Medicinal plants play a key role in preventing various diseases. Hyperlipidemia is a major contributor to the pathogenesis of cardiovascular diseases. The purpose of the present study was to assess the effect of aqueous extract of Carum carvi seeds in diet induced hyperlipidemia in rats. 2% cholesterol diet were given to rats for six weeks and rats showed high lipid levels were included in the ...

The essential oil was obtained from crushed seeds, extracted through Hydrodistillation method. The percentage yield of Carum roxburghianum was found 4.7% respectively. Physical properties i.e., colour, odour, specific gravity, solubility, refractive index, acid value and ester value were recorded according to the standard procedures. Chemical composition of essential oil of Carum roxburghianum ...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to evaluate the chemical composition and antimicrobial activity of Satureja hortensis and Trachyspermum copticum essential oils against different kinds of microorganisms in vitro. MATERIAL AND METHODS The antimicrobial activity was evaluated by micro broth dilution assay and the chemical composition of essential oils was analyzed by GC and G...

Acinetobacter baumannii is categorized as a red alert pathogen that is increasingly associated with a high mortality rate in infected patients due to its resistance to extensive antibiotics. In this study, we evaluated the antibacterial activities of some essential oils (Oliveria decumbens, Pelargonium graveolens, Eugenia caryophyllata, Ziziphora tenuir and Trachyspermum copticum oils) against ...

The β2-adrenergic effects of macerated extract, aqueous extract, ethanol extract, and essential oil of Carum copticum, 5 nM propranolol, and saline were tested by performing cumulative Log concentration-response curves of isoprenaline-induced relaxation of precontracted isolated guinea pig tracheal chains in three different conditions including: non-incubated (group 1, n=9) incubated with 1...

in this study, anti alternaria solani effects of essential oils of 11 medicinal and aromatic plant species belonging to four families collected from the west of iran were investigated based on agar dilution method with five replications at concentration of 1.0 µl/ml. the results showed that the highest inhibitory effect belonged to oliveria decumbens, cinnamomum zeylanicum, carum copticum and t...
