Background and Purpose Oxidative stress is involved in normal and pathological functioning of skeletal muscle. Protection of myoblasts from oxidative stress may improve muscle contraction and delay aging. Here we studied the effect of R. coriaria sumac fruit extract on human myoblasts and zebrafish embryos in conditions of hydrogen peroxide-induced oxidative stress. Study Design and Methods C...

The current work aimed to determine the effects of antioxidant and physicochemical properties sumac fruits on its antimicrobial activity. Samples collected from Mardin Diyarbakır provinces which are located in Turkey’s Southeastern Anatolia were used results compared among each other. taken analysed separately, they exhibited high activities. Analyzes performed aqueous extracts samples. highest...

The present research investigates the application of green method to produce nanocomposites. CuO/PET fiber nanocomposite can be prepared in two ways. first way involves electrospinning technique by which waste plastic cups polyethylene terephthalate (PET) are converted into nanofibers. In second way, copper nanoparticle (CuONPs) is synthesized with natural capped plant extract sumac (Rhus Coria...

Natural dyes gained increasing attention due to environmental considerations. Many of the dye plants have also medicinal values. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of 25 plants as dyes and their dyed wool yarns against microorganisms. Prokaryotes were found to be more sensitive to dye extracts than eukaryotic microorganisms and dyestuff from Punica granatum, Berberis vulgaris, Agrimoni...

Objectives: This study has been done to evaluate the interaction between ethanolic extracts of Rhus coriaria (seed), Psidium guajava (Leaf), Lawsonia inermis (Leaf) and Sacropoterium spinosum (seed) and antimicrobial drugs including oxytetracycline HCl, enrofloxacin, gentamicin sulphate and sulfadimethoxine against four clinical isolates of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Me...

Oxidative stress diseases are usually treated or prevented by using antioxidants from natural artificial sources. However, as a sustainable source of phytochemicals, plants got renewed interest in obtaining their active agents green extraction technologies, i.e., techniques that reduce energy consumption, use renewable sources and result less post-extraction wastes. The high-pressure homogeniza...
