BACKGROUND Aflatoxins are toxic fungal metabolites enable to contaminate a wide range of natural substrates. This contamination can be host-specific for different plant species. In this study, the ability of a toxigenic Aspergillus parasiticus to produce various aflatoxins on major Iranian cereals was evaluated with special focus on plant susceptibility to toxin production at cultivar level. ...

Few previous investigations show that Carum Carvi (CC) may control pain in both animal and human. The aim of this work was to assess the role of CC on acute and chronic pain in formalin test in mice. In this study male albino mice (25-30 g) were used. CC (100 and 500 mg/kg) and saline were injected 30 min before formalin test. Indexes of signs were licking and foot elavation for assessment of a...
