Effect of aqueous extract of several herbs on human platelet aggregation in vitro was investigated. Out of 28 herbs/nutriceuticals investigated, camomile, nettle alfalfa, garlic and onion exhibited most significant anti-platelet activity (>or=45% inhibition). Aqueous extracts of alfalfa, fresh nettle, and camomile inhibited ADP induced-platelet aggregation by 73, 65 and 60%, respectively, compa...

We describe a language-centric approach to solving the complex, low-level, and error-prone problem of network control. Specifically, we have designed a domain-specific language called Nettle, embedded in Haskell, that allows programming OpenFlow networks in an elegant, declarative style. Nettle is based on the principles of functional reactive programming (FRP), and as such has both continuous ...

Stinging nettle (Urtica dioica L.) has a long history of usage and is currently receiving attention as a source of fiber and alternative medicine. In many cultures, nettle is also eaten as a leafy vegetable. In this study, we focused on nettle yield (edible portion) and processing effects on nutritive and dietary properties. Actively growing shoots were harvested from field plots and leaves sep...

Stinging nettle (Urtica dioica. L) is a wild, unique herbaceous perennial flowering plant with Stinging hairs. It has a long history of use as a food sources as a soup or curries, and also used as a fiber as well as a medicinal herb. The current aim was to analyze the composition and bioactive compounds in Nepalese Stinging nettle. Chemical analysis showed the relatively higher level of crude p...

We describe a language-centric approach to solving the complex, low-level, and error-prone nature of network control. Specifically, we have designed a domain-specific language called Nettle, embedded in Haskell, that allows programming OpenFlow networks in an elegant, declarative style. Nettle is designed in layers to accommodate a family of DSLs targeted for specific network applications. The ...

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of some plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) on arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) formation [Brassica oleracea (cauliflower), Spinacia (spinach) ,and Urtica urens (stinging nettle)] belonging Brassicaceae, Chenopodiaceae and Urticaceae families, which are known have a negative influence symbiotic life with AMF. Two PGPR isolates that c...

conclusions it can be concluded that the nettle extract can reduce blood glucose levels in diabetic mice, at least partly, by influencing the glut2 gene expression in mice liver. results the results showed that the nettle extract significantly decreased high levels of blood glucose (p < 0.001). the nettle extract also had a preventive effect on decrease in body weight. in addition, the results ...
