The present study has designed to assess the levels of DNA damage in healthy individual. It was observed that plant coated Ag nanoparticle extract showed relatively higher antibacterial activity against Gm-ve bacteria as compared to Gm+ve bacteria that may be attributed to the morphology and chemical constituent of their cell wall. Bacopa monnieri Ag NPs extract was compared with the standard antibiotic (Gentamicin) by measuring zone of inhibition (in mm). The antibacterial study was carried out by following Kirby- Bauer’s Well diffusion assay method. Silver nanoparticle were synthesized by employing a single step synthesis method of Bio-reduction and were characterized by UV-VIS spectroscopy and SEMĪnalysis to confirm Ag NPs synthesis. Keeping in view the aforesaid facts, present investigation has been carried out to biologically synthesize the silver nanoparticles from Bacopa monnieri L., and to assess its antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus (Gm +ve) and E. Their combination produces a peerless drug. Silver being used as drug since ancient time and medicinal plants, the incredible gift of nature are directly linked as a remedy in diverse varieties of diseases. Nanoparticle research is the burning area of present time due to their incomparable and unique properties. As far as gender is concerned the effect of vitamin C on lipid profile in males was not significantly different from those in females. Vitamin C caused reduction in serum total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol significantly but it did not have any statistically significant effect on HDL-C, VLDL-C and triglycerides. Fasting blood samples were collected in the morning for estimation of cholesterol, triglycerides, HDL-C, LDL-C and VLDL-C on first day of the commencement of the study and second blood samples were taken after thirty days of supplementation and same estimations were carried out. The test group comprising 30 individuals were given 500mg vitamin C tablets one daily for 30 days and control group of 30 individuals were given placebo capsules(glucose 500mg) one daily for 30 days. A total of 60 healthy individuals (male and female) were selected randomly, instructed and given the understanding of the purpose of study. This study aims to assess the comparative effects of vitamin C supplementation on lipid profiles in male and female human subjects. The overall results of this study suggest that Cassia siamea can be a potential plant species to control the pollution of PM and PM-bound metals (Pb and Cd) in affected areas. There is a line of evidence that the leaf of Cassia siamea was able to entrap PM in respirable suspended particulate matter (RSPM) range (i.e., both in fine and coarse fractions). The SEM studies of leaf confirmed that leaf morphology (epidermis, trichome, and stomata) of Cassia siamea helped accumulate the toxic metals from deposited particulate matter (PM). Based on correlation analysis and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) observations, it was evident that Pb and Cd in foliar part of Cassia siamea were largely from airborne sources. The enrichment factor (EF) values of Pb and Cd, when derived using the crustal and measured soil Fe data as reference, indicated significant anthropogen-ic contributions to Pb and Cd regional pollution.
Bilaspur is located in a subtropical central Indian region. In order to investigate possible foliar transfer of toxic heavy metals, concentrations of Cd, Pb, and Fe were measured in samples of: Cassia siamea leaves (a common tree) Cassia siamea foliar dust, nearby road dust, and soil (Cassia siamea tree roots) at six different sites in/around the Bilaspur industrial area and a control site on the university campus.
