Aim of this study is to confirm and investigate the diuretic effect of crocine which is the pharmacologically active component of Crocus sativus L. (saffron) and to study the possible mechanism of action in relation to urinary nitrite. Twenty four rats were divided into 3 groups; control, hydrochlorothiazide and crocine treated groups. Assay of the diuretic activity of crocine was performed by ...

Host–microbiome interactions are specific and not random, making them defining entities for the host. The hypothesis proposed by various researchers earlier, that both plants animals harbor inheritable core microbiome, is being augmented in present study. Additionally, a case using microbial fingerprint as biomarker, only plant identification but also geographical indicator, has been investigat...
