BACKGROUND Giardia lamblia is one of the most common protozoal infections in human especially children. Metronidazol (MTZ) is the drug of choice for treatment of giardiasis; its chemical composition possesses major threats and is becoming less sensitive. This study aimed to search for natural extracts alternative to MTZ. METHODS In-vivo effects of dichloromethane extracts of ginger and cinnam...

Seventy isolates belonging to 3 different species of gram-negative bacilli: E.coli(30), K.pneurnoniae(05), and P.aeruginosa(05), and I specie of gram-positive cocci: S.aureus(30), were used for screening of antibacterial activity of aqueous infusion, decoction and essential oil of cinnamon by standard disc diffusion method. The oil of cinnamon exhibited highest antibacterial activity against S....

Issues about environmental damage caused by the presence of plastic-based packaging materials require development eco-friendly materials. Breadfruit starch contains amylose which has potential to be developed into natural materials, or edible films. Another function was protect food ingredients from damage, one microbiological damage. This study aimed determine level breadfruit produce films th...

Problem statement: Rats fed high dietary fructose are documented to form an acquired model of insulin resistance; the present study aims to investigate possible changes in lens crystallins of rats fed high fructose diet and the effects of administration of each exogenous L-Carnitine (CA) and Cinnamon Extract (CE) on protein glycation, oxidative stress and redox homeostasis in this rat model. Ap...

Background and objective: Gentimicin is an antibiotic from the family of Aminoglycosides used in the treatment of infections resulted from Gram-negative bacteria, the use of which is limited due to its nephrotoxicity. In this study the histological effect of cinnamon on the nephrotoxicity resulted from Gentimicin in rats is investigated because of the Antioxidant properties of cinnamon.Material...
