background: it has been reported that epilepsy is a disorder of the central nervous system that causes memory impairment. this study examines the role of the aqueous extract of boswellia on the learning disability of the pentylenetetrazol (ptz)‑induced kindled rats. methods: in this experimental study, 64 male rats were used. kindling seizures were induced by three injections of 25 mg/kg of ptz...

the genus boswellia is one of the 17 genera belonging to burseraceae family. in this study resin of boswellia carteri birdwoodcollected or purchased from tehram herbal market as a food and non-food for chemical analysis. the essential oils of the resins of boswellia carteri birdwoodobtained by different methods of distillation (water distillation, steam distillation and hydro-steam distillation...

objective: the hippocampal formation, particularly the dentate gyrus (dg), shows age-related morphological changes that could cause memory decline. it is indicated that boswellia resins attenuates memory deficits and the major component of boswellia serrata (bs) gum resin, beta boswellic acid increased neurite outgrowth and branching in hippocampal neurons. this study was designed to investigat...

OBJECTIVE To assess evidence from randomised clinical trials about the effectiveness of extracts of Boswellia serrata (frankincense). DESIGN Systematic review. DATA SOURCES Electronic searches on Medline, Embase, Cinahl, Amed, and Cochrane Library. Hand searches of conference proceedings, bibliographies, and departmental files. REVIEW METHODS All randomised clinical trials of B serrata ex...

introduction candidiasis as an opportunistic infection is created by some species of candida. here the role of candida albicans is more noticeable than other species. candida can cause an extended spectrum of symptoms. due to the increasing consumption of immunosuppressants including corticosteroids and diseases like diabetes, candidiasis has drawn more attention than before. methods considerin...

objective it has previously been shown that prenatal maternal administration of boswellia serrata gum resin (frankincense) improved learning and memory performance associated with an increase in the size of neuronal bodies in ca3 (cornu ammonis) of hippocampus. continuing the previous work, a morphometric study was designed on ca3 field to examine precisely the effect of prenatal administration...

The synthesis, characterization and application of biologically synthesized nanomaterials have become an important branch of nanotechnology. In this paper, we report the synthesis of highly dispersed silver nanoparticles using a dried stem bark of Boswellia ovalifoliolata. Bark extract as the reducing agent and tested the effect on seed germination and seedling growth. After exposing the silver...
