Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
Anthocyanins, polyphenolic compounds abundant in certain foods, are
responsible for the orange-red to blue-violet hues evident in many
fruits, vegetables, cereal grains, and flowers. Interest in these
pigments has intensified due to their potential health-promoting
properties as dietary antioxidants, as well as their use as natural
dyes in a variety of products. Mechanistic studies from in vitro
experiments as well as in vivo clinical trials demonstrate
wide-ranging efficacy and biological activity of anthocyanins.
Anthocyanins in Health and Disease presents the first comprehensive
review of modern-day research on the relationship of anthocyanins
to human health and disease. Written by an interdisciplinary group
of distinguished scientists, this book examines the
bioavailability, chemistry, metabolism, and efficacy of
anthocyanins, as well as their role in protecting the body from
several age- and obesity-related chronic diseases. Chapters cover
the absorption, digestion, metabolism, and excretion of
anthocyanins; current methodology for the assessment of
anthocyanins in the blood, plasma, urine, and tissues; and
anthocyanins as potent antioxidants. The book discusses
health-related topics such as anthocyanins and protection against
disease, including cardiovascular disease, metabolic syndrome,
type-2 diabetes, and cancers of the gastrointestinal tract. It also
addresses health-promoting effects of anthocyanins, namely,
maintenance of normal vision and prevention of ocular pathologies,
protective effects against skin aging, and their role in innate
immunity and exercise. Covering a wide array of specialized
knowledge, this book provides an authoritative source of
information on the role of anthocyanins in health and disease, an
important step toward advancing research and enhancing
communication on these functional ingredients.

Sunflower is an important edible oilseed crop in India. The major
constraint in profitable sunflower cultivation is the
susceptibility to Alternaria leaf spot / blight caused by A.
helianthi. This has necessitated to study the implications of seed
borne nature of A. helianthi of sunflower on seed quality and to
find out suitable method for detection of A. helianthi. Studies on
cultural, morphological and molecular variation of A. helianthi
isolates collected from different locations in Andhra Pradesh were
also made. Significant adverse effects of A. helianthi on seed
quality parameters viz., germination, seed vigour and moisture
content and oil content were also observed. Among different
detection methods, Sunflower leaf extract medium (SLEM) was found
best in detection of the pathogen in the infected seed samples.
Molecular variability of A. helianthi isolates using RAPD analysis
with 43 random primers indicated distinct RAPD bands in OPM 16,
OPC11 and OPBC 2 markers. Irrespective of districts and genotypes,
isolates collected from sunflower seed samples does not exhibit any
correlation between cultural, morphological and molecular
characters studied.
This book (hardcover) is part of the TREDITION CLASSICS. It
contains classical literature works from over two thousand years.
Most of these titles have been out of print and off the bookstore
shelves for decades. The book series is intended to preserve the
cultural legacy and to promote the timeless works of classical
literature. Readers of a TREDITION CLASSICS book support the
mission to save many of the amazing works of world literature from
oblivion. With this series, tredition intends to make thousands of
international literature classics available in printed format again
- worldwide.
His zealous and intrepid defense of the orthodox faith and his
contribution to handling the external affairs of the Eastern Church
were by no means the whole service to which St. Basil the Great
devoted his considerable talents. His life both exemplified and
shaped the ascetical movement of his time. After renouncing a
brilliant career as rhetorician, he traveled widely, studying the
various forms of asceticism practiced in Eastern Christendom. On
his return, he retired in the year 358 to a place near Neocaesarea
to put into practice the best of what he had seen, and there
disciples soon joined him. When his friend Gregory of Nazianzus
visited him there in 358, he began to write his Rules and other
works that have had great importance in promoting and regulating
the common life of monasticism. This life, regulated and freed from
excess, as an expression of the law of charity was to be the monk's
path to union with God. Basil's concept of the monastic ideal,
socially directed and moderate without being lax, became the
fundamental concept of Greek and Slavonic monasticism, and it
influenced St. Benedict in legislating for Western monasticism. The
ascetical writings of St. Basil contained in this volume, addressed
to both monks and laymen, are of prime importance for understanding
the role their author played in the Church of the fourth century
and, through his influence, still plays today.
