Low temperatures have been reported to be having far reaching effects on all plant species. The effects, in turn depend on the low temperature sensitivity of each and every plant species. In nature, the effects of various stresses may be seen overlapping thus the effects may be specific or non-specific. The effects in response to low temperature can be well ameliorated by the exogenous application of various protective molecules viz., proline, glycine betaine, trehalose. Various cold tolerant transgenic crops over-expressing these molecules have also been...

It has been reported that mortality associated with diabetes is about 2.9 million cases in World. The most common diabetes complications consist of cardiovascular disease, renal failure and blindness. The increase of lipid oxidation and reduction of antioxidants in mitochondrial dysfunction were showed. The role of investigation on mitochondria damage is requiring for evaluation of insulin resistance. In this study, we reviewed the relationship between mitochondrial function to diabetes and its complications according to latest study during 2011 – 2015 using databases such as pubmed, science direct and web of...

Microalgae biomass has been recognized to have great potential as a source of novel bioactive compounds with industrial as well as health promoting applications in human, animal and aquatic lives. Microalgae have been gaining attention continuously due to its bioactive compounds. These bioactive compounds are primary and secondary metabolites produced by microalgae in order to adopt adverse environmental conditions. The simple growth requirement, higher mass productivity in short harvesting time making microalgae promising over other natural source of bioactive compounds. Several species of microalgae have undergone various screenings to identify and tap into these valuable resources, among them are the Isochrysis galbana, a brown microalgae belonging the class haptophyta. It is widely used as a feed for marine organism in aquaculture because of its high lipid content. Recently it is found Isochrysis galbana also exhibited the potential of being a source of high-value compounds with distinct biological activities including antitumor, antibacterial, antioxidant properties, anti-inflammatory and hypochloesteromic. These activities have a wide range of applications in various industries that have...

The drug delivery by oral route is so far most convenient and accepted route of drug delivery but now a days considerable interest has been increased in delivery of drugs through skin to the systemic circulation and for local effect. However, the outer most layer of the human skin, stratum corneum; possess the formidable barrier to drug penetration thereby reducing bio-availability. Most of the drugs do not have an ability to penetrate the stratum corneum. Owing to the side effects of chemical penetration enhancers interest has been aroused among researchers to find out natural sources as penetration enhancers to improve the bio-availability of drugs so that they can be delivered through skin. The current review aims to screen various natural sources of penetration enhancers for transdermal delivery of different drugs as they have minimum chances of side effects and have improved efficacy compared to chemical enhancers. Various natural derivatives have been proposed that could show potential penetration enhancing capacity with varied mechanism of penetration. Though a large number of...

Zika virus infection is caused by the bite of an infected Aedes mosquito, usually causing rash, mild fever, conjunctivitis, and muscle pain. First time the virus was isolated in 1947 in the Zika forest in Uganda. It is transmitted to people through the bite of an infected Aedes mosquito. Symptoms are similar to those of dengue and chikungunya, which are transmitted by the same type of mosquito. Autoimmune and Neurological complications are infrequent. Treatment consists of relieving pain, fever, and any other symptom that inconveniences the patient. To prevent dehydration, it is recommended to drink plenty of water, rest, and control the fever. Thus far, there is no vaccine for the virus. But since it is a self-remitting disease, a person can be hopeful of being cured within a week or two, and the treatment is usually symptomatic. This review covers about the Zika virus; epidemiology and guidelines issued by the health ministry for control and prevention of Zika...
