Neuro-inflammation is a reaction to brain injury involving the activation of glial cells and release of inflammatory mediators, such as cytokines and chemokines which has a key role in neuro-degenerative diseases. Periodontitis is a microbiome-related dental inflammation caused by gram- negative bacteria that leads to connective tissue destruction and loss of teeth. Previous studies demonstrated...

Opium poppy (Papaver somniferum L.) has two major products: alkaloids in the capsules and the seeds. It is known that opium poppy today contains alkaloid in great quantities. Opiate alkaloids and their synthetic derivatives are widely used in medicines which are produced in hundreds of tons for the medicine industry. The study aimed to screen the capsules of six Turkish opium poppy lines to eva...

The present study was aimed to impress the cytological, physiological, genetic, and morphological effects of essential oil obtained by hydro-distillation from Mentha longifolia (L.) HUDSON against maize seeds. These naturally occurred compounds can be used instead synthetic chemicals. To determine their biological activity, applied Zea mays L. seeds at different doses. It observed that germinat...

In order to conserve diverse species of citrus, an experiment on in vitro micropropagation and production synthetic seeds from regenerated plant propagules the species; Citrus aurantifolia (Lime) was carried out which shoot tips were found be suitable for excapsulation artificial seeds. Highest rate germination obtained when MS supplemented with 1 mg/l BAP. Beaded produced maximum (81.43%). Ger...

the oxidative stability of margarine supplemented with different concentrations of fennel (foeniculum vulgare) seed extract (fse) was compared to the synthetic antioxidants; butylated hydroxyanisole (bha) and butylated hydroxytoluene (bht) at legal concentrations. the experiment was carried out under accelerated storage conditions for 4 weeks employing peroxide value (pv), p-anisidine value (av...

in this study, the essential oil obtained by hydrodistillation of the seeds of vitex pseudo-negundo (verbenaceae), growing wild in sabzevar, khorasan razavi province, iran, were analyzed by gc and gc/ms. the yield of total volatiles was 0.8% (w/w). thirty-seven compounds representing 92.4% of the seed oil were identified. the main components of the oil were hexadecanoic acid (8.0%), elemol (7.0...

objective(s): this study aimed to develop drugs from natural sources to overcome the side effects of many of synthetic drugs. methanol extracts of both pericarp and seeds of pleiogynium solandri were used to investigate antioxidant, hepatoprotective, and renal function protective, analgesic, and anti-inflammatory effects and to determine the chemical composition of the extract responsible for b...
