This experiment had been done to evaluate the effects of different levels of essential oils (EOs) of wormwood (Artemisia absinthium) and cumin (Cuminum cyminum)on growth performance, carcass characteristics and immune system in broiler chicks. Three hundred ninety two Ross 308 male broiler chicks in a completely randomized design were divided into 7 experimental treatments. The experimental tre...

Six rare naturally occurring indazole-type alkaloids including two new compounds, 17-O-(β-d-glucopyranosyl)-4-O-methylnigellidine (1) and nigelanoid (2), and four known compounds (3-6) were isolated from a defatted extract of Nigella sativa (black cumin) seeds. 17-O-(β-d-Glucopyranosyl)-4-O-methylnigellidine (1) increased glucose consumption by liver hepatocytes (HepG2 cells) through activation...

Background: Cuminum cyminum (Cumin) and Curcuma longa (Turmeric) are plant derived spices which are commonly used as a part of everyday recipes in variety of cuisines. They are known causes of platelet dysfunction but Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) following their consumption has never been reported in the literature. Primary cardiac involvement in TTP is a rare but fatal complicatio...

this study was carried out to evaluate the effect of different levels of essential oils of wormwood (artemisia absinthium) and cumin (cuminum cyminum (on antioxidant status, lipid peroxidation and serum metabolites in broiler chickens for 42 days. 336 day-old male broiler chicks (ross 308) were allocated to 7 treatments with 4 replications .dietary treatments were included a corn-soybean based ...

selection of an appropriate model is important for quantifying response of germination rate to temperature and determination of cardinal temperatures. this study was done to evaluate different nonlinear regression models to describe response of germination rate to temperature in medicinal pumpkin, borago and black cumin. the regression models were dent-like, segmented, beta, curvilinear, quadra...

to introduce ecologically safe acaricide, effects of essential oils derived from cuminum cyminum (cumin), syzygium aromaticum (clove), and mentha spicata (spearmint) were determined on tetranychus urticae at 25±1◦c, 65±5% rh and a photoperiod of 16:8 (l:d) hour. the essential oils extracted by hydro-distillation were characterized by means of gc and gc–ms. bioassays were performed by filter pap...

using nigella sativa l. (black cumin), in traditional medicine, dates back to tutankhamen, the pharaoh of egypt. there are aboundant historical and religious evidence implying the importance of these curative seeds. traditionally, they have been used for various therapeutic purposes. zokam and nazleh (zan) are two nasal diseases used to be treated by these medicinal seeds. traditional persian m...

This study was performed to evaluate the phenolic profile, antioxidant and diuretic effects of black cumin and lady-in-a-mist seeds. In the phenolic profile, differences between the two species are significant. Qualitative and quantitative analyses of the phenolic compounds were performed using a HPLC-UV/MS method. Hyperoside was the only identified flavonoid glycoside (1.08 ± 0.01 μg∙g-1 dw pl...
