BACKGROUND 6-Gingerol is one of the most pharmacologically active and abundant components in ginger, which has a wide array of biochemical and pharmacologic activities. In recent years, the application of microwave-assisted extraction (MAE) for obtaining bioactive compounds from plant materials has shown tremendous research interest and potential. In this study, an efficient microwave-assisted ...

context: vomiting is one of the most prevalent side effects of chemotherapy in cancer patients. aims: the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of ginger plant on chemotherapy-induced vomiting, since the previous studies were somehow imperfect and have provided controversial results. materials and methods: this randomized double-blind placebo-controlled clinical trial was conducted on 80...

The rhizome of ginger (Zingiber officinale Roscoe) is known to have several bioactive compounds including gingerols and shogaols which possess beneficial health properties such as anti-inflammatory and chemopreventive effects. Based on recent observations that 6-shogaol may have more potent bioactivity than 6-gingerol, we obtained a 6-shogaol-rich extract from ginger and examined its effects on...

background: inflammation and pain induced by delayed onset muscle soreness (doms) as a result of eccentric exercise (ee) or unaccustomed activity cause some difficulties in exercise for athletes. the purpose of this study was to survey the effect of ginger extract on biochemical and functional symptom of delayed onset muscle soreness.   methods : in a quasi-experimental study, 36 healthy female...

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of ginger on the concentrations of plasma interleukin-1β (IL-1β), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) in welltrained male endurance runners. To this end, twenty-eight high-level endurance runners were randomly assigned to two groups (control and experimental). They performed the same weekly training volume for 12 weeks. Th...

Background: Chronic inflammation and oxidative stress are the two essential factors determining ulcerative colitis (UC) onset and severity status. In present study, we aimed to investigate short-term effects of ginger (Zingiber officinale) as a well-known antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agent on the quality of life, disease activity index and some of inflammatory and oxidative stress factors ...

Common carp (Cyprinus carpio L.) were manually fed a diet supplemented with ginger powder (Zingiber officinalis) at levels (0, 6, 8, and 10) % to observe the effect of on blood biochemical parameters. The research was conducted in fish laboratory Faculty Animal Production /College Agriculture Forestry/University Mosul. In this study 84 used distributed over 12 glass tanks an average weight 28 ±...

Liver complication is a major concern in the world. Finding out new way to combat various liver diseases very much required. Ginger has been reported have hepato-protective activity. Here we aimed formulate an oil-based (self-micro emulsifying) powder improve hepatoprotective activity of dry Zingiber officinale (Ginger).
