BACKGROUND Stomatitis is the most common complication of chemotherapy. This study aimed to assess the effect of aloe vera solution on stomatitis and its pain intensity in patients undergoing chemotherapeutic procedures. METHODS In this randomized controlled clinical trial, 64 patients with Acute Myeloid Leukemia and Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia undergoing chemotherapy were randomly divided into...

Aloe vera inhibits inflammation and adjuvant-induced arthritis. The authors' laboratory has shown that A. vera improves wound healing, which suggests that it does not act like an adrenal steroid. Diabetic animals were used in this study because of their poor wound healing and anti-inflammatory capabilities. The anti-inflammatory activity of A. vera and gibberellin was measured in streptozotocin...

BACKGROUND An overdose of the acetaminophen causes liver injury. This study aims to examine the anti-oxidative, anti-inflammatory effects of Aloe vera in mice with acetaminophen induced hepatitis. METHODS Male mice were randomly divided into three groups (n = 8 each). Control group were given orally distilled water (DW). APAP group were given orally N-acetyl-P-aminophenol (APAP) 400 mg/kg sus...

Aloe vera has been used worldwide both for pharmaceutical, food, and cosmetic industries due to the plethora of biological activities of some of its metabolites. The aim of this study was to evaluate the antifungal and antioxidant activities of the leaf extract. The antifungal activity was determined by the agar-well diffusion method against plant and human fungal pathogens. The methanol and et...

in this study, the immunostimulatory effect of dietary aloe vera crude extract was investigated in cyprinus carpio. three hundred fish were randomly divided into four groups. the first group was immunized with aeromonas hydrophila bacterin (a.h) and was fed a diet contained 0.5% aloe vera. the second group was immunized with a.h and fed a diet without aloe vera. the third group was not immunize...

introduction: diabetes mellitus impairs the metabolism of carbohydrates, lipids and proteins, which leads to the dysfunction of the central and peripheral nervous system. this study evaluates the effects of an aloe vera hydro-alcoholic extract on diabetic neuropathy. materials and methods: for this study, 48 healthy male sprague dawley rats(weighed 250-200 g) were randomly divided in to three g...

one of the main constraints in aloe vera production is poor information about optimum nutrients that are helpful for growth and production. the objective of this study was to optimize nutrient solution for aloe vera cultivation in soilless culture. therefore, to determine the best nutrients the experiment was conducted in a greenhouse during 2011 in the agricultural faculty, university of guila...

AIM To compare the effects of Aloe vera and sucralfate on gastric microcirculatory changes, cytokine levels and gastric ulcer healing. METHODS Male Spraque-Dawley rats (n=48) were divided into four groups. Group1 served as control group, group 2 as gastric ulcer group without treatment, groups 3 and 4 as gastric ulcer treatment groups with sucralfate and Aloe vera. The rats from each group we...

BACKGROUND There is worldwide interest in silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) synthesized by various chemical reactions for use in applications exploiting their antibacterial activity, even though these processes exhibit a broad range of toxicity in vertebrates and invertebrates alike. To avoid the chemical toxicity, biosynthesis (green synthesis) of metal nanoparticles is proposed as a cost-effective...
