[ 1 ] - Possible Mechanism(s) of the Relaxant Effects of Achillea wilhelmsii on Guinea-Pig Tracheal Chains

Achillea wilhelmsii have been used in folk remedies. The relaxant effects of the extractof A. wilhelmsii on tracheal chains of guinea pigs were examined. The relaxant effects offour cumulative concentrations of the extract, theophylline and saline were examined bytheir relaxant effects on precontracted tracheal chains of guinea pig by KCl (group 1), 10 μMmethacholine (group 2), incubated tissue...

[ 3 ] - The effect of alpha linolenic acid on tracheal responsiveness, lung inflammation and immune markers in sensitized rats

Objective(s): The effects of alpha linolenic acid (ALA) on tracheal responsiveness (TR), total protein (TP), phospholipase A2 (PLA2), immunoglobulin E (IgE), interleukin 4 (IL-4), interferon gamma (INF-γ) level and INF-γ/IL4 ratio in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) of sensitized rats were examined.Materials and Methods: TR to methacholine and ovalbumin (OA), BALF levels of TP, PLA2 and IgE ...

[ 4 ] - The effects of Ocimum basilicum extract and its constituent, rosmarinic acid on total and differential blood WBC, serum levels of NO, MDA, thiol, SOD, and CAT in ovalbumin sensitized rats

The effects of Ocimum basilicum (O. basilicum) and its constituent, rosmarinic acid, on total and differential blood WBC, serum levels of NO2, NO3, MDA, thiol, SOD and CAT in sensitized rats were examined. The study was performed in control animals (group C) and eight groups of sensitized rats to ovalbumin which were given drinking water alone (group S), drinking water containing three concentr...
