Aims: In our previous studies, we showed the inhibitory effects of Punica granatum L. flower and Rhus coriaria L. fruit water extracts on dental plaque accumulation by several bacteria, especially Streptococcus mutans (S. mutans), on orthodontic wire by in vitro assays. In this study, the anti-cariogenic properties of the extracts were evaluated by assessing their effects on expression of glyco...

Worldwide pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) production has expanded greatly due to recent evidence on the fruit health attributes. The fruit's unique red color, conferred by anthocyanins, is an imperative sensory quality. Climate effects on the fruit's internal color were reported earlier. The present study investigated the influence of a wide range of temperature regimes (∼7-40 °C) on pomegrana...

The aqueous extract from the bark of Punica granatum L. was invested to generate CuO nanoparticles CuSO4 using a green, economical, ecological, and clean method. synthesized were characterized successfully used as adsorbents for methyl green retention an absorptive capacity amounting 28.7 mg g?1. Methyl equilibrium adsorption data correlated Langmuir model following pseudo-second order kinetics...

BACKGROUND The present study investigated the difference between therapeutic responses of hot and cold temperament patients (based on traditional Persian medicine) with ulcerative colitis to pomegranate peel extract. METHODS Seventy-eight patients with moderate ulcerative colitis based on Lichtiger Colitis Activity Index (LCAI) criteria were randomized to receive an aqueous extract of the Pun...
