Flower is the reproductive structure of the plant, which contains the active molecules called phyto-chemicals. These phyto-chemicals have potential biological activities when administered in the body, which help to eradicate the diseases and to attain health. Flower is the symbol of love and consciousness. It is one of the ultimate sources of happiness. In the yogic science each our bodily Chakra (Plexus) resembles the symbol of flower. Since Vedic period the flowers were used in the form of Pushabhisheka, Garland, and decorative purposes. The flowers too have spiritual aspects. For example Lord Bramha, Goddess Laxmi is sitting on lotus flower. Lord Buddha holds a lotus flower in his hand symbolises the Mantra “OM MANI PADME HUM”. Lord Shiva likes the Dhattura (Datura metal Linn), Dronapushpi flowers for Abhisheka. Lord Vishnu likes Tulasi flowers. Lord Ganesha likes Japa Pushpa; likewise flowers are being used since Vedic period not only for ritual but also for therapeutic purpose. Here an attempt is made to explore the various types of medicinal flowers, their therapeutic actions which were dealt in Ayurvedic classical texts. Further scope of study is to cultivate such medicinal flowers and evaluate the pharmacological actions by experimentally as well as clinical trials.

Due to the rise of unhealthy lifestyles among the young population, there is a need to develop a tool to assess their health-promoting behavior. Despite the importance of this issue, few studies have explored the Health-Promoting Lifestyle Profile (HPLP) among students, and literature from the East African region for this particular group is even more scarce. Objective. The main aim of this study was to validate a four-factor structure measurement model of the Health-promoting lifestyle Profile-II (HPLP-II) based on CFI, SRMR, and RMSEA among Kenyan undergraduate students Design. The study design was a cross-sectional analytical, that utilized quantitative methods Setting. The study was conducted in Kakamega County, located in Western Kenya. Analysis. Data were analyzed through confirmatory factor analysis, which was conducted using robust maximum likelihood estimation. The factor model was tested for validity and construct validity. Main outcome measures. Subscales physical activity, nutrition, interpersonal relationship and stress management of the Health-Promoting Lifestyle Profile II Results. After omission of some items due to high correlation with variables in the same factor, a final 34 item model was analyzed. The overall 34-item tool had a Cronbach’s alpha of 0.79 indicating good reliability. The factors physical activity, stress management, nutrition, and interpersonal relationship had Cronbach coefficients of 0.70, 0.80,0.81 and 0.83 respectively. All the correlations were below the recommended cut-off point of 0.85, which indicated that the four-health promoting behavior factors achieved good discriminant validity. The RMSEA index was less than .08, RMSEA = 0.07, 90% CI = [0.07, 0.08], which is indicative of a good model fit. The SRMR was between .05 and .08, SRMR = 0.08, which implies that the model fits the data adequately, however the CFI (CFI=0.81 which is less than 0.9) and chi-square goodness of fit test (was significant χ2(318) = 686.69, p < .001,

Grasscutters are currently being explored as laboratory models for scientific researches. The aim of the study was to Identify and localize Nissl bodies in neurons of the cervical spinal cord segments of grasscutters using cresyl fast violent (CFV) stains and to further measure the neuronal sizes of both anterior and posterior horns of the gray matter of the spinal cord. Six grasscutters comprising of three males and three females were utilized for the study. The studies were done using light microscopically methods. The animals were sacrificed by the method of decapitation and spinal cord was removed by splitting the vertebrae. The segments were fixed, processed, sectioned and stained with CFV for detailed studies of the spinal cord segments of the grasscutter. The result of the present study showed that the gray matter was stained dark purple due to the abundant presence of Nissl bodies in the neuronal cell bodies while the outer zone of white matter stained relatively lighter due to the presence of nerve fibers in the region. The result of the histometrical studies of cell areas in the anterior horn has the mean average of 2.56± 0.13 and the largest cell sizes of the cervical spinal cord was recordedin the anterior horn to be in 6.36± 0.16 while the posterior horn has the smallest cells with mean values of 3.86± 0.24. These findings can be useful in understanding the biology of the rodent.

Objective: The present investigation was aimed to assess the effect of Forskolin (FL) against cognitive impairment produced by scopolamine in rats using various behavioral models such as Y-maze, Novel object recognition test (NORT) and some biochemical markers of Alzheimer’s disease. Methods: Rats were assigned to six different groups, each group consisting of six animals. The normal animals received distilled water, 10 ml/kg per orally (p. o.), FL (250, 500,750 µg/kg, p. o.) was administered once daily for two weeks. One the last day of treatment, 90 min. post- administration of the last dose of forskolin, amnesia was produced in rats by administration of scopolamine (3 mg/kg) intraperitonealy (i.p.). Then rats were trained to Y-maze and NORT protocol. Short term memory behavioral responses were recorded after 90 min of training session (retention memory) and 24 h after training (long term memory). Donepazil (3 mg/kg, p. o.) was used as a standard and was administered for 14 days to positive control groups. Biochemical parameters such as reduced glutathione (GSH), Lipid Peroxidation (MDA) and acetylcholinesterase activity were analyzed. Results: Administration of different doses of FL (250, 500,750 µg/kg) once daily for two weeks significantly improved the learning ability and the retention of learned memory in Y-Maze and NORT. Moreover, pre-treatment with FL significantly restored increased lipid peroxidation; normalized glutathione and increased acetylcholinesterase activity. Conclusion: Forskolin enhances cognitive performances of rats against memory impairment by forskolin. Antioxidant activity, mainly inhibition of reactive oxygen species generation by natural diterpenoid compound forskolin advocates its therapeutic efficacy in treating neurodegenerative diseases.

Zanthoxylum budrunga is a tree worthy of investigation due to its many reported phytoconstituents and properties of rich medicinal value. A comprehensive study on the fruits, stems, and leaves of Z. budrunga was carried out to find out and assess the blood glucose lowering capacity as well as antioxidant potential. In vivo Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT) and in vitro 2, 2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) scavenging methods were applied to assess the hypoglycemic and antioxidant potentials of the plant extracts. Methanolic extract of Z. budrunga fruits (MZBF), methanolic extract of Z. budrunga stems (MZBS), and methanolic extract of Z. budrunga leaves (MZBL) showed graded dose-response relationship in OGTT. Most potent blood sugar level reduction was at the highest dose of 400mg/kg body weight with the values of 44.26%, 39.61%, and 36.98% for MZBF, MZBS, and MZBL respectively. Also MZBF, MZBS, and MZBL showed synergistic action with Glibenclamide with the value of 50.34, 43.02, and 45.11% blood glucose reduction, respectively. Comparative order of antioxidant activity was as fruits (IC50 30.6 ppm)>leaves (IC50 68.38 ppm)>stems (IC50 126.83 ppm) where ascorbic acid (IC50 0.17 ppm) was used as standard. The results indicate that Z. budrunga fruits, stems, and leaves have the potential to be used in hyperglycemic condition as folk medicine. Besides these, fruits and leaves may be used as functional food and preventive medicine for oxidative stress disorders like aging-induced disorders, neurodegenerative diseases, liver diseases, cancer etc.
