Abstract In this research, the effects of an Artemisia absinthium L. aqueous extract on broiler growth were measured. A total 384 old-day broilers used in a completely randomized study with three replicate each (n=32 replicate). The basal diet was supplied groups N0 (control), N1, N2, and N3 representing (5, 10, 15% L.), birds kept under observation for 35 days. results showed that there no sig...

objective during the last three decades sesquiterpenoid lactones have emerged as one of the largest groups of plant products with over 3000 naturally occurring substances known. the genus artemisia characteristically contains this biologically active type of secondary metabolites. with respect to increasing interest in the cytotoxic, antibiotic, phototoxic and antineoplastic activities of sesqu...

Background: Essential oils are found to have multiple active components which can show in vitro cytotoxic action against various cancerous cell lines. This study reports the in vitro cytotoxic effects of the essential oil from Artemisia absinthium L. (Asteraceae) growing wild in Iran. Methods: Water-distilled essential oil of A. absinthium collected from Ardabil, north-western Iran, was examin...

Purpose: To evaluate the correlation between sun protection factor (SPF) and content of phenol flavonoid antioxidant activity.
 Methods: Different parts 9 medicinal plants were extracted with methanol using three extraction methods (percolation, Soxhlet ultrasonically assisted extraction) to obtain 42 crude extracts. Their contents, activities determined Folin-Ciocalteu reagent, aluminum c...

Based on theoretical studies, the authors of this paper propose use cosmetic organosilicon polymers (commonly called silicones) for extraction a complex biologically active substances contained in vegetable raw materials. It is important to note that biological molecules do not interact with organosilicones and, therefore, their properties are altered after extraction. In work, we investigate e...
