Investigating the Mutagenic Effects of Piranhae Trifoliata Plant on Health and Traditional Medicine in Brazil

🌿 Many plant species in Brazil are used for medicinal purposes, but their pharmacological properties and toxicity are often unknown.

🔬 This study focuses on the mutagenic effects of Piranhae trifoliata and Allium sativum on joint meristem cells.

💡 The research was conducted under the guidance of Dr. Eraldo Ferreira Lopes and funded by a research foundation in Amazonas.

🌱 Plants like Piranhae trifoliata can have mutagenic effects, leading to cellular degeneration and organism death.

⚗️ Mutagenic tests are necessary to understand the properties and toxicity of plant extracts, which could potentially cause problems like cancer and sclerosis.

🌿 The study used the Hélio Cepa root meristem test to evaluate the mutagenic effects of the liofilized extract of Piranhae trifoliata, assessing the formation of micronuclei, chromosomal aberrations, and alterations in mitotic cycle.

🌿 The piranhae trifoliata plant, commonly used in traditional medicine, was studied to determine its mutagenic effects.

🧪 An experiment was conducted using onion bulbs to test the toxicity of the plant extract at different concentrations.

⚠️ After 24 hours of exposure to the piranhae trifoliata extract, the roots were removed for further analysis.

🔍 The video discusses the mutagenic effect of the Piranhae trifoliata plant.

🔬 The process of studying the plant involved fixing its roots, staining them with a specific reagent, and conducting acid hydrolysis.

🌱 The roots were then analyzed using microscopy and fragmented for further examination.

🌱 The study analyzed the mutagenic effect of Piranhae trifoliata on cells.

🧪 No significant differences were found in the mitotic index between the control group and the concentrations tested.

🔬 The results indicate that Piranhae trifoliata did not have a significant influence on cell mutation at the concentrations analyzed.

🔍 The study observed the effect of the Piranhae trifoliata plant on genetic mutations.

⚖️ The concentrations of the plant tested showed no significant influence on genetic mutations compared to the negative control, while the positive control (paracetamol) resulted in a high number of chromosomal aberrations.

🌿 This study is important as it provides evidence that the Piranhae trifoliata plant, widely used in traditional medicine, does not cause significant genetic mutations.

🌱 The Piranhae trifoliata plant has been studied for its mutagenic effects.

🔬 Further research is needed to evaluate the proliferation of cells and understand the properties of the plant.

📚 New studies should test different concentrations and extracts of the plant to compare their effects.
