in order to investigate the effect of cycocel on different growth aspects of two olive cultivars (mary and mission), a greenhouse experiment was conducted taking into account three factors of: cycocel at three levels (0, 500 and 1000 mg l-1), drought stress of three levels (irrigated at 5, 10 and 15 days intervals) and two olive cultivars (mary and mission) in a factorial experiment based on ra...

The antiatherosclerotic effect of aqueous leaves extract of Morus rubra was studied in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats fed with atherosclerotic (Ath) diet [1.5 ml olive oil containing 8 mg (3, 20,000 IU) vitamin D2 and 40 mg cholesterol] for 5 consecutive days. A short-term toxicity assessment was also conducted in healthy rats to examine toxic effects of the extract. Oral administration o...

conclusions these results indicate the lipid-lowering effects of quince leaf similar to atorvastatin and it can probably serve as a new potential natural product for atherosclerosis treatment. results oral administration of cholesterol for 8 weeks resulted in a significant increase (p < 0.05) in plasma markers. treatment with the extract at dose of 50 mg/kg and 0.5 mg/kg of atorvastatin not onl...

Methods C56BL/6 mice were sensitized by intranasal administration of olive extract+cholera toxin B, for 6 weeks. Then, mice received immunotherapy (IT) treatment by subcutaneous (sc) injection of dendrimer-Ole1±50 mg of CpG, for 8 weeks. Seven days after the IT, mice were challenged with 100 mg of olive extract (ip). Severity of anaphylaxis was measured by drop in body temperature and the humor...

The effects of increasing the NaF concentration supplied through the irrigation water on some photosynthetic and physiological features of young olive trees grown under the ambient environmental conditions of an arid climate in Sfax, Tunisia, were investigated. Thirty-six uniform one-year-old self-rooted olive trees (Olea europaea L. cv Chemlali) were transplanted into 5 L pots and irrigated fo...
