the volatile constituents of the aerial parts of varthemia. persica dc. var. persica, growing wild in iran, were investigated by gc-ms. sixty seven constituents were identified. ?-cadinene (9.7%), selin-11-en-4-?-ol (5.30%), germacrene d (4.9%), bicyclogermacrene (4.7%), ??muurolene (4.7%), ?-eudesmol (4.52%), ?-himachalen oxide (3.6%), ?-eudesmol (3.54%), ?-bourbonene (3.21%) were found to be ...

Three types of phenolic acids (caffeic, ferulic, and chlorogenic acid) were identified quantified in two halophytic plants (Salicornia bigelovii Salicornia sinus-persica). Analysis was performed using a high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS) system via the standard addition method. The matrix effect (ME), recovery efficiency (RE), process (PE) parameters ev...

Trigonella foenum-graecum seed powder (TSP) has been reported to have hypoglycemic and hyperinsulinemic action. The objective of the study was to examine the antidiabetic and neuroprotective role of TSP in hyperglycemiainduced alterations in blood glucose, insulin levels and activities of membrane linked enzymes (NaKATPase, CaATPase), antioxidant enzymes (superoxide dismutase, glutathione S-tra...
