background and objective: in this research, the effect of chronic dietary soybean aqueous extract on aortic reactivity of streptozotocin (stz)-diabetic rats was investigated. materials and methods: stz-diabetic rats were treated with soybean aqueous extract for two months after diabetes induction. contractile reactivity to kcl and phenylephrine (pe) and relaxation response to acetylcholine (ach...

To determine the anticonvulsant activity of the leaf extract of Croton zambesicus in mice and rats, and in order to verify the traditional use of the plant in the treatment of epilepsy. The pentyleneterazole (PTZ) and the maximal electroshock seizure (MES) models were used for assessing the anticonvulsant effects of the aqueous leaf extract in mice and rats. In the PTZ test, the leaf extract ...

The corrosion inhibition and adsorption (CIA) performance of the aqueous extracts of Aaronsohnia pubescens aerial parts (Odorized aqueous extract (OE) and Deodorized aqueous extract (DE)) on the corrosion mild steel (MS) in 1M hydrochloric acid were evaluated. It is based on the weight loss (WL) analysis, kinetic and thermodynamic parameters, and electrochemical methods both stationary (Potenti...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS South America and Oceania possess numerous floristic similarities, often confirmed by morphological and molecular data. The carnivorous Drosera meristocaulis (Droseraceae), endemic to the Neblina highlands of northern South America, was known to share morphological characters with the pygmy sundews of Drosera sect. Bryastrum, which are endemic to Australia and New Zealand. T...

the effect of aqueous extract of nepata glomerulosa boiss. aerial parts on morphine withdrawal syndrome was investigated in mice. dependence was induced by subcutaneous injections of morphine for 3 consecutive days. on day 4, morphine was injected 2 h prior to intraperitoneal injection of naloxone. the number of jumps during a 20 min. period after naloxone injection was considered as a measure ...

an aqueous extract of pimpinella anisum was used for green synthesis of silver nanoparticles by bio reduction of an aqueous solution of silver nitrate. silver nanoparticles were characterized by uv–vis spectrometry, fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ftir), x-ray diffraction (xrd) analysis, scanning electron microscopy (sem) and energy-dispersive x-ray analysis (edax). the increase in abs...
