introduction: there are some evidences that the matricaria recutita extract has sedative effects and relieves symptoms of morphine withdrawal syndrome. symptoms of this syndrome are due to increased expression of fos transcription factor in brain. in this study the effect of chronic hydro alcoholic extract (30 mg/kg) of matricaria recutita on jumping behavior and expression of fos transcription...

Heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) is one of the most abundant and conserved chaperone proteins and plays important roles in plant growth and responses to environmental stimuli. However, little is known regarding the sequence and function of Hsp90s in Matricaria recutita. In the present study, we cloned the full-length cDNA sequence of the hsp90 gene from this species. Using rapid amplification of c...

H emorrhoids are a very common condition. Hospitalbased proctoscopy studies show prevalence rates of hemorrhoids in up to 86 percent of patients studied with many in an asymptomatic state. Botanicals used internally and topically can treat early stages of hemorrhoids effectively and can be used as adjuncts in more advanced stages when surgical treatments may be necessary. The roles of butcher’s...

evaluation of essential oil yield, morphological and phenological traits of seven populations of twochamomilespecies )matricaria aurea and m. recutita), were carried out using randomized completely blocks design (rcbd) in three replications in alborz research station in karaj, iran during 2011-2012. data were collected for 12 morphological and phenological traits. analysis of variance showed si...

Purpose Chamomile is a traditional herb known for its calming effects. We are conducting a long-term, randomized, placebo-substitution study of chamomile for the prevention of recurrent Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) in individuals who have responded to initial, open-label chamomile therapy. We present preliminary results from the trial’s open label phase to offer initial evidence of safety...

Plant habit and production of secondary metabolites in chamomile plants depend on endogenous and exogenous factors that can be divided into two groups (FRANZ 1982): a) morpho-ontogenetic variability, b) genetic variability or genetic determinateness. The activity of these factors is reflected in biomass production, flower drug production, content and composition of essential oil and some other ...
