background: dysmenorrhea is a common gynecologic disorder affecting as many as 60% of menstruating women. in the united states, work absenteeism due to dysmenorrhea is estimated to be 600 million work hours per year, and the economic consequences are estimated at $2 billion per year; therefore, it is a public problem nowadays. aim: the purpose of this study was to compare the effects of combina...

a wide range of medicinal plant parts that possess varied medicinal properties are used for extracts as raw drugs. in this study, the ethanolic extract obtained from aerial parts of fennel (foeniculum vulgare mill.) seedlings was evaluated in vitro to examine their antimicrobial activity against four gram-negative and three gram-positive bacteria and two fungi. aerial parts of one-month-old see...

plant tissue culture technique could provide sterile and controllable condition in order to assay direct effect of different compounds on plant growth accurately. in this study, the effects of aqueous extracts prepared from roots and shoots of goosefoot (chenopodium album l.), redroot pigweed (amaranthus retroflexus l.), fennel (foeniculum vulgare), and wormwood (artemisia absinthium l.) were e...

a 3 × 3 factorial experiment with three levels of fennel extract (fe) (0, 50, and 100 mg/kg of diet) and three levels of added vitamin d3 (vit d3) (0, 3500 and 4200 iu/kg of diet), was carried out to evaluate reproductive performanceand immune response of post molted broiler breeders(76-84 weeks).broiler breeders were weighed at 10 week after molting (74 weeks) then randomly distributed into 36...

Foeniculum vulgare Mill. (fennel) is used to flavor food, in cosmetics, as an antioxidant, and to treat microbial, diabetic and common inflammation. No study to date, however, has assessed the anti-inflammatory effects of fennel in experimental models of inflammation. The aims of this study were to investigate the anti-inflammatory effects of fennel in model of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced ...

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of fennel ethanol extract on egg production, serum parameters, and bone attributes of laying hens administered carbon tetrachloride (CCl4). A total of 192 Hy-Line W-36 laying hens were assigned to four treatments of four replications in a completely randomized design for 9 weeks (36-44 weeks of age). Experimental groups consisted of 1) positiv...
