Two hundred and fifty male 1-day-old broiler chicks (Ross 308) were used to investigate the effects of dietary supplementation of turmeric and cinnamon powders on meat quality and lipid peroxidation of broilers under heat stress condition. The five treatment groups were control (recommended temperature for Ross 308), heat stressed (32 ± 1 ˚C from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM during finisher period) and h...

The aim of this study was to investigate the protective effects of cinnamon on lead acetate induced reproductive toxicities in rats. Thirty-two male rats were randomly divided into 4 groups, 8 rats in each. Control rats received distilled water, while treated rats received lead acetate (30 mg/kg), cinnamon (250 mg/kg) and lead acetate and cinnamon (30 mg/kg and 250 mg/kg) for 60 days by gavage ...

We read, with interest, the article of Akilen et al. [1], in which the authors describe their investigation of the effects of 2 g of cinnamon in a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind trial. Without doubt, this study adds to the limited existing evidence, which up to now is mostly of poor methodological quality [2]. A recent meta-analysis showed that the overall effect of cinnamon on Hb...

In this study, locally available eleven herbs and spices were selected in broiler diet to evaluate the growth performance, some biochemical and economical parameters of broiler. Different herbs likecumin, myrobalan, turmeric, garlic, ginger, mushroom, black cumin, coriander, cinnamon, chilli powder and neam leaves were applied on 390 broiler chicks. A basal diet was supplemented with 1g/L antib...

Plain and cinnamon-flavoured baits used in 1080-poisoning operations for brushtail possum control were offered to two captive North Island kaka at Mt Bruce National Wildlife Centre in July 1985. The kaka ate plain baits the first day offered, but were deterred from eating cinnamon-flavoured baits until the second day. INTRODUCTION Carrots and pollard pellets commonly used as carriers of 1080 po...

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of cinnamon on glycemic control in adolescents with type 1 diabetes. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Using a prospective, double-blind, placebo-controlled design, 72 adolescent type 1 diabetic subjects were treated in an outpatient setting with cinnamon (1 g/day) or an equivalent-appearing placebo for 90 days. A1C, total daily insuli...

Long-Evans Cinnamon rats develop a necrotizing hepatitis characterized by excessive hepatic copper accumulation, defective holoceruloplasmin biosynthesis and impaired biliary copper excretion. To elucidate the molecular basis of this defect, a cDNA clone encoding the rat Wilson disease gene was isolated and used to examine gene expression in selected tissues from normal and Long-Evans Cinnamon ...

Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) are transcriptional factors involved in the regulation of insulin resistance and adipogenesis. Cinnamon, a widely used spice in food preparation and traditional antidiabetic remedy, is found to activate PPARgamma and alpha, resulting in improved insulin resistance, reduced fasted glucose, FFA, LDL-c, and AST levels in high-caloric diet-induced...

cinnamomum zeylanicum (cinnamon) has a wide range of beneficial effects including mild glucose lowering activity. the aim of the present study was to investigate whether cinnamon bark extract has the potential to improve memory performance and glucose profiles in diabetic mice. memory was assessed by the novel object recognition task in male balb/c mice. in this method, the difference between e...
