BACKGROUND Protecting the environment from chemical hazards of synthetic insecticides along with offering of new breeding areas for vectors by urbanization indicate the trial of natural insecticides. METHODS The acetone extracts of Anethum graveolens, Ocimum basilicum and Thymus vulgaris were tested for their insecticidal effect on Culex pipiens adults and larvae in different concentrations d...

Aim. There is evidence that Anethum graveolens (AG) has been used for centuries in Asian traditional medicine, and its constituents have useful effects on the control and management of diabetes and cardiovascular disorders. AG has many useful effects, including hypolipidemic and hypoglycemic effects, and it has been reported to reduce the incidence of diabetic complications. It acts mainly by a...

The research was aimed at evaluating the antiglycation, antioxidant, and hepatoprotective properties of methanolic extract of Anethum graveolens (dill). The antioxidant properties, photochemical characteristics, and antiglycation effects of dill extract were measured. Carbon tetrachloride-induced hepatotoxic rats were used to show the hepatoprotective activity of dill leaves. Different concentr...

conclusions results showed that the boiled anethum graveolens seeds was effective on labor induction. results case group had a significantly better bishop score following the intervention compared to the control group. the mean duration of active phase, second and third stages of labor were significantly lower in the case group. the control group had shorter latent phase than the case group. pa...

a 63-year-old woman presented with a history of hyperthyroidism symptoms over two years, referred for thyroid scintigraphy. in the hospital archives we have met her previous thyroid scintigraphy showing a hot nodule in the upper part of right thyroid lobe. however, her recent thyroid scintigraphy was showing only cold nodules but no hot nodule, giving an impression that she had some treatment t...

background: protecting the environment from chemical hazards of synthetic insecticides along with offering of new breeding areas for vectors by urbanization indicate the trial of natural insecticides. methods: the acetone extracts of anethum graveolens , ocimum basilicum and thymus vulgaris were tested for their insecticidal effect on culex pipiens adults and larvae in different concentrations ...

background: it has been established that hyperlipidemia increases the  incidence and mortality associated with coronary heart disease. in this study, the effects of dill (anethum graveolens) were evaluated on lipid profile of hypercholesterolemic patients. materials and methods: in this clinical study, 91 hyperlipidemic patients were randomly designated into two groups. one group received gemfi...
