background: we are aware of limited data about the effects of purslane on diabetes. earlier studies have mostly indicated the beneficial effects in animal models. this study aimed to evaluate the effect of purslane seeds on glycemic status and lipid profiles of persons with type 2 diabetes. materials and methods: this cross-over randomized controlled clinical trial was conducted on 48 persons w...

The effects of crude polysaccharide from Purslane (CPP) on body weight (bw), blood glucose, total cholesterol (TC), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-c), triglyceride (TG) and serum insulin levels were studied in diabetes mellitus mice. CPP treatment (200, 400 mg/kg bw) for 28 days resulted in a significant decrease in the concentrations of fasting blood glucose (FBG), TC and TG. Furthe...

Copper (Cu) is an essential trace element involved in normal reproduction but its over-exposure may produce some detrimental effects. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of purslane on copper sulfate poisoning on liver structures changes. Twenty eight wistar rats were randomly allocated to four treatment groups. Group I) Control, Group II) Copper sulfate (200 mg/kg bw were appl...

Abstract Purslane is a widespread wild vegetable with both medicinal and edible properties. It highly appreciated for its high nutritional value also considered as high-quality feed resource livestock poultry. In this study, Sanhuang broilers were used to investigate the effect of feeding purslane diets on growth performance in their gut microbiota. A total 48 birds good uniform weight selected...

The present study was to evaluate anti-cancer effects of Purslane seed oil (PSO) (200g/kg. diet), 5-Flourourasil (20mg/kg b.w. i.p) and their combinatorial formulation in female mice induced by Ehrlich ascites cells for 21 consecutive days prior. Ten days after intraperitoneal inoculation of tumor EAC cells in mice, PSO was supplemented at (200g/kg. diet) daily for 21 consecutive days. On the 2...

This investigation is designed to evaluate the potential hepato-protective effect of ethanolic and aqueous extracts of air-dried leaves of Purslane against paracetamol-induced hepato-toxicity, in an attempt to understand its mechanism of action, which may pave the way for possible therapeutic application. Paracetamol (1g/kg bw) administration to rats resulted in massive elevation in serum and h...

Purslane (Portulaca oleracea L.) and Jew's mallow (Corchorus olitorius leaves have several desirable characteristics as functional ingredients for the production of healthy new foods. In this study, influence extrusion conditions including material type, feed moisture content barrel temperature on techno-functional properties, phytochemical contents antioxidant activity rice-based extrudates co...
