The aim of this study was to compare biological actions between isopropanol and ethanol extracts of Artemisia including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and cytoprotective actions. Antioxidant activities were evaluated using 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) method and confocal microscopy on lipopolysaccharide-induced RGM1 cells, cytoprotection effects evaluated by detecting heme oxygenase-1 ...

BACKGROUND Currently, natural products have been shown to exhibit interesting biological and pharmacological activities and are used as chemotherapeutic agents. The purpose of this study, conducted on Wistar rats, was to evaluate the beneficial effects of Artemisia arborescens oil on oestroprogestative treatment induced damage on liver. MATERIALS/METHODS A total of 36 Wistar rats were divided...

BACKGROUND Artemisia species pollen represents a major cause of allergy in Central Europe. Variations in the pollen season, the influence of climate variables and the prevalence of pollinosis to it were analyzed in Poznan, in western Poland between 1995 and 2004. METHODS A Hirst volumetric spore trap was used for atmospheric sampling. Pollination date trend analysis and Spearman correlation t...

The present work investigates the efficacy of using Artemisia annua in traditional medicine in comparison with chemical extracts of its bioactive molecules. In addition, the effects of location (Egypt and Jericho) on the bioactivities of the plant were investigated. The results showed that water extracts of Artemisia annua from Jericho have stronger antibacterial activities than organic solvent...

this study was carried out to investigate impacts of myrobalan rootstock and blackthorn interstem on fruit growth, physico-chemical features and bioactive compounds of two apricot cultivars (‘harcot’ and ‘roksana’) in 2010 and 2011. fruits of both cultivars on myrobalan and/or blackthorn grew with a classic double sigmoid curve from full bloom time to harvest. during growth and development peri...

Metallic nanoparticles are important substances in medicine. These particles could be prepared by various ways including green synthesis. The production of silver plant extracts is widely used because their environmentally friendly properties. In this study, have been synthesized biological method and Apricot tree (Prunus armeniaca) leaf extract was as reducing agent. color change formation the...
