different species of artemisia (asteraceae) have shown to exhibit antitumor activity. the aim of this study was to identify the antiproliferative effect of artemisia aucheri boiss (a.aucheri) from iran on cultured human cancer cells. aerial parts of artemisia aucheri boiss. were collected from chahar bagh region (2150 m altitude, sep. 2011),golestan province, iran.the dried powdered aerial part...

background and objectives: otostegia persica (burm.) boiss. is an endemic plant of iran with various applications in traditional medicine which contains of several antioxidant constituents. this research was aimed to investigate the effect of hydroalcoholic extract from o. persica aerial parts in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (huvecs) using hydrogen peroxide (h2o2) as an inducer of oxi...

In this study, the hepatoprotective effect of the methanol extract of aerial parts (shoot) from Otostegia persica Boiss (Golder) was investigated against the carbon tetrachloride (CCl4)-induced acute hepatotoxicity in male rats. Liver damage was induced through the oral administration of 50% CCl4 in liquid paraffin (2.5 mL/Kg bw, per os) 60 min after the administration of the methanol extract o...

Karyotypes of ten sections of genus Trigonella Linnaeus, 1753 (Fabaceae) from Turkey were investigated. Somatic chromosome numbers of examined species were determined as 2n=14 and 16. The karyotype analyses of the species were carried out and somatic chromosome numbers of Trigonella plicata Boiss., 1872, Trigonella brachycarpa (Fisch.) Moris, 1833, Trigonella rostrata Boiss., 1872, Trigonella l...
