objective: as the aqueous extract of capparis spinosa (cs) possess antidiabetic effect, he present study aims to reveal the possible  mechanism of action of cs in diabetic mice.materials and methods: both single and repeated oral administrations of aqueous extract of cs were performed in multi-low dose streptozotocin-induced (mlds) diabetic mice. euglycemic hyperinsulinemic clamp was used in as...

The aim of the present study was to investigate the effectiveness of whey proteins when mixed with hot-water extracts of Artemisia and Capparis spp. against lipid peroxidation induced by lead acetate in rats. Chemical composition and antioxidant activities of hot-water extracts of Artemisia and Capparis spp., ingested individually or mixed with whey proteins, were estimated and evaluated. Gluta...

Objective: To evaluate the effect of chemical stimuli on germination and seedling growth of Caper (Capparis Spinosa) under drought stress. Methods: Factorial experiment in a completely randomized design with four replicates per treatment were performed. First factor of priming include three levels of acetylsalicylic acid (300, 200 and 100 mg/L), gibberellic acid levels (500, 250 and 12...

BACKGROUND Spinosad is a macrolide antibiotic produced by Saccharopolyspora spinosa with aerobic fermentation. However, the wild strain has a low productivity. In this article, a computational guided engineering approach was adopted in order to improve the yield of spinosad in S. spinosa. RESULTS Firstly, a genome-scale metabolic network reconstruction (GSMR) for S.spinosa based on its genome...
