Serenoa Framework (R2)

Extensive clonal spread and extreme longevity in saw palmetto, a foundation clonal plant.

The lack of effective tools has hampered out ability to assess the size, growth and ages of clonal plants. With Serenoa repens (saw palmetto) as a model, we introduce a novel analytical framework that integrates DNA fingerprinting and mathematical modelling to simulate growth and estimate ages of clonal plants. We also demonstrate the application of such life-history information of clonal plant...

Saw Palmetto (Serenoa repens) and One of Its Constituent Sterols -Sitosterol [83-46-5] Review of Toxicological Literature

Effectiveness on urinary symptoms and erectile function of Prostamev Plus® vs only extract Serenoa repens.

Prostatic inflammation is widespread in the male population. Two groups of 50 patients each with symptoms of prostatic inflammation and ecocolorDoppler indicative of prostatitis were identified. Both groups were further subdivided into two subgroups (respectively A1, A2, B1, and B2). Group A1 underwent therapy with oral levofloxacin 500 mg daily for 10 days plus co-treatment with oral Serenoa r...

The spatial signature of biotic interactions of a clonal and a non-clonal palmetto in a subtropical plant community

Spatial analyses of plant-distribution patterns can provide inferences about intraand interspecific biotic interactions. Yet, such analyses are rare for clonal plants because effective tools (i.e., molecular markers) needed to map naturally occurring clonal individuals have only become available recently. Clonal plants are unique in that a single genotype has a potential to spatially place new ...

An experimental study of the effectiveness of the portal vein as a hepatic outflow tract.

A pilot study evaluated the efficacy of the drug afalaza (mixture of affinity purified antibodies to PSA and endothelial NO-synthase) compared with the Serenoa repens extract in a model of chronic abacterial prostatitis in Wistar rats caused by suturing of prostate tissue by silk thread. Except for the animals of intact group, rats (n = 13 in each group) underwent intraperitoneal injection of d...
