for sexual reproduction of allium hirtifolium, collected bulbs were planted in the field. in order to develop ovary embryo and seed setting, control self-pollination and natural open pollination took placed using honey bees under cages. ovary development and seed setting of a. hirtifolium extraordinary were affected by pollination and there was a significant difference between mean effect of se...

Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disorder characterized by chronic hyperglycemia. The management of the blood glucose level is a critical strategy in the control of diabetes complications. Inhibitors of carbohydrate hydrolyzing enzymes have been useful as oral hypoglycemic drugs for the control of hyperglycemia especially in patients with type II disables mellitus. The goal of the present study...

Objective: One of the major clinical problems is the resistance of Candida speciestowards most of antifungals. The search for new antifungal drug from plants have helped to overcome this problem. This study evaluated the effects of Allium hirtifolium and Allium sativumextracts on Candida tropicalis both in vitro and in a mouse model of systemic candidiasis. Materials and Methods: In this study,...

epidemiologic studies show that the cardiovascular diseases are associated with multiple factors such as raised serum total cholesterol, increased ldl, increased platelet aggregation, hypertension and smoking. in-vitro studies have confirmed the ability of some plants of allium species to reduce these parameters. therefore, we evaluated anti-platelet aggregation effect of some allium species (a...

Based on experiments showing immunomodulatory effects of garlic (Allium sativum L.), we sought to see whether Allium hirtifolim Boiss., belonging to the same genus of garlic, has any effect on immune responses. Hydroalcoholic extract and polyphenolic fraction of A. hirtifolium bulbs were prepared. Allicin (diallyl thiosulfinate), a biologically active component, was identified in plant bulbs...
