Biological Systems and Organisms

Herbal remedies has been used since time immemorial for the treatment of ailments such as malaria, diabetes, HIV, etc and for ameliorating endocrinological toxicity and heavy metal (e.g. lead, chromium, CCl4 etc) induced toxicity. The effects of herbal remedies and orthodox antiplasmodial drugs as well as the mitigating roles of herbs on induced heavy metals and endocrinological toxicity in biochemical systems are being researched on.
