several studies have demonstrated that herbal extracts possess various biological effects including anti-inflammatory and  anti-cancer  activities. the  present  study  was aimed to investigate the protective effects of the astragalus gypsicolus  (ag) hydroalcoholic extract in early allergic sensitized mice induced by ovalbumin. phytochemical assay was used  to  recognize the  main active const...

THE EFFECT OF ALOE VERA HYDROALCOHOLIC EXTRACT ON SPERMATOGENESIS PARAMETERS AND HISTOLOGICAL CHANGES IN TESTIS RATS FED WITH A HIGH-FAT DIET

Bioactivity of thyme has been described, but mostly related to its essential oils, while studies with aqueous extracts are scarce. Herein, the antioxidant and antibacterial properties of decoction, infusion and hydroalcoholic extract, as also their phenolic compounds, were evaluated and compared. Decoction showed the highest concentration of phenolic compounds (either phenolic acids or flavonoi...

Julocroton triqueter extracts have antileishmanial activity; however, the effect on genetic stability has not been studied. We evaluated genotoxic and cell death induction potential (in vitro and in vivo) of J. triqueter var. triqueter hydroalcoholic extracts, as well as their antigenotoxic potential in vivo. The in vitro genotoxic studies were performed using human leukocytes at four different...

BACKGROUND Carthamus tinctorius L. (Compositae) has been used in Iranian traditional medicine for treatment of diabetes. In this study, anti-diabetic effect of its hydroalcoholic extract was compared with that of glibenclamide. METHODS MALE WHITE WISTAR RATS WERE RANDOMLY ALLOCATED INTO FOUR GROUPS OF SIX EACH: nondiabetic control; diabetic control; diabetic treated with hydroalcoholic extrac...

EVALUATION OF THE PROTECTIVE ROLE HYDROALCOHOLIC EXTRACT GINGER AND N-ACETYLCYSTEINE ON GENETIC DISORDER CAUSED BY SODIUM AZIDE HUMAN BLOOD LYMPHOCYTES MICRONUCLEUS METHOD

The antioxidant and cytoprotective activities of the hydroalcoholic extract of Chiliadenus montanus, widely used in Egyptian traditional medicine, were investigated. The antioxidant potential, determined using ORAC assay, revealed that Chiliadenus montanus extracts are active radical scavengers (ORAC value 1.720 μmol TE/mg sample). Total phenolic content, measured by Folin-Ciocalteau, was 107.4...

Rosa damascena flower is widely used for gastrointestinal (GI) disorders. However, its pharmacological action on isolated ileum has not been studied. In this research, the effect of extract of flower petals of R. damascena Mill. growing in Kashan, Iran, on ileum motility was investigated. Hydroalcoholic extract was prepared by percolation method. A section of rat ileum was suspended in an organ...
