Rhodiola rosea (Rro) has been reported to have various pharmacological properties, including anti-fatigue, anti-stress and anti-inflammatory activity. It is also known to improve glucose and lipid metabolism, but the effects of Rhodiola rosea on adipocyte differentiation and metabolism are not still elucidated. In this study the anti-adipogenic and lipolytic activity of two extracts of Rhodiola...

Clonostachys rosea is a mycoparasite that has shown great potential in controlling various plant fungal pathogens. In order to find mycoparasitism-related genes in C. rosea, the transcriptome of the efficient isolate 67-1 in association with sclerotia of Sclerotinia sclerotiorum was sequenced and analysed. The results identified 26,351 unigenes with a mean length of 1,102 nucleotides, among whi...

Phospholipids were utilized as a membrane marker to test for transformation-induced alteration of cellular membranes of cultured crown gall cells of Vinca rosea L. Fully transformed cells contained less than half the amount of phospholipids (7.8 micrograms lipid P per gram fresh weight) of normal V. rosea cells (21.4 micrograms lipid P per gram fresh weight). The normal V. rosea callus cells we...

Clonostachysrosea is a mycoparasitic fungal species that is an efficient biocontrol agent against many plant diseases. During mycoparasitic interactions, one of the most crucial steps is the hydrolysis of the prey's fungal cell wall, which mainly consists of glucans, glycoproteins and chitin. Chitinases are hydrolytic enzymes responsible for chitin degradation and it is suggested that they play...

Mature forms of Collyriclum faba (Bremser in Schmalz, 1831) were identified subcutaneous cysts the mountain whitethroat – Sylvia althaea Hume, 1878 (Passeriformes, Sylviidae) during a research expedition an area adjacent to Surkhan State Reserve Surkhandarya Province Uzbekistan on 18 June 2017. In period between 10 and 2017, we examined total 29 mature birds detected skin trematode one individu...

Clonostachys rosea is a potential biocontrol fungus that can produce highly resistant chlamydospores under specific conditions. To investigate the genes related to chlamydospore formation, we identified reliable reference genes for quantification of gene expression in C. rosea 67-1 during sporulation. In this study, nine reference genes, actin (ACT), elongation factor 1 (EF1), glyceraldehyde-3-...

T HE Medical Research Council's investigation into pityriasis rosea in 1959 has already been published (Proc. roy. Soc. Med., 55, 556). This second investigation, based on a very simple questionnaire, has produced some additional information, but has not altogether solved the question put, namely "What is the cause of this disease?" Much interest was shown. In 1964, 180 observers notified 531 c...

PURPOSE This study is the first clinical trial aiming to explore the clinical outcomes in burnout patients treated with Rhodiola rosea. The reported capacity of R. rosea to strengthen the organism against stress and its good tolerability offer a promising approach in the treatment of stress-related burnout. The aim of the treatment was to increase stress resistance, thus addressing the source r...

background: gentamicin (gm) is used as antibiotic for gram-negative infections, but its administration is limited due to a side-effect of nephrotoxicity. it was attempted to investigate the effect of althaea officinalis flower extract (aofe) against nephrotoxicity induced by gm in male rats. methods: 30-year-old male wistar rats were divided into five groups. group 1 as a negative control group...
