    E Anti-inflammatory activity of methanolic extract of Bambusa vulgaris leaves RTICL William M. Carey, Jeevan Mani Babu Dasi1, Nimmagadda V. Rao1, Krishna Mohan Gottumukkala A Deparment of Pharmacognosy and Ethnopharmacology, University College of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Kakatiya University, Warangal and 1Department of Pharmacology, V.L. College of Pharmacy, Raichur, India Bambusa vulgaris, commonly known as “Bamboo,” possesses various pharmacological activities including anti-inflammatory activity. The present study is designed to investigate anti-inflammatory effect of methanolic extract of B. vulgaris (MEBV) on rats and mice. The anti-inflammatory effect is investigated employing acute inflammatory models: formaldehyde-induced paw edema, acetic acid-induced vascular permeability, subacute anti-inflammatory model: cotton pellet granuloma, estimation of plasma MDA and RIGINAL carrageenan-induced peritonitis. MEBV (100, 200 and 400 mg/kg, p.o) exhibited a dose-dependent and significant inhibition (P <0.01) in all the experimental models. Preliminary phytochemical screening revealed the presence of flavonoids, carbohydrates, glycosides, O proteins, and alkaloids. The extract produces no mortality in the dose up to 2000 mg/kg, p.o. The results obtained suggest marked anti-inflammatory activity of the MEBV and support the traditional use of this plant in some painful and inflammatory conditions.

  • (Hoplosternum Littorale) on Starvation
    UTILIZATION OF THE PRINCIPAL NUTRIENTS FOR ROUTINE METABOLISM IN ATIPA (HOPLOSTERNUM LITTORALE) ON STARVATION P. LUQUET,* Y. MOREAU,* F. MEDALE** and S.J. KAUSHIK** CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk +INRA ORSTOM Laboratoire d'Hydrobiologie. BP 709. 97387, Kourou, French Guiana Provided by Horizon / Pleins textes Present address: CRO. BP VI& Abidjan 01, Ivory Coast **INRA Station d'Hydrobiologie. BP 3 Saint-Pét%ur-NiveN, 64310 Ascain. France ABSTRACT Atipa (Hoplosternum litrorale),a nopical fish from South America, was starved for 50 days. Changes in whole body composition (dry maner. proteins. amino acids. minerals, fats, and energy) were studied in order to assess the utilization of such nutrients for routine metabolism. The intensity of catabolism decreased with the duration of the fast. During the fmt 10 days the daily losses amounted to 0.55 g. 0.29 g. and 0.14 g. respectively for fresh body weight, dry matter, and proteins per 100 g initial body weight. During the following 40 days, daily losses were on average half of the previous values. There was remarkable conservation of certain nutrients including mineral and lipid reserves and amino acids. There were two very distinct phases in energy utilization. Lipids played an important role in energy supply during the first phase but. in the long ten. routine energy requirements are met mainly by protein mobilization. Hoplosternum littorale (vemacular French name: Atipa) is an armoured catfrsh of the family Callichtyidae, of wide distribution in marshes and flood plains of the northem part of South America. Although information is available on the behaviour of this species, data on its biology are very scarce (Sing, 1977; Machado-Allison, 1987; Winemiller, 1987; Gautier et al., 1988).

  • Hoplosternum Littorale
    ADVANCES IN TROPICAL A AOUACOP IFREMER Actes \ I ; 48 , The culture of Hoplosternum littorale : 7 state of the art and perspectives J P. LUQUET, T. BOUJARD, P. PLANQUEnE, Y. MOREAU and G. HOSTACHE Laboratoire d’Hydrobiologie. INRA. KOUROU. Guyane Française Abstract - Hoplosternum linorale is a siluriform fuh of very high commercial value in some countries of South America. Some biological characteristics as easy /-spawning in confinement and good tolerance of low oxygen level make it easy to / cultivate. I Aquatic oxygen uptake does not allow to sustain standard metabolism. so it is 1 considered as an obligated air breather. Routine metabolism and growth cannot be ! completed without air access. i A circadian rythm for feeding behaviour is observed. Most voluntary food intake \ occurs during the night. nte sunset is a directive factor even in case of time lag. So. a a night feeding schedule should be used in practise. x ”- L __ Spawning occurs during the rainy seasons in nests built by the male on the water sudace. The seasonal fecundity is very high with more than 2SOOO large size (1.4 mm in diameter) eggs for a hundred gram female. The larvae are quite large (6- 7 mm length) and can be reared in standing water on complete diet with a good survival rate (70 %) but poor growth. Newly hatched fvtransferred in ponds give a better growth - I2 g in one month - but with only few survivors.
