Introduction: In this study, it was aimed to investigate the potential protective effects of cinnamon (CIN) against methotrexate (MTX) induced kidney damage.Materials and Methods: Spraque dawley male rats were divided into five groups (n = 7) as: control group received no treatment; oil administered 1ml/kg olive (OO) by oral gavage during experiment; MTX given OO once a day for 14 days single d...

Essential oils (EOs) are excellent antimicrobial agents sometimes used in active food packaging. This work studies the susceptibility of 48 clinical isolates and 12 reference strains of Gram-negative bacilli to oregano essential oil, cinnamon essential oil, and combinations of both. Furthermore, the tendency of the clinical isolates to develop resistance to these EOs and to different antibiotic...

The effect of cinnamon (Cinnamomum zeylanicum) bark essential oil (CBEO) on human skin cells has not been elucidated. Therefore, we investigated the activity of a commercially available CBEO in a validated human dermal fibroblast system, a model of chronic inflammation and fibrosis. We first evaluated the impact of CBEO on 17 protein biomarkers that play critical roles in inflammation and tissu...

PURPOSE Regular training is suggested to offer a host of benefits especially on cardiovascular system. In addition, medicinal plants can attenuate oxidative stress-mediated damages induced by stressor insults. In this study, we investigated the concomitant effect of cinnamon extract and long-term aerobic training on cardiac function, biochemical alterations and lipid profile following exhaustiv...

The objective of the present research was to develop cinnamon oil nanoemulsions using soy protein isolate and lecithin as food grade natural emulsifiers. For this purpose, stable cinnamon oil nanoemulsion (droplet diameter of 141.2 nm) prepared by ultrasonic emulsification. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and the minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) of free and nanoemulsified cin...

This study seeks to understand the effects of new hydrogels based on Oregano® essential oil, Frankincense® and Thieves® blend, which includes clove, lemon, cinnamon bark, eucalyptus radiata, rosemary extract, oil through in vitro cytotoxicity antimicrobial analysis. Mesenchymal stem cells (D1MSCs) generated from dental papilla human wisdom teeth germs were used test hydrogels’ (D1MSCs). The che...

Antibacterial activity of 19 essential oils was screened against four test bacteria namely Pseudomonas aeruginosa NCIM 5029, Staphylococcus aureus NCIM 5021, Salmonella typhimurium NCIM 2501 and Bacillus subtilis NCIM 2063. Varying degree of antibacterial activity was recorded with the highest being depicted by Cinnamomum zeylanicum followed by Cymbopogon ciatrus and Carum copticum, against all...
