BACKGROUND Sporadic Alzheimer's Disease (SAD) is caused by genetic risk factors, aging and oxidative stresses. The herbal extract of Rosa canina (R. canina), Tanacetum vulgare (T. vulgare) and Urtica dioica (U. dioica) has a beneficial role in aging, as an anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative agent. In this study, the neuroprotective effects of this herbal extract in the rat model of SAD was in...

The objective of this study was to evaluate the biological activities and chemical fingerprint profiles extracts obtained from twelve Achillea L. species (A. lycaonica, A. biebersteinii (syn: arabica), kotschyi subsp. kotschyi, schischkinii, millefolium millefolium, sintenisii, setacea, teretifolia, wilhelmsii santolinoides wilhelmsii), nobilis, goniocephala, spinulifolia). antioxidant, enzyme ...

PURPOSE The aim of our study was to evaluate the effect of in vitro anticancer and cytotoxic activity of the methanolic extracts of 14 medicinal plants, 8 of which are endemic species in Anatolia, against the human HeLa cervical cancer cell line and to compare to the normal African green monkey kidney epithelial cell line (Vero) using the MTT colorimetric assay. METHODS Values for cytotoxicit...

Environmental factors can lead individuals down different developmental pathways giving rise to distinct phenotypes (phenotypic plasticity). The production of winged or unwinged morphs in aphids is an example of two alternative developmental pathways. Dispersal is paramount in aphids that often have a metapopulation structure, where local subpopulations frequently go extinct, such as the specia...
