Achillea millefolium (AM) is widely used in traditional medicine a wide geography due to its effects on the female reproductive system. However, effect uterine smooth muscle contractions unknown. Our study aims investigate of AM spontaneous and oxytocin-induced isolated rat contractions. Myometrial strips were obtained from 32 adult Wistar Albino rats. Contraction amplitudes frequencies recorde...

Oxidative stress is known to play a vital role in the progression of neurodegenerative diseases. The current treatment method primarily targets symptoms by using anti-Parkinson drugs such as levodopa, carbidopa, dopamine (DA) agonists, monoamine oxidase type B inhibitors, and anticholinergics replace DA. However, these pose severe side effects when used for prolonged time. Hence, there need con...

Abstract Introduction One of the most important health problems today is cancer. The aim this study was to investigate in vitro effect yarrow (Y) with known anticarcinogenic on Ehrlich ascites tumor (EAT). Materials and Methods above-ground part (300 g) Y macerated water extracted three times for 24 hours at 37°C a shaking bath. In study, EAT cells were divided into control, DMSO group 5-FU, 50...

BACKGROUND Possibly due to the small size of the olfactory bulb (OB) as compared to rodents, it was generally believed that songbirds lack a well-developed sense of smell. This belief was recently revised by several studies showing that various bird species, including passerines, use olfaction in many respects of life. During courtship and nest building, male European starlings (Sturnus vulgari...

1. Trade-offs between reproduction and growth are central assumptions of life-history theory, but their implications for sexual size dimorphism (SSD) are poorly understood. 2. Adult male Yarrow's spiny lizards Sceloporus jarrovii average 10% larger than adult females. In a low-altitude (1700 m) population, this SSD develops because males grow more quickly than females during the first year of l...

Data on the bionomics of Dryudella stigma (Panzer, 1809) in Poland are presented.
