Ameliorative effect of Ficus dalhousiae Miq. (Moraceae) methanolic leaf extract on carbon tetrachloride induced hepatic and renal toxicity

“…The characteristic vibration in aromatic ring skeleton was obtained at 1605, 1518 and 1442 and also 1360 cm −1 recognized for the aromatic skeleton vibration and O-CH 3 , C-H deformation symmetry. The band near 1250 and 1050 cm −1 appeared mainly due to aromatic C-O, C-H and C=O out of plane deformation (23). The obtained characteristic peaks in FdLM also suggest that this fraction contains aromatic moiety having a strong free radical scavenging capacity.…”

“…Overall histopathological examination showed a protective effect of FdLM on CCl 4 induced hepatotoxicity. The FTIR spectrum of methanolic extract of F. dalhousiea bark showed a wide absorption peak band at 3410-3460 cm −1 , which correspond to the stretching of O-H groups in phenolic and aliphatic structures and oscillation of the hydroxyl group (23). It was reported that, the phenolic mobile hydrogen atom (Ar-OH) plays the significant role in the scavenging of reactive free radicals (like SOD and ROS) (24).…”

Decolourization and Biological Treatment of Pulp and Paper Mill Effluent by Lignin-Degrading Fungus Aspergillus flavus Strain F10

“…The reduction in polyphenolic content is the clear sign that the fungus utilize polyphenol efficiently. Fungus ligninolytic enzymatic system reduced these polyphenol into small monomeric fractions, which were ultimately consumed by the fungus as a carbon source (Barapatre et al, 2015). In the static condition the % reduction of lignin and carbohydrate content was high as compare to shaking condition, which might be due to the production of high amount of ligninolytic enzymes.…”

“…Total carbohydrate (by Anthron), reducing sugar (by DNS method) and total phenolic content (by Folin-Denis method) content were also quantified before and after Decolourisation experiments (Hedge et al, 1962;Miller, 1959;Barapatre et al, 2015).…”
