Objective: Diabetes is one of the most common metabolic diseases which can lead to cardiovascular disorders. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of swimming training with cinnamon extract on hematological factors in diabetic rats. Materials and Methods: 60 diabetic rats selected and divided into six group of: (1) control, (2) swimming training, (3) 60mg / kg of cinnamon, (4) 4...

Purpose According to the World Health Organization (WHO), approximately 150 million people worldwide have type 2 diabetes. It is a growing health concern. Common and cassia cinnamon have been reported to have anti-diabetic and lipid-lowering effects. The objective was to determine if the combination of common and cassia cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum and C. aromaticum) reduces fasting blood glucose...

Quorum sensing (QS) is a system of stimuli and responses in bacterial cells governed by their population density, through which they regulate genes that control virulence factors and biofilm formation. Despite considerable research on QS and the discovery of new antibiotics, QS-controlled biofilm formation by microorganisms in clinical settings has remained a problem because of nascent drug res...

OBJECTIVE To determine the effect of cinnamon on menstrual cyclicity and metabolic dysfunction in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). STUDY DESIGN In a prospective, placebo controlled, double-blinded randomized trial, 45 women with PCOS were randomized (1:1) to receive cinnamon supplements (1.5 g/d) or placebo for 6 months. Menstrual cyclicity (average cycles/month) during the 6 mont...

In the present study the efficacy of arkas (water distillate) and essential oils of cinnamon and clove is evaluated as a preservative for kwathas. Arkas and essential oils of cinnamon and clove have good preservative property without altering the physico - chemical properties of kwatha.

This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of dietary supplementation with cinnamon powder, cinnamon oil, and synbiotic as growth promoter agents on growth performance, blood parameters, and intestinal microbial populations in Japanese quails. A total of 420 one-day-old Japanese quails were randomly assigned to 7 treatments with 4 replicates. The dietary treatments consi...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Cognitive impairment develops with pre-diabetes and dementia is a complication of diabetes. Natural products like turmeric and cinnamon may ameliorate the underlying pathogenesis. METHODS People ≥ 60 years (n=48) with newly-recognised untreated pre-diabetes were randomised to a double-blind metabolic study of placebo, turmeric (1 g), cinnamon (2 g) or both (1 g & 2 g...

Interest in cinnamon as a potentially useful treatment for type 2 diabetes began with the discovery almost 20 years ago of cinnamon’s insulin-sensitizing properties (1). Numerous in vitro and in vivo studies have elucidated cinnamon’s effect on insulin signal transduction (2– 6). A study in diabetic mice showed that cinnamon lowered blood glucose, total cholesterol, and triglyceride levels whil...

Introduction Blood pressure (BP) is controlled, moment by moment, by the balance between heart outputs against total peripheral resistance and alters depending on position, activity, emotional state, and relative health/disease conditions. It is controlled by the brain through both the endocrine and nervous systems (1). On the other hand, BP is not stable and spontaneous variations in BP exist ...
