The activity of Cinnamomum zeylanicum Nees essential oil (cinnamon oil) against Paenibacillus larvae (Withe) was evaluated in the laboratory and in a field experiment in order to improve the biological control of the Apis mellifera L. disease American foulbrood (AFB). The MICs (Minimal Inhibitory Concentration) against P. larvae were determined by the tube dilution method. Bee lethality was est...

To investigate the effects of fermented brown rice (FBRA) on the development of hereditary hepatitis in LongEvans Cinnamon (LEC) rats, we compared the incidence and grades of acute hepatitis among rats fed 5% and 10% FBRA in the conventional diet and the conventional diet alone. Both the 5% and 10% FBRA-supplemented diets indicated a tendency to prevent the development of hepatitis, and the sig...

INTRODUCTION Cinnamon is currently marketed as a remedy for obesity, glucose intolerance, diabetes mellitus and dyslipidaemia. Integrative medicine is a new concept that combines conventional treatment with evidence-based complementary therapies. AIM The aim of this review is to critically evaluate the experimental evidence available for cinnamon in improving glycaemic targets in animal model...

Angiogenesis is a process of new blood vessel generation and under pathological conditions, lead to tumor development, progression, and metastasis. Many bioactive components have been studied for its antiangiogenic properties as a preventive strategy against tumor development. This study is focused on the effects of cinnamon extract in modulating the pathway involved in angiogenesis. Human umbi...

Cinnamon has been used for neuralgia on the knees and waist, and it is shown to have a wide antibacterial spectrum in both Gram-positive bacteria and Gram-negative bacteria. In this study, glucosyltransferase adhesive ability, acid-production suppression effect, and antibacterial activity were measured to identify the anti-caries effect of cinnamon extract. It was shown that cinnamon extract ef...

BACKGROUND High oxalate intake resulting from consuming supplemental doses of cinnamon and turmeric may increase risk of hyperoxaluria, a significant risk factor for urolithiasis. OBJECTIVE This study assessed urinary oxalate excretion from supplemental doses of cinnamon and turmeric as well as changes in fasting plasma glucose, cholesterol, and triacylglycerol concentrations. DESIGN Eleven...

background and objective: gentimicin is an antibiotic from the family of aminoglycosides used in the treatment of infections resulted from gram-negative bacteria, the use of which is limited due to its nephrotoxicity. in this study the histological effect of cinnamon on the nephrotoxicity resulted from gentimicin in rats is investigated because of the antioxidant properties of cinnamon.material...

combining antimicrobial agents directly into a food packaging is a form of active packaging. in this study chitosan-based edible films containing thyme and cinnamon essential oils at 0.5%, 1%, and 1.5% v/v were prepared to examine their antibacterial, physical and mechanical properties. scanning electron microscopy was carried out to explain structure-property relationships. films were more eff...
