Akhardal (Sinapis alba L.) Brassicaceae familyasına ait Sinapis cinsi içerisinde bulunan Türkiye’de önemli iki türünden biridir. Son yıllarda ülkemizde yapılan yabancı ot surveylerinde tarım alanlarında rastlanılan bir ottur. Buçalışma, Manisa ili tarlalarından 2019 yılında rastlantısal olarak toplanan akhardal (S. tohumlarıyla gerçekleştirilmiş olup, bu türüne tohumların minimum, optimum ve ma...

the present study investigates the antioxidant potential of the ethyl acetate fraction of the aerial parts eclipta alba l. hassk (eaea) which was widely used as hepatoprotective plant. eaea was orally administered at doses of 50, 100 and 200 mg/kg for 7 days in male charles foster rats. the extent of hepatoprotective potential of e . alba was studied by assessing the biochemical parameters like...

Many Gram-negative pathogens have the ability to produce N-acylhomoserine lactones (AHLs) as signal molecules for quorum sensing (QS). This cell-cell communication system allows them to coordinate gene expression and regulate virulence. Strategies to inhibit QS are promising for the control of infectious diseases or antibiotic resistant bacterial pathogens. The aim of the present study was to e...

Brassica napus L. and Sinapis alba L. are two cruciferous species for which some medicinal uses are mentioned in the Iranian, Indian and Chinese traditional medicine. Seed oil of  B. napus has cathartic action, and is either used as such or after partial hydrogenation for cooking, shortening or as margarines. Sees of S. alba have also cathartic action and some other medicinal uses but, beca...

Lippia alba (Mill.) N.E. Brown (Verbenaceae) is widely used in different regions of Central and South America as a tranquilizer. The plant's anxiolytic properties, however, merit investigation. The present study evaluated the effects of repeated daily (14 days) intraperitoneal (ip) treatment with an essential oil (EO) from a chemotype of L. alba (LA, chemotype II, 12.5 and 25 mg/kg; N = 6-8) an...

Leaves and roots are used as hepatic tonic rejuvenates hair, cirrhosis, ear aches, hepatitis, headache and enlarged spleen. Studies on the hepatoprotective activity on methanolic extract and sub fractions of leaves and the chloroform extract and sub fractions of roots of Eclipta alba was carried out using carbon tetrachlorideinduced liver damage and Lysosomal enzymes level in wistar albino rats...

The objective of this study was to identify the possible involvement of the GABAergic system in the anesthetic effect of Lippia alba essential oil (EO). We propose a new animal model using silver catfish (Rhamdia quelen) exposed to an anesthetic bath to study the mechanism of action of EO. To observe the induction and potentiation of the anesthetic effect of EO, juvenile silver catfish (9.30 ± ...

Cytogenetic analyses, of pollen viability, nuclear DNA content and RAPD markers were employed to study three chemotypes of Lippia alba (Mill.) (Verbenaceae) in order to understand the genetic variation among them. Different ploidy levels and mixoploid individuals were observed. This work comprises the first report of different chromosome numbers (cytotypes) in L. alba. The chromosome numbers of...

The traditional approach of repairing the linea alba, while operating on ventral hernias, is based on the premise that the linea alba is a strong layer and can reinforce the abdominal wall. This deeply entrenched view of most surgeons has resulted in numerous techniques which invariably include the linea alba as a part of the repair. On the contrary, this article proposes a hypothesis that the ...
