In the present study, methanol, ethanol and aqueous extracts of Cassia occidentalis were evaluated by employing various in vitro antioxidant assays. The aqueous extract of had shown highest total phenolic content (250mg/g), the further assays were carried on active fraction of aqueous that is fractioned ethyl acetate extract. The ethyl acetate extract of C. occidentalis had the most effective total antioxidant activity among the two separated extracts. The IC50 values of the extract and BHT were found to be 60.5 and 60.4 respectively. The ethyl acetate extract of C.

There is degradation in the forest ecosystem in the Uttrakhand hills and its sustainability is very important for the survival of humankind. There has been a loss of 268 sq. km of forest cover in Uttarakhand hills. The very dense forest cover has gone down to the tune of 86 sq. km whereas there is a tremendous loss of forest cover in moderately dense forests and it is to the level of 519 sq. km. Nainital has also lost 3 sq km of VDF and 107 sq. km of open forest(OF).

Tannin Acyl Hydrolase (E.C 3.1.1.20) commonly referred as tannase is an industrially important enzyme which is mainly used in the food, chemical, pharmaceuticals and beverage industry; it is produced by number of microbes, animals, and plants. In this study production of tannase was investigated using agro-residue, Azadirachta indica leaves as a substrate of hydrolysable tannin by potent tannase producer isolate Streptomyces sp.SKA1.

Pemphigus vulgaris is an autoimmune, intraepithelial, blistering disease affecting the skin and mucous membrane. The immune system produces anti bodies against specific proteins in the skin and mucous membrane. These anti bodies break the bonds between skin cells. This leads to the formation of a blister. The exact cause is unknown. It is mediated by circulating auto antibodies directed against keratinocyte cell surface. The disease arises most often in middle aged or older people, usually starting with a blister that ruptures easily. The lesions can become quite extensive.

The antioxidant capacity and antioxidant constituents of two filamentous fungi (Acremonium charticola and Rhizopus oryzae) isolated from the dried Fig were evaluated in the present study. The antioxidant capacity of the fungal crude extracts was assessed based on the 2,2 azino-bis(3-ethyl-benzthiazolin-6-sulfonicacid) (ABTS) method. Total phenolics were determined based on the Folin-Ciocalteu method, while the flavonoids content in the fungal extracts was determined by the spectrophotometric method with aluminum chloride.  Total tannins were estimated by the Folin-Denis method.

It is established that in case of changing of electrons and protons normal conductance by uncoupler as rotenone - inhibitor of mitochondrial respiratory chain complex I, inhibitor of mitochondrial hydrogen atom transport at NADH: ubiquinone oxidoreductase level, the significance of the pH value in the outside of isolated erythrocytes, the significance of the pH value after the partial hemolysis of isolated erythrocytes, the significance of the pH value after the full hemolysis of isolated erythrocytes changed to alkaline side.

The social structure of Rajasthan in early medieval period was a bit different from other areas of India. The society was clearly demarcated in various stratas of castes followed by ethical bondages of Rajasthan. Further, such structure led to emergence of an economic structure which was refined as well as society-oriented. This period actually marked the transition from medieval to colonial era.
