in a previous study, the relaxant and anticholinergic (functional antagonism) effects of bunium persicum (b. persicum ) have been demonstrated on guinea pig tracheal chains. to elucidate the other mechanisms responsible for this relaxant effect, the inhibitory effect of this plant on histamine h1 receptors was examined in this study. the antihistaminic effects of aqueous and macerated extracts,...

Studies have demonstrated that plant extracts possess various biological characteristics, including immunomodulatory activity. Heracleum persicum Desf. (Apiaceae), a medicinal plant native to Iran, was studied for its immunomodulatory activity. Immunomodulatory activity of different doses of an aqueous extract of H. persicum, was evaluated in female Swiss albino mice. Mice were treated with thr...

In arid and semi-arid environments, desert vegetation plays an important role in preventing soil erosion by wind helps maintain the stability of oasis ecosystems. Four types typical vegetation, namely Populus euphratica, Haloxylon ammodendron, Nitraria sibirica, Halostachs caspica, corresponding to different habitats (i.e., river bank, sand dune, desert, salt marsh) were chosen as model this re...
