Increasing shoot branch numbers of Chrysanthemum morifolium Ramat cv. Hangbaiju (Hangbaiju) is crucial for producing high flower yields. Pot experiments were designed to evaluate the effects foliar application 6-benzylaminopurine (6-BA) combined with prohexadione-Ca (Pro-Ca) on yield and quality flowers. Foliar 6-BA Pro-Ca typically increased leaf chlorophyll content decreased soluble sugar pro...

Maydis stigma is an important medicine herb used in many parts of the world for treatment of diabetes mellitus, which main bioactive ingredients are flavonoids. This paper describes for the first time a study on the comparative pharmacokinetics of six active flavonoid ingredients of Maydis stigma in normal and diabetic rats orally administrated with the decoction. Therefore, an efficient and se...

Background and objectives: Plants belonging to the genus Tilia L. (Tiliaceae) are often tall beautiful trees which are considered for various medicinal potentials of their flowers and leaves. The present study was an attempt to investigate the phytochemical constituents of Tilia rubra subsp. caucasica leaves from the hyrcanian forests of north of Iran. Methods: Chromatography on Silica gel (nor...

Abstract The present study evaluated the potential of carrot ( Daucus carota L.) leaf, a non-edible part carrots, which are among most consumed vegetables worldwide. antioxidant activities 70% ethanol extract (EEC) and hot water (HEC) leaves were compared. results revealed that total polyphenol content, flavonoid DPPH ABTS radical scavenging higher in EEC than HEC. Both extracts protected cells...

High-dose aqueous extracts from artichoke leaves were found to inhibit cholesterol biosynthesis from 14C-acetate in primary cultured rat hepatocytes in a concentration-dependent biphasic manner with moderate inhibition (approximately 20%) between 0.007 and 0.1 mg/ml and more strong inhibition at 1 mg/ml. Cytotoxic effects detected by lactate dehydrogenase leakage and the 3-[4, 5-dimethylthiazol...
