The effect of jasmine tea odor on the autonomic nervous system was investigated by a power spectral analysis of the heart rate variability. We assigned eight volunteers to two groups with either a predilection for or antipathy toward the jasmine tea odor. We tested both high- and low-intensity jasmine tea odors. The low-intensity odor was produced by diluting 20-fold the jasmine tea used for th...

Odors can alter hedonic evaluations of human faces, but the neural mechanisms of such effects are poorly understood. The present study aimed to analyze the neural underpinning of odor-induced changes in evaluations of human faces in an odor-priming paradigm, using event-related potentials (ERPs). Healthy, young participants (N = 20) rated neutral faces presented after a 3 s pulse of a pleasant ...

A counter-intuitive property of many pleasant and attractive stimuli is that they are hedonically complex, containing both pleasant and unpleasant components. A striking example is the floral scent of natural jasmine, which may contain more than 6% of indole, a pure chemical which is usually rated as unpleasant. Using fMRI we investigate the hypothesis that the interaction between the pleasant ...

The new methods of different administration times for the treatment of primary dysmenorrhea are more widely used clinically; however, no obvious mechanism has been reported. Therefore, an animal model which is closer to clinical evaluation is indispensable. A novel animal experiment with different administration times, based on the mice oestrous cycle, for primary dysmenorrhoea treatment was ex...


 Jasminum sambac (L.) Aiton, a plant used in this study to exploit its virucidal as well cytoxic potential against Foot and Mouth Disease Virus (FMDV) by using cell culture technique. FMD virus considered causal agent of the disease which influences domesticated livestock became cause intense sickness. Analysis was done with help extract that collected from stem leaf plant. Extract taken ...
