In this study, the therapeutic effects of Pistacia terebinthus L. subsp. Palaestina (terebinth) and Rhus coriaria L (sumac) plants on DMBA-induced breast cancer in 66 female Sprague-Dawley rats were investigated through biochemical analysis. The divided into 6 groups as Control, DMBA (7.12-Dimethylbenzanthracene), PT (terebinth), RC (sumac), PT+DMBA RC+DMBA. was administered to 8-week-old via g...

BACKGROUND The drive toward the use of medicinal plants has been increasing in recent years. They have few side effects and a large variety of efficient components. OBJECTIVES This study was designed to investigate the analgesic effects of hydroalcoholic Rhus coriaria leaf extract (HRCLE) in a rat model. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 42 adult male rats were divided into seven groups: a c...

Background and Purpose Oxidative stress is involved in normal and pathological functioning of skeletal muscle. Protection of myoblasts from oxidative stress may improve muscle contraction and delay aging. Here we studied the effect of R. coriaria sumac fruit extract on human myoblasts and zebrafish embryos in conditions of hydrogen peroxide-induced oxidative stress. Study Design and Methods C...

Natural dyes gained increasing attention due to environmental considerations. Many of the dye plants have also medicinal values. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of 25 plants as dyes and their dyed wool yarns against microorganisms. Prokaryotes were found to be more sensitive to dye extracts than eukaryotic microorganisms and dyestuff from Punica granatum, Berberis vulgaris, Agrimoni...

Rhus coriaria L. is known as Sumac. R. coriaria extracts are important in drug development with numerous pharmacological reputations in the South-Eastern Anatolia, Mediterranean area and Western Asia especially in Iran. Regarding the new multi-functional properties of R. coriaria and the related valuable ongoing reports, we were prompted to review the phytochemical an...

Objectives: This study has been done to evaluate the interaction between ethanolic extracts of Rhus coriaria (seed), Psidium guajava (Leaf), Lawsonia inermis (Leaf) and Sacropoterium spinosum (seed) and antimicrobial drugs including oxytetracycline HCl, enrofloxacin, gentamicin sulphate and sulfadimethoxine against four clinical isolates of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Me...

Abstract Goat yogurt samples fortified with 20% (w/v) Rhus coriaria leaf powder were in vitro digested order to evaluate the total phenolic content (TPC), antioxidant activity (AA), and bioaccessibility of compounds digestate. After digestion, TPC AA values R. coriaria-fortified yogurts increased compared undigested (P < 0.001). In particular, has about twice; whereas, have 10 6 times, for ABTS...
