carum carvi (cc) is a grassy plant which is believed to have several therapeutic effects, including anti-asthmatic properties. we have therefore studied the bronchodilatory and anticholinergic effects of this plant. the bronchodilatory effects of the aqueous extract (ae), macerated extract (me), essential oil (eo), and 4µm theophylline (t) in comparison with saline (s) were examined by their re...

the β2-adrenergic effects of macerated extract, aqueous extract, ethanol extract, and essential oil of carum copticum, 5 nm propranolol, and saline were tested by performing cumulative log concentration-response curves of isoprenaline-induced relaxation of precontracted isolated guinea pig tracheal chains in three different conditions including: non-incubated (group 1, n=9) incubated with 1 µm ...

the purpose of this study was to elucidate some factors affecting the growth of salmonella typhimurium. these factors included carum copticum essential oil (0%, 0.015%, 0.03% and 0.06%), temperature (25 ˚c and 35 ˚c), ph (5, 6 and 7) and inoculum size (103 and 105  cfu ml-1). brain heart infusion broth was used as the growth medium. there were 48 treatment combinations and the experiment was ca...
