Abstract
Dinothrombium tinctorium, the mites of family Thrombididea, are administered routinely in the Unani system of medicine, with reference to human fertility regulation. These mites have been found rich in steroidal hormones and lipids, the probable cause of their therapeutic property. The present Ott dy looks at a yet unexplored aspect of these mites, clinical chemistry, through quantification of ions like calcium, phosphorus, potassium and sodium, in addition to -parameters such as creatinine, uric acid, bilirubin, alkaline phosphatase, albumins, globulins, urea, high density lipoproteins, low density lipoproteins, lactate dehydrogenase, creatine phosphokinase, glutamate oxaloacetate transaminase and glutamate pyruvate transaminase.
