However, it is still controversial whether the beneficial effect is insulin-dependent or insulin-mimetic. This study was aimed at determining the insulin-independent effect of cinnamon. Streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats were divided into four groups and orally administere...

The objective of this study was to evaluate the antifungal effects Zataria multiflora (ZEO) and Cinnamomum zeylanicum (CEO) essential oils in vapor phase against Aspergillus flavus Penicillium citrinum vitro cheese. activities vapors ZEO CEO were assessed by determining minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC), fractional (FIC) index, inhibition zone diameters. Thymol (51.10%) cinnamaldehyde (77....

Abstract This study aimed to chemically characterize the essential oils (EOs) of Cinnamomum zeylanicum (cinnamon) and Eremanthus erythropappus (candeia) evaluate their acaricidal activity, together with that major compounds cinnamyl acetate derivative, against Rhipicephalus microplus. Essential oil were identified through gas chromatography. The larval packet test (LPT) at concentrations rangin...

Background: Medicinal plants are considered new resources for producing agents that could act as alternatives to antibiotics in the treatment of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. The aim of this study was to evaluate the antibacterial activity of 28 plant extracts and oils against four Gram-negative bacterial species.Methods: Experimental, in vitro, evaluation of the activities of 28 plant extract...
