Growth and quality attributes were quantified in Cichorium intybus L. endivia response to the nitrate supply. Chicory was grown Italy, a cold greenhouse from 11 of February 2020, pot with commercial soil sand without 12 mM Ca(NO3)2. Seventy-six days after sowing, growth variables, contents leaf root carbohydrates (glucose, fructose sucrose starch fructans), carbon, sulphate phosphate measured. ...

Purpose: To evaluate the acticonvulsant activity of Cichorium intybus (C. intybus) and Taraxacum serotinum (T. serotinum) in maximal electroshock (MES), as well as pentylenetetrazole (PTZ)and strychnine nitrate (STN) induced seizure models in rats. Methods: For each model, 8 groups of Swiss albino rats (n=10) were used. The 1st group was kept as control, 2nd as standard (diazepam, 7.5 mg/kg); 3...

Chicory (Cichorium intybus L.) is a low-height perennial or biennial herb from the family of Asteraceae. Investigation different in vitro regeneration strategies Cichorium and increasing number secondary metabolites regenerated plant samples were aims research. Callus regenerations achieved basal growth media supplemented with regulators (PGRs). Whole was carried out by direct organogenesis lea...

The effects of different concentrations of the hydroalcoholic extract of dried powdered leaves of Cichorium intybus L., on CCl4-induced hepatotoxicity in vivo in rats and CCl4-induced cytotoxicity in isolated rat hepatocytes were investigated. Rats received different concentrations of the extract by i.p. injection for 3 consecutive days before the injection of (3ml/kg) CCl4 (i.p.). Twenty four ...
