Abstract The most medically representative plant in the Apocynaceae family is Vinca minor . a perennial, herbaceous plant, commonly known as Saschiu. In present research we aimed to isolate indole compounds from L. and carry out some physico-chemical studies on these compounds: UV-VIS spectroscopy determination of polyphenols content using Folin-Ciocâlteu method. spectrophotometric study alcoho...

  Abstract An investigation was undertaken to ascertain the influence of hydro-alcoholic solutions on plant growth as well as quality attributes of strawberry fruits. The mother plants of strawberry (Fragaria ananasa cv. Gaviota) were subjected to various aqueous solutions of ethanol (15, 30%), methanol (15, 30%) and the mixture of ethanol + methanol (15 or 30%) plus the control (water only) as...

Red wines produced in warm climates generally possess a lower content of phenolic compounds and color structure than those colder climates, which hinders bottle evolution. To improve these properties, cold maceration could be useful procedure. study the effect this technique, Tempranillo, Merlot Syrah grape varieties cultivated Jerez area (Southwest Spain) were macerated at 4 °C for ten days be...

malonyl-coa decarboxylase (mcd) is an enzyme involved in the decarboxylation of malonyl-coa to acetyl-coa. in order to explore the hypothesis that the changing plant materials’ mcd activity level can serve as therapy to diabetics, the effect of teucrium polium compounds was studied in a diabetic rat model. in this experimental study, two groups of rats, a control and a diabetic group, each incl...

background: olive ( olea europea ), from the oleaceae family, is known as a phytoestrogen plant compound, containing lignans and phenolic compounds. some studies have shown phytoestrogens to have spermatogenesis-decreasing effects. objective: the present study investigated the effects of a hydro-alcoholic extract of olive fruit on reproductive argons in male rats. materials and methods: the hyd...

introduction methanol is a highly toxic substance and methanol poisoning results in severe health situations. methanol poisoning occurs when it is consumed by various methods such as orally, by inhalation, and transdermally. transdermal poisoning is rarely seen and causes severe health complications. conclusions methanol poisoning presents to the emergency department in our country with many di...

Alcoholic liver disease, including acute alcoholic hepatitis and alcoholic cirrhosis, is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in the Western world. Abstinence remains the cornerstone of management of all forms of alcoholic liver disease. Recent research, which has elucidated the mechanisms of alcohol-induced liver injury, offers the prospect of advances in the management of alcoholic liver ...

BACKGROUND/AIMS Alcoholic cirrhosis remains a controversial indication for liver transplantation, mainly because of ethical considerations related to the shortage of donor livers. The aim of this study was to review experience to date, focusing on survival rates and complications, and the effect of alcohol relapse on outcome and alterations in marital and socioprofessional status. METHODS The...
