Introduction: Fennel is rich in phytoestrogens and is used for estrogen deficiency disorders. Estrogens affect anxiety through neurochemical systems such as GABA-A receptors. In this study the effects of fennel on GABA-A and estrogen receptors in anxiety were investigated. Methods: Adult female Wistar rats weighing (180±20 g) were divided into 8 groups. Groups received saline, fennel (200, ...

The present work represents potential bio-sorbents: Tilia cordata (little leaf linden) and Foeniculum vulgare (fennel). copper removal was operated in batch procedure. Adsorbent mass, ion concentration, pH, time, temperature considerations were inspected. highly beneficial provisions for adsorption are 10 mg /L as preliminary 0.2 g mass pH 5.5 5.23 vulgare. Adsorption statistics follow the Lang...

The production of minimally processed vegetables generates large amounts by-products whose concentrations in bioactive compounds is comparable to those the edible part. aim this work was optimization sustainable processes for extraction phenolic from chicory and fennel using water as solvent. results were compared with obtained through a conventional performed 70% ethanol aqueous solution ultra...

background: dysmenorrhea is a common gynecologic disorder affecting as many as 60% of menstruating women. in the united states, work absenteeism due to dysmenorrhea is estimated to be 600 million work hours per year, and the economic consequences are estimated at $2 billion per year; therefore, it is a public problem nowadays. aim: the purpose of this study was to compare the effects of combina...

Hyadaphis foeniculi (Passerini) (Hemiptera: Aphididae) is a cosmopolitan species and the main pest of fennel in northeastern Brazil. Understanding the relationship between temperature variations and the population growth rates of H. foeniculi is essential to predict the population dynamics of this aphid in the fennel crop. The aim of this study was to measure the effect of constant temperature ...

conclusions fennel increased red and white blood cells probably due to the presence of polyphenols and antioxidant activity of fennel and reduced negative effects of free radicals on blood cells. results fennel increased mean rbc (7.54 ± 0.53 × 106) and wbc (5.89 ± 0.78 × 103) values, especially at a dose of 250 mg/ml and ct (2.45 ± 0.20) at a dose of 500mg/ml compared to the control group (p <...
