BACKGROUND Ethanolic extract of licorice root has been shown to reduce low-density lipoprotein (LDL) oxidation in atherosclerotic mice and in both hypercholesterolemic and normal lipidemic humans. OBJECTIVE This study examined the effect of licorice-root extract on carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) in individuals with hypercholesterolemia. DESIGN Individuals with hypercholesterolemia (t...

background: this study compared the effect of adjunctive low dose doxycycline and licorice on gingival crevicular fluid (gcf) matrix metalloproteinase-8 (mmp-8) levels in patients with chronic periodontitis. materials and methods: in this in vivo , experimental study 39 patients with mild to moderate chronic periodontitis were selected. samples of gcf were collected from three deepest pockets a...

in order to evaluate the effect of different mechanical treatments (application of sulphuric acid, boiling water and flooding) on seed dormancy breaking of licorice, an experiment was carried out in randomized complete block design in 2012. moreover, a factorial scheme in rcbd was performed to assess the application of giberalic acid and potassium nitrate treatment as well as stratification and...

Licorice is a commonly used traditional Chinese medicine and natural sweetening agent, rich in numerous bioactive compounds. Moreover, it one of the oldest most frequently employed folk medicines both eastern western countries. It prescribed for treatment asthma, fever, cough. However, with increasing demand licorice, its quality safety become important issue. The content licorice varies signif...

Helicobacter pylori is the causative agent of gastritis and peptic ulcer disease. Eradication of H. pylori is hard to achieve and often require multiple antibiotics regimens. These regimens are quite expensive and have substantial side effects. Licorice is a traditional drug which is frequently used for gastric discomforts in Iran. The susceptibility of H. pylori to the extract of licorice has ...

This paper motivates and describes a non-alethic approach to faultless disagreement involving predicates of personal taste (PPTs). In section 1 I describe problems faced by Sundell’s (2011) indexicalist approach, and MacFarlane’s (2014) relativist approach. In section 2 I develop an alternative, non-alethic, approach. The non-alethic approach is broadly expressivist in that it endorses both the...

Licorice is mainly used to treat cough in clinics. After being roasted with honey, licorice has a cardiac protective effect. Due its different sources, the chemical components are also diverse. To distinguish compounds between three sources of raw (RL) and honey-roasted (HRL), UPLC-QTOF-MS/MS method was established. Eighteen batches samples were analyzed which derived from Glycyrrhiza uralensis...
