Equisetum arvense, commonly known as the field horsetail, has potential as a new functional food ingredient. However, little information is available on its side effects, and the general toxicity of Equisetum arvense has yet to be examined in detail. In the present study, we evaluated the influence of administration in diet at doses of 0, 0.3, 1 and 3% for 13 weeks in male and female F344 rats....

Abstract In organic farming the control of perennial weed species, in particular Cirsium arvense , can be a major concern for farmers, especially if there is no regulation through forage production. To test whether stubble cleaner (SC), an enhanced skim plow (PL), as effective C. and other weeds conventional ploughing production, field experiment was established. Three different tillage/crop ro...

Oxidative stress is one of the key mechanisms involved in neuronal damage. Neuroprotective effects and underlying mechanisms of action of several wild vegetables, Cirsium setidens (CS), Pleurospermum kamtschaticumin (PK), and Allium victorials (AV), against oxidative stress induced by hydrogen peroxide in SK-N-SH cells were investigated. CS and AV up to 400 μg/mL showed no detectable effects on...

Most risk analysis studies in invasion biology have focused on the invasiveness of non-native species, even though some native species also can pose a high to environment and human well-being. This is especially true under current global change, which may cause dominant expand their range distribution substantial effects ecosystem. In this study, five plant Turkey was evaluated using standard s...
