Abstract: Malarial parasite, Plasmodium, has been reported resistant to commonly used antimalarial drugs, such as chloroquin. Plants of Artocarpus genus are known to have high content of flavonoids. One of interesting bioactivitics of Artocarpus flavonoids is their antimalarial activity. This research is to investigate the potency of secondary mctabolites in the heartwood and root bark of Artoc…
Oxidants and antioxidants imbalance in tissues might cause oxidative stress which could cause cell damage and dead. Malondialdehyde, a product of lipid peroxidation. often used as one of indicators to detect the oxidative stress damaged in tissues. Empirically, peo¬ple often used onion (Allium ascalonicum L.) after having high lipid diet. The aim of this research was to analyze effects of onio…
