This study was undertaken in order to evaluate the possible anti-hyperglycaemic and body weight reducing activities of the aqueous extract of both Capparis spinosa (CS) and Chamaemelum nobile (CN) (20 mg kg). The results demonstrate clearly that repeated oral administration of both CS and CN aqueous extract evoked a potent anti-hyperglycaemic activity in high fat diet (HFD) obese mice. Postpran...

Abstract Genetic diversity and variability between populations is essential for the long-term survival of plant species as well their adaptation to different habitats. The Capparis spinosa L. has two subspecies in Spain, with stipules thorny rupestris without them. In used its cultivation , which difficult manipulate due thorny. capers, unripe fruits tender shoots are food. caper a rich source ...

The caper plant is widespread in Sicily (Italy) both wild natural habitats and as specialized crops, showing considerable morphological variation. However, although contributing to a thriving market, innovation cropping low. aim of the study was evaluate agronomic production behavior some biotypes Capparis spinosa L. subsp. rupestris, identified on Island Linosa for growing purposes. Two years ...

The present study evaluates the contents in bioactive compounds, antioxidant activity, oil content and fatty acid composition of Capparis spinosa seeds. Samples were collected from 5 different habitats (AH: Ahar; KU: Kurdistan; U1, U2 U3: Urmia) Iran. seeds ranged 16 to 27%. predominant was linoleic (45-50%) followed by oleic (30-39%), palmitic (2-8%) stearic (2-3%). Total phenolic (TPC) varied...
