Phytotherapy for the correction of excess body weight is widely used. However, a comprehensive study herbal preparations on organism model animals has been carried out only few plant species. Supplementing diet rats with closely related sage species (Salvia officinalis L. and S. sclarea L.) against background high-fat hypercaloric triggered multidirectional changes in their metabolism. The addi...

Crude extracts from Salvia sclarea seeds were known to contain a lectin which specifically agglutinates Tn erythrocytes (Bird, G. W. G., and Wingham, G. (1974) Vox Sang. 26, 163-166). We have purified the lectin to homogeneity by ion-exchange chromatography and affinity chromatography. The agglutinin was found to be a glycoprotein of Mr = 50,000, composed of two identical subunits of Mr = 35,00...

Many plant species synthesize different biochemical substances from their various organs (leaves, flowers, fruits and roots, etc.). While some of these which are known as allelochemicals have a stimulating effect on the growth development other plants, them an inhibitory effect. In this study, extracts obtained Styrax officinalis L., spreads naturally in Mediterranean Aegean regions, seedling S...
