Exposure to ionizing radiation has become frequent with its vast applications in diagnosis, treatment and industry rather than possible environmental pollution with radiation. The animals of this study were allocated into three groups, control group, irradiated group (5 Gy one shot) and hawthorn treated postirradiation group. Exposure to radiation was implicated with hematological suppression i...

The psyllid Cacopsylla melanoneura is considered one of the vectors of 'Candidatus Phytoplasma mali', the causal agent of apple proliferation disease. In Northern Italy, overwintered C. melanoneura adults reach apple and hawthorn around the end of January. Nymph development takes place between March and the end of April. The new generation adults migrate onto conifers around mid-June and come b...

Behavioural changes in habitat or mate choice can trigger population divergence, leading to speciation. However, little is known about the neurological bases for such changes. Rhagoletis pomonella (Diptera: Tephritidae) is a model for ecological speciation via host plant shifts. Within the past 180 years, Rhagoletis flies infesting hawthorn (Crataegus spp.) shifted to attack domesticated apple ...

The usage of hawthorn preparations has a long history in the traditional treatment heart failure, which is considered as inability weakened to supply peripheral tissues with required amount oxygen and nutrients. leaf, flower, fruit hawthorn, due presence bioactive compounds such flavonoids, procyanidins, organic acids, amines, etc., are showing wide range effects on cardiovascular system. leaf ...

A simple, precise, and rapid high-performance liquid chromatographic method was developed and validated for the simultaneous determination of vitexin-2″-O-glucoside, vitexin-2″-O-rhamnoside, rutin, vitexin, and hyperoside. The HPLC separation was performed using a Shim-pack VP-ODS C18 column (250 mm×4.6 mm i.d., 5 μm) with the isocratic mobile phase consisting of tetrahydrofuran/ acetonitrile/0...

A common clinical treatment for hyperlipidemia in China is hawthorn, a traditional Chinese herb. However, few researches have been done on its active ingredients and their possible mechanisms treating hyperlipidemia. The chemical constituents of hawthorn were obtained from the encyclopedia medicine, bioavailability druglikeness properties each ingredient analyzed using SwissADME targets action ...

The content of phytochemicals associated with the antioxidant activity of the fruits of species of hawthorn (Crataegus spp.; Rosacea) located in Mexico is unknown. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the content of phenolic compounds, flavonoids, vitamin C and the antioxidant activity in a selection of Mexican hawthorn species. A quantification was made of total phenols, flavonoi...

Reduced endothelium-dependent vasodilator responses with increased synthesis of ET-1 (endothelin-1) are characteristics of endothelial dysfunction in heart failure and are predictive of mortality. Identification of treatments that correct these abnormalities may have particular benefit for patients who become refractory to current regimens. Hawthorn preparations have a long history in the treat...

This study focused on the determination of quality characteristics homemade organic vinegars (apple, red hawthorn and yellow hawthorn) which were produced with double fermentation (ethyl alcohol acetic acid fermentation) method by spectroscopy (UV/Fourier transform infrared) rheology technique. These absorbance peak values are associated acids phenolic compounds determined as an important param...
