Papaya ( Carica papaya ) is found throughout Indonesia. flowers contain saponin, tannin, alkaloid, and flavonoid compounds which functions as antibacterial. Escherichia coli a Gram-negative rod bacteria that could be in the human large intestine cause of diarrhea. The study aimed to determine effect flower extract combination with tetracycline antibiotics using smallest concentration capable in...

free radicals involved in a number of diseases due to the oxidative damage to dna, lipids, and proteins and which can result in failure of cellular functions. dried plant bulbs and leaves methanolic and ethanolic extracts were prepared. total antioxidant activities of the methanolic extracts of romulea ramiflora and gagea fibrosa were determined using β-caroten-linoleic acid assay. romulea-bulb...

Oxidative stress and neuroinflammation is implicated in the pathogenesis and development of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Here, we investigated the suppressive possibility of ethanol extract of Nannochloropsis oceanica (N. oceanica) on memory deficiency along with the fundamental mechanisms in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-treated mice model. Among several extracts of 32 marine microalgae, ethanol extra...

thepossible laxative and prokinetic effects of bitter almond were studied: 1- two groups of 7 rats were gavaged with ethanol extract of bitter almond (500mg/kg) or placebo and the number of feces, fecal weight and its percentage of water were studied 18-24h thereafter. 2- ethanol extract of bitter almond (125 or 250mg/ml), lactulose (as positive control) or placebo was randomly injected into je...

Background and objectives: Long-term exposure to opiates induces tolerance to the analgesic effect. The chronic use of opioids in glia cells produces pro-inflammatory mediators such as Tissue Necrosis Factor α and interleukins. Regarding the reports on Ocimum basilicum (Family: Lamiaceae) which has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, it is probable that it could...

Background & Aim: When the level of free radicals is increased and also when both the enzymatic systems and low molecular antioxidants are not sufficient to protect the organism, it seems necessary to get antioxidants from external sources. This study aimed to evaluate the antioxidant potential of different parts of Catharantus roseus Experimental: The antioxidant potential of ethanol...

in order to study the physiological effects of some of the essential oils in comparison with 8-hydroxyquinoline in cut lisianthus flowers (eustoma grandiflorum l.), an experimental was conducted in a completely randomized design with three replications. traetments included 8-hydroxyquinoline, essential oil of australian cheesewood (pittosporum undudatum) and rosmary oil(rosmarinus officinalis) ...

Because of the high energy consumption for fermentor cooling, the isolation of thermo-tolerant Acetobacter strains for vinegar production has a high priority. The aims of this study were the isolation and identification of a high ethanol-thermo-tolerant Acetobacter spp. from grapes as well as the optimization of conditions for increasing the acetic acid production. The grape e...
