Abstract:

Background: The effect of Bunium persicum (Boiss.) B. Fedtsch. on the metabolic syndrome and physical fitness of active people have been less studied. Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of B. persicum consumption on metabolic syndrome indices, muscle strength, and cardio-respiratory function in active middle-aged women. Method: The research method was quasi-experimental and 20 active middle-aged women were selected and were randomly divided into two experimental (n=10) and control (n=10) groups. The assessments were carried out in two stages (pre-supplementation and post-supplementation). The duration of supplementation was eight weeks (a 3.5 g B. persicum per day). Subjects’ general characteristics, cardio respiratory function, muscular strength, lipid profile, fasting blood sugar, blood pressure, and waist circumference were measured. To analyze the data, two factor analysis of variance with repeated measurements was used at the significant level of P<0.05. Results: B. persicum consumption decreased triglyceride level, while has no significant effects on body weight, body fat percent, body mass index, waist circumference, fasting blood sugar, HDL-c, total cholesterol, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, upper body muscle strength, lower body muscle strength, and cardio respiratory function. Conclusion: The consumption of B. persicum for eight weeks and 3.5 g daily improves triglyceride levels in active middle-aged women, but does not seem to have an impact on other indicators of metabolic syndrome and selected components of physical fitness.

Effect of Vitamin D Supplement Consumption on Muscle Strength, Muscle Function and Body Composition in Vitamin D-deficient Middle-aged Women: A Randomized Clinical Trial

Background and Objectives: Sarcopenia is explained as the loss of muscle strength and muscle mass with aging&sbquo; and is one of the major risk factors for metabolic diseases. Cross-sectional studies demonstrate that vitamin D is associated with sarcopenia in both men and women. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of vitamin D supplement consumption on muscle strength, muscle f...

Synergistic Effect of Zataria multiflora Boiss. and Bunium persicum (Boiss.) B. Fedtsch. Essential Oils on Linseed Oil Oxidative Stability

We studied the antioxidant activities of the essential oils of Zataria multiflora Boiss. (ZEO) and Bunium persicum (Boiss.) B. Fedtsch (BEO) in mixed form on linseed oil using (DPPH•), ­(­ABTS•+), H2O2 scavenging, and reducing power assays. After calculation of IC50 for ZEO and BEO separately, interactions of the essential oils were investigated at the form of mixture and the results were given...

Karyotyping and in situ chromosomal localization of rDNA sites in black cumin Bunium persicum (Boiss) B. Fedtsch,1915 (Apiaceae)

The fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) technique has been applied to somatic chromosomes in the medicinally important species, Bunium persicum, to elucidate its karyotypes. The bicolour FISH technique involving 18S-5.8S-26S and 5S ribosomal RNA genes as probes was used to assign physical localization and measurement of rDNA sites on homologous pairs of chromosomes. The two 18S-5.8S-26S rR...
