The Cichorium plant is considered one of the medicinal plants that have been known since ancient times, as Egyptians used it 4000 years ago, they believed in its important role treating heart and liver diseases. scientific name Chicory (Cichorium intybus L.) a part Asteraceae family (the tribe Lactuceae)., so current study aims to know effect biologically active substances on biochemical change...

Four cultivars that had performed more favorably of several evaluated in 2000 Spring studies were compared on three plastic mulches and a bare ground control in Spring 2001. All cultivars performed similarly on the plastic, for the most part all performing better than on the bare ground. As in previous studies, the percentage of plants forming marketable was less than desirable, ranging from a ...

The effects of different concentrations of the hydroalcoholic extract of dried powdered leaves of Cichorium intybus L., on CCl4-induced hepatotoxicity in vivo in rats and CCl4-induced cytotoxicity in isolated rat hepatocytes were investigated. Rats received different concentrations of the extract by i.p. injection for 3 consecutive days before the injection of (3ml/kg) CCl4 (i.p.). Twenty four ...

Cell injury associated with reactive oxygen species (ROS) has been reported in various muscular disorders. We found that a Cichorium intybus (Cii) extract reduced H(2)O(2)-induced viability loss in C2C12 myoblasts, inhibited oxidative stress-induced apoptosis and increased intracellular heat shock protein 70 (Hsp 70) expression. Cii also inhibited the level of intracellular ceramide. These resu...

A "novel" protocol is presented for easy and reliable estimation of soluble hydroxycinnamate levels in Cichorium intybus L. leaf tissue in large-scale experiments. Samples were standardized by punching 6 discs per leaf, and hydroxycinnamates were extracted by submerging the discs in 80% ethanol with 5% acetic acid for at least 48 h in the darkness at 4°C. Residual dry mass of the discs was used...

the study was conducted to investigate the effect of humic acid on the germination properties of medicinal plants borago officinalis and cichorium intybus in a completely randomized design with five replications. experimental treatment comprised the following dosages 0, 15, and 30 g l-1. the results revealed that effect of humic acid on the germination properties of c. intybus was significant (p

objectives this study explored the qualitative and quantitative antibacterial potential of c. intybus. further qualitative analysis of phytochemical content was performed. methods cichorium intybus seed extracts were prepared in aqueous, chloroform, ethanol, and hexane separately. results all the extracts of c. intybus seeds were screened for antibacterial activity and phytochemical content. ci...
