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...

Objective: Diabetes mellitus is the most common metabolic disorders with severe impact on quality of life. Reducing serum glucose levels and normalization of serum lipid is of great clinical importance for treating diabetes. To our knowledge, there are not any evidences about the anti-diabetic action of capparis spinosa root. In the present study the effects of the C. spinosa root extract on di...
