ diabetes

antimicrobial activity of alkaloids‚ tannins‚ saponins‚ flavonoids‚ phenol and cardic glycoside present in the various parts of Chrysophyllum albidium plant were investigated. These phytochemical were determined quantitatively and tested against staphylococcus aureus‚ B. subtilis‚ pseudomonas aeruginosa‚ E. coli‚ C. tetani‚ and the fungus; candida albicans. Most the plant parts were found to contain alkaloids‚ tannins‚ phenols and flavonoids except for the absence of cardic glycosides in the root

Guava fruit is higher in vitamin C than citrus (80 mg of vitamin C in 100 g of fruit) and contains appreciable amounts of vitamin A as well. Guava fruits are also a good source of pectin - a dietary fiber. The leaves of guava are rich in flavonoids‚ in particular‚ quercetin. Much of guava’s therapeutic activity is attributed to

Micro-extraction of urine and/or stomach contents and analysis by TLC Abstract Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC) is one of the oldest chromatographic techniques used for the identification of compounds and for determination of the presence of trace impurities. The aim of the experiment was to determine two unknown samples (X and Y) by comparing results to the known standard drugs‚ of which there was five‚ using a specific TLC method. The same technique was used for the determination of
