Skin wound healing especially when it occurs on the face or somewhere important for cosmetic reasons, is very significant physiological procedure. It is quite obvious that promoting this healing is important too. In this study we tried to compare the effects of Achillea millefolium and Zinc oxide on secondary intentioned open-wound healing in rats. Zinc oxide is being used worldwide as an absor...

Displacement of the abomasum is a common disease of the gastrointestinal tract in dairy cattle. Abomasal displacement has been associated with abomasal hypomotility. Therefore, it is necessary to identify effective therapeutic agents that stimulate abomasal motility in cattle. Yarrow (Achillea millefolium) is traditionally used as a folk remedy for treatment of human gastrointestinal c...

background: the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of methanolic extract of achillea millefolium l. (mea) on the antiproliferative activity of bleomycin on human prostate cancer and normal skin cells. materials and methods: human prostate cancer cell (du-145) and human non-malignant fibroblast cell (hfff2) were treated with mea at various concentrations ( 20, 100, 500, 1000 and 200...

Achillea millefolium belong to the asteraceae family and from genus achillea. In this study essential oils were extracted from all aerial parts via hydro distillation (HD) method by clevenger set . By using of gas chromatography/mass spectrometry ( GC-MS) technique the chemicals component essential oil were identified. About 41 components with were identified which encompassed 97.66 percent of ...

The mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) family, including extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK)1/2, c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK)1/2 and p38 MAPK, is known to be activated by ultraviolet (UV) radiation in melanocytes to regulate melanin production. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) play important roles in the pathway of ERK and JNK activation. It has been established that the essential oi...

BACKGROUND One of the best ways to control the malaria disease and to be protected human against Anopheles mosquito biting is the use of repellents. Throughout repellents, herbal ones may be an appropriate and safe source for protection. METHODS Chemical constituents of Achillea vermiculata and Satoreja hortensis were determined by using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Efficacy and the ...
