This study investigated the effect of dry heat on the antioxidant capacity of water extracts of six spices, namely black pepper (Piper nigrum Linn.), cumin (Cuminum cyminum Linn.), clove (Syzygium aromaticum Linn.), cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum, syn. C. zeylanicum Blume), sumac (Rhus coriaria L.) and golpar (H. persicum Desf. Ex.), which were either roasted or heated in a microwave oven, powdered...

In an experiment, 200 one-day-old broiler chickens (Ross 308) were used to investigate the effects of sumac fruit (Rhus coriaria L.) powder (SFP) on performance, plasma concentrations of total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), high density lipoprotein (HDL-c), low density lipoprotein (LDL-c), very low density lipoprotein (VLDL-c) and plasma fasting blood sugar (FBS), as well as proportional ...

BACKGROUND Leucorrhea or vaginal discharge is a conventional complaint. It is generally whitish, yellowish, or greenish vaginal discharge in females that might be normal or a symptom of infection. It is almost mucus discharge, which exhibit exfoliation of vaginal epithelial cells due to estrogen influence on the vaginal mucosa. It is important to identify the differences between physiologic and...

the experiment was conducted to determine α-amylase activity and the effect of seven plant species extracts including punica granatum l. (punicaceae), rheum officinale b. (polygonaceae), rhus coriaria l. (anacardiaceae), artemisia sieberi b. ( compositae), peganum harmala l. (nitrariaceae) , datura stramonium l. (solanaceae) and thymus vulgaris l. (lamiaceae) on α-amylase activity of four store...
