Coriandrum sativum (coriander) has been documented as a traditional treatment of diabetes. In the present study, coriander incorporated into the diet (62.5 g/kg) and drinking water (2.5 g/l, prepared by 15 min decoction) reduced hyperglycaemia of streptozotocin-diabetic mice. An aqueous extract of coriander (1 mg/ml) increased 2-deoxyglucose transport (1.6-fold), glucose oxidation (1.4-fold) an...

The contents of lead (Pb), copper (Cu), chromium (Cr), zinc (Zn) and cadmium (Cd) in various leafy vegetables viz., spinach, coriander, lettuce, radish, cabbage and cauliflower grown in an effluent irrigated fields in the vicinity of an industrial area of Faisalabad, Pakistan were assessed using atomic absorption spectrophotometer. The concentrations of Pb, Cu, Cr, Zn and Cd in the leaves, stem...

Twenty-two local Thai culinary herbs and spices normally used for cooking were screened for their antioxidant properties by using FRAP, DPPH and TBARS assays. Four ethanolic extracts, i.e., holy basil, Vietnamese coriander, turmeric and green peppercorn, having high antioxidant properties were selected for freeze-drying and used in the pork meatball batter. The batter of pork meatball was prepa...

Present investigation focused on antimicrobial potential of aqueous infusions and aqueous decoctions of Emblica officinalis (amla) and Coriandrum sativum (coriander) against 186 bacterial isolates belonging to 10 different genera of G +ve bacterial population and 2 isolates of Candida albicans isolated from urine specimens. The well diffusion technique was employed. Aqueous infusion and decocti...

The antioxidant activity of four honey samples from different floral sources (Acacia, Coriander, Sider and Palm) were evaluated with three different assays; DPPH free radical scavenging assay, superoxide anion generated in xanthine-xanthine oxidase (XOD) system and low density lipoprotein (LDL) peroxidation assay. The dark Palm and Sider honeys had the highest antioxidant activity in the DPPH a...

OBJECTIVE Losing weight in consequence of appetite loss can be a sign of a serious underlying condition. Currently, the most widely prescribed medication for anorexia is cyproheptadine hydrochloride. However, the clinical use of cyproheptadine hydrochloride is limited by its side effects. In Iranian traditional medicine, Coriandrum sativum stimulates the appetite.

MATERIALS AND METHODS Colitis was induced by intra-rectal administration of 2ml acetic acid 4% in fas...

The present study describes antioxidant effect of Coriandrum sativum against lead nitrate induced toxicity in mice. Oxidative stress was induced in mice by a daily dose of lead nitrate (40 mg/kg body weight by oral gavage) for seven days. From day eight, after lead nitrate treatment, experimental animals received an oral dose of coriander extracts (aqueous extract 300 mg/kg body weight and 600 ...
