objective: the aim of present study was to evaluate the effects of oral administration of gallic acid (ga) for 21 days alone and in combination with exercise on nerve conduction velocity and sensory and motor functions in rats with sciatic nerve crush. materials and methods: seventy adult male wistar rats (250-300 g) were divided randomly into 7 groups with 10 in each: 1) control (cont), 2) cru...

Chitosan films incorporated with various concentrations of gallic acid were prepared and investigated for antimicrobial, mechanical, physical and structural properties. Four bacterial strains that commonly contaminate food products were chosen as target bacteria to evaluate the antimicrobial activity of the prepared gallic acid-chitosan films. The incorporation of gallic acid significantly incr...

Gallic acid is one of the major flavonoids found in plants. It acts as an antioxidant, and seems to have anti-inflammatory, anti-viral, and anti-cancer properties. In this study, we investigated the effects of gallic acid on melanogenesis, including the activation of melanogenesis signaling pathways. Gallic acid significantly inhibited both melanin synthesis and tyrosinase activity in a dose- a...

the present study aimed to evaluate the protective effect of gallic acid on gastric mucosal lesions caused by ischemia-reperfusion (i/r) injury in rat. forty male rats were randomly divided into sham, control (i/r injury) and three gallic acid-pretreated groups. to induce i/r lesions, the celiac artery was clamped for 30 min and then the clamp was removed to allow reperfusion for 6 hr. pretreat...

Gallic acid is a trihydroxybenzoic acid, also known as 3,4,5-trihydroxybenzoic acid, which is present in plants worldwide, including Chinese medicinal herbs. Gallic acid has been shown to have cytotoxic effects in certain cancer cells, without damaging normal cells. The objective of the present study was to determine whether gallic acid is able to inhibit human cervical cancer cell viability, p...

Anhydrous 3,4,5-trihy-droxy-benzoic acid, C(7)H(6)O(5), is essentially planar, with its non-H atoms exhibiting mean and maximum deviations from coplanarity of 0.014 and 0.0377 (5) Å, respectively. The C-C-C-OH torsion angle about the bond linking the carboxyl group to the benzene ring is -0.33 (10)°. In the crystal, the -COOH groups form centrosymmetric hydrogen-bonded cyclic dimers [graph set ...

Platelet activation and its interaction with leukocytes play an important role in atherothrombosis. Cardiovascular diseases resulted from atherothrombosis remain the major causes of death worldwide. Gallic acid, a major constituent of red wine and tea, has been believed to have properties of cardiovascular protection, which is likely to be related to its antioxidant effects. Nonetheless, there ...

The discovery of drugs for the treatment of inflammatory allergic diseases such as, asthma, allergic rhinitis, and sinusitis is a very important subject in human health. Gallic acid (3,4,5-trihydroxybenzoic acid), a polyphenyl natural products from gallnut and green tea, is known to have anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial, and radical scavenging activities. The aim of the present s...

conclusions gallic acid and csa combination improved antioxidant capacity and cell membrane integrity more than each one alone. therefore, it can be a therapeutic approach to reduce the i/r injury. background myocardial infarction is one of the important causes of death during old ages. gallic acid as an antioxidant or cyclosporine a (csa) as inhibitor of mitochondrial permeability transition p...
