Plain and cinnamon-flavoured baits used in 1080-poisoning operations for brushtail possum control were offered to two captive North Island kaka at Mt Bruce National Wildlife Centre in July 1985. The kaka ate plain baits the first day offered, but were deterred from eating cinnamon-flavoured baits until the second day. INTRODUCTION Carrots and pollard pellets commonly used as carriers of 1080 po...

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of cinnamon on glycemic control in adolescents with type 1 diabetes. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Using a prospective, double-blind, placebo-controlled design, 72 adolescent type 1 diabetic subjects were treated in an outpatient setting with cinnamon (1 g/day) or an equivalent-appearing placebo for 90 days. A1C, total daily insuli...

Long-Evans Cinnamon rats develop a necrotizing hepatitis characterized by excessive hepatic copper accumulation, defective holoceruloplasmin biosynthesis and impaired biliary copper excretion. To elucidate the molecular basis of this defect, a cDNA clone encoding the rat Wilson disease gene was isolated and used to examine gene expression in selected tissues from normal and Long-Evans Cinnamon ...

Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) are transcriptional factors involved in the regulation of insulin resistance and adipogenesis. Cinnamon, a widely used spice in food preparation and traditional antidiabetic remedy, is found to activate PPARgamma and alpha, resulting in improved insulin resistance, reduced fasted glucose, FFA, LDL-c, and AST levels in high-caloric diet-induced...

conclusions the present study showed that cinnamon essential oil when used in combination with nisin, monolaurin or edta demonstrated stronger antimicrobial effect against foodborne pathogens than when used alone. background various studies have been conducted to determine the effects of essential oils and other natural antimicrobials on foodborne pathogens in culture media. objectives the pres...

The purpose of this paper was to evaluate the shelf-life of chitosan and cinnamon oil coated chicken meat nuggets under refrigeration conditions. Three types of coated nuggets were developed viz., Meat coated with Chitosan (1%) and Cinnamon oil (0.05%) (T1), direct addition of Chitosan and Cinnamon oil in emulsion (T2) and nuggets dipped in Chitosan and Cinnamon oil (T3) and were aerobically pa...

OBJECTIVES To evaluate short- and long-term effects of Cinnamomum zeylanicum on food consumption, body weight, glycemic control, and lipids in healthy and diabetes-induced rats. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study was conducted in two phases (Phase I and Phase II), using Sprague-Dawley rats in four groups. Phase I evaluated acute effects on fasting blood glucose (FBG) (Groups 1 and 2) and on post...
