Abstract
Protein molecules are large and complex biomolecules molecules that play important roles as building blocks in the body. Every function of the body depends on the proteins. Tridax procumbens (Linn.) is used as a traditional herbal medicine in rural India for healing of wounds. (SRP Kethamakka et. al. 2014), [22] Wound healing is a complex biological process and consists of cellular remodeling; Tridax extract helps in fast wound healing and many cell types are involved and play a very important role in this process. (Manisha Mhaske et. al. 2016), [13] The medicinal property of Tridax procumbence has inspired the author for the protein histochemical study at vitelline blood vessels of 48 hrs and 96 hrs. chick embryo. (Sneha Mundada et. al 2010), [21]. This histochemical study reveals and compares protein content of the blood vessels in control and Tridax leaf extract treated samples. The author presented estimation of proteins and histochemical staining techniques of the proteins at tissue level. The author describes the Lowry method for quantitative estimation. (O.H. Lowry et.al.1951), [16] The histochemical protein staining performed by mercury bromophenol blue. The administration of Tridax plant leaf extract on developing blood vessels demonstrates the active effect on the blood vessels. The objective of this work is to find out and evaluate the healing effect of leaf extract histochemical and statistical analysis.
