Amorfrutins are isoprenoid-substituted benzoic acid derivatives, which were found in Amorpha fruticosa L. (bastard indigo) and in Glycyrrhiza foetida Desf. (licorice). Recently, amorfrutins were shown to be selective activators of the nuclear receptor PPARγ. Here, we investigated the effects and PPARγ-based mechanisms of reducing inflammation in colon cells by treatment with amorfrutins. In TNF...

In the present research two herbal formulations were compared with clindamycin 1% w/w ointment for anti acne activity on acne causing bacteria Propionibacterium acnes and Staphylococcus epidermidis. The herbal formulation (Purodil gel) contains extract of Garcinia indica, Syzygium aromaticum, Glycyrrhiza glabra, Citrus limon, Azadirachta indica, Aloe vera, Hemidesmus indicus, Acorus calamus, Co...

This article illustrates a number of experiments to conduct research on agronomic techniques seedling cultivation from the seeds smooth licorice ( Glycyrrhiza Glabra L ). The analysis results effect irrigation regimes growth and development seedlings, experimental work effects regimens mineral fertilizer rates winter wheat yields was carried out. cost effectiveness growing seedlings also studie...

glycyrrhiza glabra l. is used in folk medicine for treatment of stomach disorders includingpeptic ulcers. the hydroalcoholic extract of glycyrrhiza glabra l. (hegg) was evaluated forantiulcerogenic activity and acute toxicity profile in mice. various doses of hegg (50-200mg/kg) were administered orally to animals of different groups. omeprazole and cimetidine atdoses of 30 and 100 mg/kg were us...

a review of the publications in traditional medicine indicates that the root of glycyrrhiza glabra l., fabaceae, is recommended for treatment of epilepsy. as a renewable source, the leaves of g. glabra var. glandulifera growing in iran were examined for possible anticonvulsant activity. the anticonvulsant activity of the leaves’ ethanol extract and dichloromethane, f1, n-hexane, f1a, and methan...

We present new normally off GaN high-electron-mobility transistors (HEMTs) that overcome the typical limitations in multi-mesa-channel (MMC) width through modulation of the via-hole-length to regulate the charge neutrality screen effect. We have prepared enhancement-mode (E-mode) GaN HEMTs having widths of up to 300 nm, based on an enhanced surface pinning effect. E-mode GaN HEMTs having MMC st...

Disordered GaN nanopillars of three different heights: 300, 550, and 720 nm are fabricated, and demonstrate broad angular and spectral antireflective characteristics, up to an incident angle of 60? and for the wavelength range of lambda=300-1800 nm. An algorithm based on a rigorous coupled-wave analysis (RCWA) method is developed to investigate the correlations between the reflective characteri...

Liquorice is a herbal medicine produced mainly in China and Iran. This plant is suspected to contain ochratoxin A (OTA), a secondary metabolite produced by fungi. Although liquorice is not included in the daily dietary of humans, the high levels of OTA reported in this product have concerned consumers. Registration of a standard method for measuring the amount of this mycotoxin in liquorice-der...

We discuss the derivation and interpretation of a generalized surface phase diagram, based on first-principles density-functional calculations. Applying the approach to hydrogenated GaN surfaces, we find that the Gibbs free energies of relevant reconstructions strongly depend on temperature and pressure. Choosing chemical potentials as variables results in a phase diagram that provides immediat...
