The pollination syndrome of the African custard apple (Annona senegalensis Pers.; Annonaceae) was investigated to gain insights into reproductive strategy this multipurpose wild shrub. Flower visitors were collected and frequently surveyed in morning on 30 flowers plants per site, at four sites across Sudanian Sudano-Sahelian climatic zones Burkina Faso during flowering season, from May June. A...

Spatial models of vascularized tissues are widely used in computational physiology. We introduce a software library for composing multiscale, multiphysics models for applications including tumor growth, angiogenesis, osteogenesis, coronary perfusion, and oxygen delivery. Composition of such models is time consuming, with many researchers writing custom software. Recent advances in imaging have ...

BACKGROUND Aging is associated with the loss of endocrine function. In this study, Vitex agnus-castus (Vitex), which has antioxidant effects and high levels of phytoestrogen, was investigated with regard to the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis and antioxidant indices in natural aging and in a d-galactose induced aging model in female mice. METHODS The mice were subcutaneously injected with...

OBJECTIVE In this study, we aimed at evaluation of the efficacy of Hypericum perforatum and flaxseed on hot flash, vaginal atrophy and estrogen-dependent cancers in menopausal women. MATERIALS AND METHODS We searched MEDLINE, Scopus, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (RCT) to explore trials that assessed the effectiveness of H. perforatum and flaxseed on hot flash, vagina...

An extract from ripe fruit of Vitex agnus-castus (Vitex) has been used to treat patients with various obstetric and gynecological disorders in Europe. We have demonstrated that Vitex showed cytocidal effects on various types of cancer cell lines including a human colon carcinoma cell line, COLO 201. In this study, we extended our previous study to investigate the detailed mechanisms underlying ...

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of a hydro-alcoholic extract of Vitex agnus-castus (VAC) fruit on blood urea nitrogen (BUN), creatinine (Cr) and, kidney histology of a female mouse model of D-galactose induced aging. In this experimental study, 72 NMRI mice were divided into 6 groups: control, VAC, D-galactose, D-galactose+VAC, aging, and aging+VAC. D-galactose was injec...
