Hypolipidemic Effect of Purslane (Portulaca oleracea L.) in Rats Fed on High Cholesterol Diet

Hypolipidemic Effect of Purslane (Portulaca oleracea L.) in Rats Fed on High Cholesterol Diet

Purslane is a vegetarian source of n-3 PUFA (α-linolenic acid). The objective of the present work was to explore purslane as n-3 source to mitigate hyperlipidemia in rat model. Group of rats (n=48) were fed on high cholesterol diet to induce hyperlipidemia. Group 1,2,3,4 and 5 (n=6/group) were fed on aqueous extract of purslane (AEP) and lovastanin diet while group 6 and 7 were treated as hyper...

KAYMAK, H. C., 2013. Effect of nitrogen forms on growth, yield and nitrate accumulation of cultivated purslane (portulaca oleracea l.). Bulg. J. Agric. Sci., 19: 444-449 The present investigation was carried out to determine not only the most appropriate nitrogen form but also the effect of these forms on growth, yield, element content and nitrate accumulation of cultivated purslane (portulaca ...

Screening of Purslane (Portulaca oleracea L.) Accessions for High Salt Tolerance

Purslane (Portulaca oleracea L.) is an herbaceous leafy vegetable crop, comparatively more salt-tolerant than any other vegetables with high antioxidants, minerals, and vitamins. Salt-tolerant crop variety development is of importance due to inadequate cultivable land and escalating salinity together with population pressure. In this view a total of 25 purslane accessions were initially selecte...

The effect of vitamin C supplementation on blood cholesterol level in high cholesterol-fed rats

سابقه و هدف: هیپرکلسترولمی یکی از فاکتورهای خطر بیماری‌های قلبی ـ عروقی است و افزایش کلسترول خون سلامت عمومی را تحت تاثیر قرار داده و میزان مرگ‌ و میر ناشی از بیماری‌های قلبی ـ عروقی را افزایش می‌دهد. تغذیه با رژیم پرکلسترول باعث افزایش میزان LDL و همچنین کاهش فعالیت گیرنده‌های LDL در کبد می‌شود. اکسیداسیون لیپوپروتئین موجود در دیواره عروق، باعث پیشرفت بیماری آتروسکلروز می‌شود. شواهد چندی حاکی ...
