Molecules derived from cinnamon have demonstrated diverse pharmacological activities against infectious pathogens, diabetes and inflammatory diseases. This study aims to evaluate the effect of the cinnamon-derived molecule IND02 on the adhesion of leukocytes to host cells. The anti-inflammatory ability of IND02, a pentameric procyanidin type A polyphenol polymer isolated from cinnamon alcohol e...

Non-toxic plain and cinnamon-flavoured carrots and cereal-based baits used in poisoning operations for control of the brushtail possum (Trichosurus vulpecula) were offered to seven species of captive rare birds at Mt Bruce National Wildlife Centre. Some individuals of all species ate plain baits. Antipodes Island parakeets (Cyanoramphus unicolor) preferred carrot to cereal-based baits, North Is...

Two hundred and fifty male 1-day-old broiler chicks (Ross 308) were used to investigate the effects of dietary supplementation of turmeric and cinnamon powders on meat quality and lipid peroxidation of broilers under heat stress condition. The five treatment groups were control (recommended temperature for Ross 308), heat stressed (32 ± 1 ˚C from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM during finisher period) and h...

The aim of this study was to investigate the protective effects of cinnamon on lead acetate induced reproductive toxicities in rats. Thirty-two male rats were randomly divided into 4 groups, 8 rats in each. Control rats received distilled water, while treated rats received lead acetate (30 mg/kg), cinnamon (250 mg/kg) and lead acetate and cinnamon (30 mg/kg and 250 mg/kg) for 60 days by gavage ...

The genus Cinnamomum of the family Lauraceae is an economically important crop. Ceylon cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum syn. C. zeylanicum) has exceptional position in global market. In addition to cultivated species, Sri Lanka home seven endemic wild capparu-coronde, citriodorum, dubium, litseifolium, ovalifolium, rivulorum, and sinharajaense. Nevertheless, species delimitation not been successful w...

Plain and cinnamon-flavoured baits used in 1080-poisoning operations for brushtail possum control were offered to two captive North Island kaka at Mt Bruce National Wildlife Centre in July 1985. The kaka ate plain baits the first day offered, but were deterred from eating cinnamon-flavoured baits until the second day. INTRODUCTION Carrots and pollard pellets commonly used as carriers of 1080 po...

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of cinnamon on glycemic control in adolescents with type 1 diabetes. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Using a prospective, double-blind, placebo-controlled design, 72 adolescent type 1 diabetic subjects were treated in an outpatient setting with cinnamon (1 g/day) or an equivalent-appearing placebo for 90 days. A1C, total daily insuli...

Long-Evans Cinnamon rats develop a necrotizing hepatitis characterized by excessive hepatic copper accumulation, defective holoceruloplasmin biosynthesis and impaired biliary copper excretion. To elucidate the molecular basis of this defect, a cDNA clone encoding the rat Wilson disease gene was isolated and used to examine gene expression in selected tissues from normal and Long-Evans Cinnamon ...

Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) are transcriptional factors involved in the regulation of insulin resistance and adipogenesis. Cinnamon, a widely used spice in food preparation and traditional antidiabetic remedy, is found to activate PPARgamma and alpha, resulting in improved insulin resistance, reduced fasted glucose, FFA, LDL-c, and AST levels in high-caloric diet-induced...
