Objective: To investigate the antioxidant and adaptogenic activities of Triphala, an Indian Ayurvedic medicinal preparation. Materials and Methods: Antioxidant activity of Triphala was determined by hydroxyl and nitric oxide radical scavenging methods. Adaptogenic activity was studied using swim endurance, anoxic stress tolerance and chronic stress induced behavioral despair test models. Triphala was administered at the dosage levels of 100 to 500 mg/kg b.w.p.o. Results and Discussion: Triphala was found to scavenge hydroxyl and nitric oxide radicals in vitro. The IC50 value for hydroxyl radical scavenging was 40.5 μg/mL and that for nitric oxide radical scavenging was found to be 40 μg/mL, respectively. Oral administration of Triphala formulation significantly improved the stress tolerance by increasing the swim duration (762.28 ± 7.17 minute), anoxic stress tolerance duration (39.11 ± 1.05 minute) and reduced the stress induced increase in the immobility period (61.11 ± 3.42 seconds) in chronic shock induced stress. Conclusion: Triphala has been found to be an excellent scavenger of hydroxyl radicals and nitric oxide radicals, whose excessive formation is implicated in oxidative stress. Triphala is capable of increasing the capacity to tolerate non-specific stress in experimental animals as evident from the restoration of parameters studied during different types of stress models.Keywords

Underpricing of the IPO's and market efficiency play a crucial role in the primary markets as suggested by asymmetric information models. Under pricing is where issuers intentionally offer the share prices in the primary markets below their fair value. Market Efficiency helps in identifying the fair value of the shares. On the first day of trading if the prices of the respective company's shares increase it is evidence of undervaluation or vice versa. This paper tries to ascertain the relevance ofthe asymmetric information models for the IPO's listed on National Stock Exchange (NSE) between periods 2001-2010. The second aspect of study in this paper is on the interpretation of several alternative behavioral theories of IPO pricing and their extent of relevance in the Indian primary market. The results agree with the asymmetric information models and strongly disagree with the hypothesis suggested by various behavioral theories.- Protective Effect of Curcuma longa Rhizomes against Physical Stress-Induced Perturbations in Rats
