Item Evaluation of efficacy of phytoremediation in decontamination effluents using biossay analysis of fish tissue bearing(Department of Zoology, 2013-03-22) Banerjee, T.KToxicity of the effluent generated at the Rajrappa coalmine complex under central coalfields limited, Jharkhand was analyzed. Coal mining generated huge quantity of toxic effluent which regularly pollutes the neighboring wetlands where the local inhabitants often cultivate fishes for eating purposesItem Toxicity of dying chemicals used in carpet industry on the skin and gills of certain freshwater teleosts(Department of Zoology, 2014-12-31) Mittal, SwatiIncreasing industrialization and urbanization leads environmental pollution. A polluted ecosystem may threaten fish population, can cause accumulation of pollutants and environmental toxins in fish, and thus could have direct effect on human nutrition and health.Item Antiproliferative and Antitumor Activity of Extracts of Certain Orchid Plants(Department of Zoology, 2015-12-31) Koch, Biplob1. To investigate the in vitro anticancer activity of the three Dendrobium species ethanolic extracts. 2. To determine the cytotoxic effect of the extracts against both normal and cancer cell lines. 3. To study the effect of plant extracts on induction of apoptosis in cancer cells. 4. To elucidate the effect of the plant extracts on the expression of apoptotic proteins and genes in cancer cell lines. 5. To investigate the anticancer activity of the Dendrobium species ethanolic extracts in in vivo conditionItem Modulation of Nitric Oxide synthases and induction of apoptosis in hepatocellular carcinoma by fiestin(Department of Zoology, 2015-06-30) Trigun, S.KFiestin, a natural flavanol, found in many common fruits and vegetables, was evident to modulate tumor growth associated signaling cascade in HCC cells in vivo and thus provided a cellular and molecular basis of anti cancer activity of this compound. Thus, this outcome provides a base line data to (a) evaluate translational feasibility of fisetin as an effective anti-HCC therapy and (b) advocates fruits and vegetable rich diet to prevent development of HCC and other tumor growth in human subjects.
