Imazapyr, metsulfuron methyl, imazapyr plus metsulfuron methyl, and hexazinone plus metsulfuron methyl were aerially applied over newly planted and l-year-old loblolly pine seedlings for the control of blackberry (Rubus species), composites (Compositae), sumac (Rhus copallina L.), and trumpet vine [Campsis radicans (L.) Seemann]. The study was installed at three locations with three replication...

It has become evident (Osborn, 1943; Lucas and Lewis, 1944) that higher plants are potential sources of antibiotic agents. Several investigators (Little and Grubaugh, 1946; Atkinson and Rainsford, 1946; Sanders, Weatherwax, and McClung, 1945) have reported antibiotic effects of juices and of crude extracts of plants on various microorganisms. The active materials can be separated in some degree...

BACKGROUND Sumac (Rhus coriaria L.) has been used in traditional treatment of some diseases. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of sumac (R. coriaria L.) powder on insulin resistance (IR), malondialdehyde (MDA), high sensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), and paraoxonase 1 (PON1) activity in type 2 diabetic patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS A double-blind randomized placebo contr...

Sumac is the common name for a genus (Rhus) that contains over 250 individual species of flowering plants in the family Anacardiaceae. These plants are found in temperate and tropical regions worldwide, often grow in areas of marginal agricultural capacity, and have a long history of use by indigenous people for medicinal and other uses. The research efforts on sumac extracts to date indicate a...

OBJECTIVES Sumac (Rhus coriaria L.) is widely used spice which has several properties such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial. The purpose of this animal study was to evaluate the effects of sumac extract on levels of receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappa B ligand (RANKL), osteoprotegerin (OPG) expression, serum oxidative status, and alveolar bone loss in experimental peri...

sumac (rhus coriaria l.) is used as an herbal remedy in traditional medicine. the aim of this study was to determine the effects of sumac (rhus coriaria l.) on serum glycemic status, apolipoprotein (apo) b, apoa-i and total antioxidant capacity (tac) in type 2 diabetic patients. this double blind randomized controlled clinical trial was conducted on 41 type 2 diabetic volunteers randomly assign...

The microbiota affects host health, and dysbiosis is involved in colitis. Sorghum bran influences butyrate concentrations during dextran sodium sulfate (DSS) colitis, suggesting microbiota changes. We aimed to characterize the microbiota during colitis, and ascertain if polyphenol-rich sorghum bran diets mitigate these effects. Rats (n = 80) were fed diets containing 6% fiber from cellulose, or...
