For thousands of years in Asia, Althaea rosea Cavanil (ARC) and Plantago major L. (PML) have been used as powerful non-toxic therapeutic agents that inhibit inflammation. However, the anticancer mechanisms and molecular targets of ARC and PML are poorly understood, particularly in epidermal growth factor (EGF)-induced neoplastic cell transformation. The aim of this study was to evaluate the che...

In many publications the term “elaioplasts” denotes, in accordance with the meaning, plastids containing lipids [1,2]. However, in the past this name was used according to Wakker [3] who was the first to apply it with reference to lipidic structures, often as big as a cell nucleus, which he identified in five Vanilla species. Similar structures were later described in more than 120 species belo...

OBJECTIVE There has been a growing interest in finding plants with biological active ingredients for medicinal application. MATERIALS AND METHODS Three colors of petals of Althaea officinalis (A. officinalis) flowers, i.e., pink, reddish pink, and white were examined for total antioxidant activity and flavonoids content. RESULTS The reddish pink flowers of A. officinalis have more antioxidan...

Antioxidant activity of Berry (Morus alba var. nigra) was investigated. For superoxide anion radical assay, the superoxide anion radicals were generated by a pyrogallol auto oxidation system, Nitric oxide radical inhibition by the use of Griess Illosvoy reaction and reducing power was determined according to the Oyaizu method. At least this sample was represented a potential antioxidant capacit...
