Objective: Plant extracts are of considerable interest because of their antiepileptic activities. However, the mechanisms of action are not clearly defined. Materials and Methods: Here, the effects of Artemisia dracunculus L. (tarragon) leaves extract on excitability and electrophysiological characteristics of snail neurones were investigated, using an intracellular recording technique. Results...

BACKGROUND Leishmaniasis is a parasitic disease that appears with a range of symptoms including cutaneous, mucocutaneous, and visceral leishmaniasis. The present study sought to determine the antileishmanial effect of the extract of Artemisia dracunculus (Tarragon) compared to control treatment with pentavalent antimony (meglumine). METHODS This experimental study was performed in 2014-2015. ...

An ethanolic extract of Russian tarragon, Artemisia dracunculus L., with antihyperglycemic activity in animal models was reported to decrease phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK) mRNA expression in STZ-induced diabetic rats. A quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) assay was developed for the bioactivity-guided purification of the compounds within the extract that decrease PEPCK exp...

In this study, tarragon (Artemisia dracunculus L.) the amount of antioxidants and phenolic substances water-based extracts in various concentrations (25g/L, 50g/L, 100g/L) with aroma components plant was determined. Various food pathogens (Escherichia coli ATCC 25922, Salmonella enterica 13076, Listeria monocytogenes 43251) bacterial strains ((Gram-negative (Vibrio harveyi (KF443058), Vibrio vu...

ABSTRACT The study was conducted to determine the effects of stocking density (SD, 5 or 7 layers/cage) and tarragon (Artemisia dracunculus L.) diet supplementation at four levels (0, 1.2, 6 12 g/kg feed) on performance, certain egg characteristics, serum, liver, yolk small intestine bacteria parameters in laying hens. experiment carried out over a period 8 weeks, with 192 Lohman Brown commercia...

this study was designed to investigate the effects of different levels of tarragon powder on performance, carcass characteristics of broiler chickens. two hundred ross 308 male broiler chickens were randomly allocated into four treatments and five replicates per treatment. at each replicate ten birds were used. experimental diets were set on the basis of corn-soy-wheat and ross 308 broiler chic...
