application of most antibiotic growth promoters as feed additives has been banned in a lot of countries due to cross-resistance against pathogens and residues in tissues. therefore, scientists are searching for alternatives to antibiotics nowadays. medicinal plant extracts are one of the alternatives that have anti-microbial and growth promoting effect on poultry. in this paper, the benefits of...

Herein, we report the occurrence of four new compounds in ethanolic extract Albizia coriaria Welw ex. Oliver leaves along with other previously reported this species. The were isolated and characterized using column chromatography, Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. FTIR spectrum showed phenolic OH stretching (3362.30 cm-1), C=O (1660.08 CO (1369.46 cm-1 131...

Sumac (Rhus coriaria L.) is used as an herbal remedy in traditional medicine. The aim of this study was to determine the effects of sumac (R. coriaria) on serum glycemic status, apolipoprotein (apo) B, apoA-I and total antioxidant capacity (TAC) in type 2 diabetic patients. This double blind randomized controlled clinical trial was conducted on 41type 2 diabetic volunteers randomly assigned int...

In this study, the therapeutic effects of Pistacia terebinthus L. subsp. Palaestina (terebinth) and Rhus coriaria L (sumac) plants on DMBA-induced breast cancer in 66 female Sprague-Dawley rats were investigated through biochemical analysis. The divided into 6 groups as Control, DMBA (7.12-Dimethylbenzanthracene), PT (terebinth), RC (sumac), PT+DMBA RC+DMBA. was administered to 8-week-old via g...

BACKGROUND Sumac (Rhus coriaria L.) has been used in traditional treatment of some diseases. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of sumac (R. coriaria L.) powder on insulin resistance (IR), malondialdehyde (MDA), high sensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), and paraoxonase 1 (PON1) activity in type 2 diabetic patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS A double-blind randomized placebo contr...

Here, we investigated the anticancer effect of Rhus coriaria on three breast cancer cell lines. We demonstrated that Rhus coriaria ethanolic extract (RCE) inhibits the proliferation of these cell lines in a time- and concentration-dependent manner. RCE induced senescence and cell cycle arrest at G1 phase. These changes were concomitant with upregulation of p21, downregulation of cyclin D1, p27,...
