The alkali metal lithium is known to produce a number of effects in plants and animals. Lithium salts have been an important tool in dissecting the intracellular pathways of signal transduction systems. Lithium induces an increase in diacylglycerol (DAG) in animal cell culture; the mechanism of this effect is not fully understood. Brami et al. (1993) suggest that lithium may alter the degradati...

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic condition of the intestine with unknown etiology involving multiple immune, genetic and environmental factors. We were interested to examine the effect of total extract from Zataria multiflora Boiss, a folk medicinal plant on prevention and treatment of experimental IBD.

This work deals with the effects of the alcoholic extracts of 15 plants (collected from the northern region of Pakistan) on isolated guinea-pig ileum preparation. Dried powdered plant material was extracted with alcohol. The extract obtained after the removal of the alcohol was triturated with pet-ether (40-60°) and then charcoaled, filtered and dried under vacuum. The isolated guinea-pig ileum...
