Background: Malnutrition in form of protein energy malnourishment, is a range of pathological conditions arising from coincident lack of protein and/or energy in varying proportions which can results in muscle wasting and degeneration. Aim: The study is aimed to investigate the effects of defatted Moringa oleifera seed on skeletal muscle of Protein Energy Malnourished rats and to assess its effect on enzyme markers: AST, ALT, Total protein, Albumin, Ca2+ ATPase and Na+/K+ ATPase. Methods: 16 white albino rats of waster strain (Rattus novergicus) were initially divided into ‘A’ and ‘B’ groups; Group A rats served as positive control and was administered normal growers’ feed while Group ‘B’ rats were administered with low protein based diet to induce muscle wasting for 21 days. After the period of malnourishment, group B was further divided into 3 groups: C, D, E. Group C was sacrificed which served as negative control while group D and E were fed with recovery diet containing 20% M. oleifera based diet and 20% fish meal based diet...

Leucas aspera (family-Lamiaceae) has great therapeutic significance in the Indian system of medicine due to its rich antioxidant activity. The main objective of the present work was to isolate the active constituent of ethanolic extract of Leucas aspera by column chromatography, Characterization of isolated compound by IR, 1H NMR, Mass spectroscopy and in-vitro anticancer activity evaluations against Hela, Hep G2 And MCF-7 Cell Lines by MTT assay. The EELA showed highest percentage of cell inhibition 64.18% in the concentration of 500 (µg/ml) on the HepG2 (Human liver cancer cell line) and significant activity than the HeLa & MCF-7. The present study concluded that the antioxidant potentials like flavonoids, saponins present in extract might be responsible for the anticancer...
