Biochemical Analysis and Antimicrobial Activity of Ethanolic and Aqueous Leaf Extracts of Acalypha wilkesiana var morea Müll.Arg. (Copperleaf)

Authors: Ogbonna Abigail Ify, Ogbonna Sonia Ugoy A, Ugwu Eugene Ifeanyi, Onyimba Isaac Amechi, Ogbonna Chike Innocent Chuks, Njoku Andrew Ikechukwu, Madu Josephine M and Elisha Jennifer A

Abstract: There has been a renewed interest in the use of medicinal plants for the treatment of various ailments in the world. The biochemical composition and antimicrobial effects of crude leaf extracts of Acalypha wilkesiana var morea were studied. The leaves of the plant were collected, dried, pulverized and extracted with ethanol and distilled water. The respective crude extracts were concentrated using a rotary evaporator and biochemical screening was performed using standard methodologies.

Contribution of Mitochondrial F0F1-ATP Synthase and Adenine Nucleotide Translocator to Induced Thermogenesis in the Appendix of Sauromatum venosum Inflorescence

Authors: Hanna Skubatz, PhD

Abstract: Thermogenesis in the appendix of Sauromatum venosum inflorescence can be induced by aspirin, salicylic acid, and 2-6-dihydroxybenzoic acid. The contribution of mitochondrial F1F0 ATP synthase, adenine nucleotide translocator, and alternative oxidase to induced thermogenesis in various light and dark regimes was studied. Sections of the appendix of the Sauromatum appendix were incubated with each of three inducers under a series of different photoperiods ranging from 3-48 h of dark or light regimes.
