Celery (Apium graveolens L.) is a plant that belongs to the Apiaceae family and widely used as medical for low blood pressure, heart tonic, prevent cardiovascular disease. This study aims obtain flavonoid compounds, identify, test antioxidant activity of compounds crude extracts from celery leaves. The research procedures consisted four steps, first which was preliminary test. second step invol...

In isolated phloem segments of celery (Apium graveolens L.), a tissue highly specific for sucrose and mannitol uptake, glucose uptake occurs at very low rates and exhibits biphasic kinetics. Nonpenetrating inhibitors such as parachloromercuribenzene sulfonic acid did not inhibit glucose uptake. However, uptake was greatly inhibited by penetrating inhibitors such as N-ethylmaleimide and carbonyl...

Mannitol dehydrogenase, a mannitol:mannose 1-oxidoreductase, constitutes the first enzymatic step in the catabolism of mannitol in nonphotosynthetic tissues of celery (Apium graveolens L.). Endogenous regulation on the enzyme activity in response to environmental cues is critical in modulating tissue concentration of mannitol, which, importantly, contribute to stress tolerance of celery. The en...

Human cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2A6 participates in the metabolism of nicotine and precarcinogens, thus the deliberate inhibition of CYP2A6 may reduce cigarette consumption and therefore reduce the risk of developing the types of cancer associated with smoking. The inhibitory effects and mechanisms of celery (Apium graveolens) extract on mouse CYP2A5 and human CYP2A6 activity remain unclear. These ...

Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT), also known as hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy, is the most common inherited peripheral nerve disorder. Missense mutations, such as K141N, in the small heat shock protein HSPB8 are known to cause distal hereditary motor neuropathy 2A (dHMN2A) or Charcot-Marie-Tooth neuropathy type 2L (CMT2L). However, of critical clinical significance, very few specific...

Cognitive impairment is a common finding in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), but little attention has been focused on therapeutic intervention for this complication. Chronic intermittent hypoxia hypercapnia (CIHH) exposure is considered to be responsible for the pathogenesis of COPD. Dl-3n-Butylphthalide (NBP), extracted from Apium graveolens Linn, has displayed a bro...

Mannitol is the most abundant sugar alcohol in nature, occurring in bacteria, fungi, lichens, and many species of vascular plants. Celery (Apium graveolens L.), a plant that forms mannitol photosynthetically, has high photosynthetic rates thought to results from intrinsic differences in the biosynthesis of hexitols vs. sugars. Celery also exhibits high salt tolerance due to the function of mann...

مصرف گیاهان دارویی، در درمان بیماری‏ها قدمت چند هزار ساله دارد و اثرات درمانی آنها به اثبات رسیده است. کرفس کوهی با نام علمی apium graveolens از تیره umbeliferae گیاهی دوساله و روز بلند است. این گیاه حاوی فیتو استروژن بوده و اثرات زیادی در سیستم تولیدمثلی دارد. در این تحقیق اثر عصاره هیدروالکلی برگ کرفس کوهی بر تغییرات بافتی بیضه و اسپرماتوژنز در موش‏های نر کوچک آزمایشگاهی گونه balb/c بررسی شد....
