objective: several studies have shown that chichorium intybus l. (c. intybus) which possesses flavonoid compounds has an effective role in treatment of cardiovascular diseases. contractile dysfunction mostly occurs after acute myocardial infarction, cardiac bypass surgery, heart transplantation and coronary angioplasty. the aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of aqueous extra...

In recent years, green synthesis of nanoparticles has attracted a great attention because of medicine and biological applications. In this work, bismuth oxide nanoparticles (Bi2O3 NP) was prepared via green synthesis using mentha pulegium aqueous extract after 24 h at 90°C. The product was characterized by ultraviolet-visible (UV-VIS) spectrophotometer, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), X-ray ...

BACKGROUND The primary aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that an orally ingested apple polyphenol extract rich in epicatechin and flavan-3-ol oligomers improves endothelium-dependent brachial artery flow-mediated vasodilatation (FMD) in volunteers with borderline hypertension. The secondary aim of the study was to test whether the investigational product would improve endothelium-ind...

The use of natural products in compounded wound care formulas is an exciting avenue to pursue for compounding pharmacists since these natural products may contain compounds that promote healing on their own. The use of these natural extracts as an alternative therapy for wound care may also provide several benefits, such as decreased inflammation, infection, side effects, and treatment costs. T...

this experiment was conducted to determine the chemical composition and gross energy of poultry by product meal (pbpm) and the effects of different levels of inclusion of poultry by product meal on broiler chicken performance, serum uric acid and carcass characteristics. three samples of pbpm produced in ardabil province located in northwest of iran, were provided during one month sampling peri...

background: glycowithanolides (withaferin a), is one of the main withanolides active principle isolated from plant withania somnifera and is claimed that it possess the aphrodisiac, sedative, rejuvenate and life prolonging properties. objective: in the present investigation, antioxidant activity of active principles of withania somnifera was tested against d-galactose induced oxidative stress i...

In this method of analysis for selenium in whole blood by flameless atomic absorption spectrophotometry, 1 mL of sample is first digested with perchloric and nitric acids. After reduction and neutralization, the sample is reacted with 2,3-diaminonaphthalene, and the product is extracted into toluene. Twenty microliters of the extract is injected into the graphite furnace of a flameless atomic a...

Investigations were started to develop methods for isolating beneficial polyphenols from hops. As a result two new types of extracts were developed. One is mainly consisting of prenylflavonoids (main ingredient is xanthohumol). This product is not soluble in water but in ethanol. The other extract is water soluble and rich in glycosidically bound polyphenols (multifidol, quercetin, kaempferol)....
