Background: Diabetes is considered as one of the health problems in all societies. Exercise training and herbal medicines are some approaches to improve diabetes. The present study investigated the effect of a six weeks exercise training program and/or Pistacia atlantica (mastic) extract on thyroid hormones and lipid profile as well as antidiabetic ef...

The effectiveness of weight ratio mineral filler to effective bitumen in the fatigue performance asphalt mixture with integral granules was investigated based on experiments mastic (mixture and passed through sieve grade 200). included a dynamic shear rheometer, elastic recovery, linear amplitude sweep tests other mixture, such as indirect tensile resilient modulus test for assessing medium tem...

Porous asphalt (PA) pavements are widely employed in areas with wet climates. As particle enhancement inclusions mastic, mineral fillers play essential roles improving the performance of PA pavements. This study developed a coupled multiscale finite element (FE) model, involving mesostructure mixture and pavement. Four types mastic properties were four (Granodiorite, Limestone, Dolomite, Rhyoli...

Schinus terebinthifolius (Anacardiaceae) is among the medicinal species native to Brazil, known as mastic-red and mastic-pepper, whose stem bark used fight inflammation of various origins, it has anti-inflammatory healing properties. The objective this study explore trends in publications portrayed on S. terebinthifolius, analyzing axes such time, countries, journals, impact factors citations, ...

Children have chewed gum since the Stone Age. Black lumps of prehistoric tar with human tooth impressions have been found in Northern Europe dating from approximately 7000 BC (Middle Stone Age) to 2000 BC (Bronze Age). The bite impressions suggest that most chewers were between 6 and 15 years of age. The Greeks chewed resin from the mastic tree (mastic gum). North American Indians chewed spruce...

Aim: The aim of the work was to explore mucoadhesive properties Mastic gum by involving it in microspheres with Amoxicillin Trihydrate as a model drug. Using Carbopol-934P and varying amounts gum. Methods: 9 interpretations were made using Design expert software. A central composite design applied test impact independent variables (Carbopol-934P mastic levels) on drug released at 10h strength r...

Abstract Pistacia lentiscus L. is an evergreen shrub belonging to the Anacardiaceae family, cultivated exclusively in southern area of Chios Island. Mastic gum as a unique natural resin tree has been used extensively functional foods and traditional medicine. The biological properties resins may be influenced by different chemical constituents. Herein present work aimed further explore diverse ...
