OBJECTIVE The aim of the present study was to evaluate the beneficial degree of sexual behavior in male rats after inducement of onion and ginger in lamotrigine receiving groups. MATERIAL AND METHODS Wistar rats (n=70) (male=35, female=35) were allocated so that males were divided into seven groups: control (n=5) and test groups (n=35). Control group used normal Saline (3 cc for each rat). La...

This study examined the anti-diabetic effect of onion (Allium cepa. Linn) in the streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into normal rats fed control diet or supplemented with onion powder (7% w/w) and diabetic rats fed control diet or supplemented with onion powder. Diabetes was induced by a single injection of STZ (60 mg/kg, ip) in citrate buffer. The...

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of onion powder consumption on treatment of Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) in an experimental model of disease. METHODS Sprague-Dawley rats were fed high-fat (HF) diet for seven weeks to induce the NAFLD. Then, they were treated by either the same diet (HF), or high-fat diet plus 7 % onion powder (HF + onion), or chow die...

Onion routing protocols achieve low-latency anonymous communication on public networks. Up to date, many onion routing protocols have been proposed, such as Tor network, in order to implement the anonymous network connection in the public networks. Although the previous schemes’ multi-pass cryptographic circuit construction appears satisfactory, their circuit construction protocols have some dr...

Iris yellow spot virus (IYSV) has been found consistently in commercial dry bulb onion fields throughout New York State since 2006. Yearly recurrence of IYSV may result from annual reintroductions of the virus or persistence of the virus in overwinte...

in iran, onion plants are currently broadcast over the majority of onion fields and weeding and harvesting are done manually by seasonal workers. at harvest time, 40 worker-days are required to onion dig just one hectare. this cost could be saved if the operation could be carried out by machine. rear-mounted diggers can only be implemented if 40 cm spacing between rows is allowed for each tract...

There always remains need to widen the genetic diversity in onion. Therefore germplasm (five entries) received from Asian Vegetable Research and Development Centre (AVRDC), Taiwan, was primarily evaluated during 2005-06 and 2006-07 along with six ...

Mice fed with diet containing 0.5 % cholesterol for 10 weeks resulted in cholesterol supersaturation in gallbladder bile which promoted the formation of cholesterol gallstones (CGS). In this study, dietary hypocholesterolaemic spices, garlic and onion (both raw or heat-processed) were examined for their antilithogenic potential by including at 0.6 and 2.0 % level, respectively, along with litho...

Allium cepa (onion) has a beneficial effect on disease treatment worldwide and has been used since ancient times as a medicinal and food source. Recently several reports have shown that onion has high antioxidant activity. As antioxidants have an essential effect on sperm health parameters, we investigated the effect of the fresh juice of onion bulbs on the spermatogenesis cycle in rats. Wistar...
