BACKGROUND Treatment of ischemic hypertensive patients with hydrochlorothiazide can precipitate cardiac arrhythmias. Green tea, by virtue of its antioxidant potential, is responsible for cardio-protective activity. OBJECTIVE The present study was under taken to evaluate the pharmacodynamic interaction of green tea extract with hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) against doxorubicin (DOX)-induced myoca...

The main objective of this study was to assess the in vitro effects of curcuminoids extract, hydrolyzed collagen and green tea extract in normal bovine chondrocytes and osteoarthritic human chondrocytes cultured in monolayer. This study also investigated the synergic or additive effects of these compounds. Enzymatically isolated primary bovine or human chondrocytes were cultured in monolayer un...

Background and Aim: Because of complexity in root canals, irrigating solutions are needed in addition to mechanical instrumentation for thorough cleansing of the root canal system. This in-vitro study was designed to determine the inhibitory effect of arginine, protamine, and aqueous extracts of green tea and aloe vera against Enterococcus faecalis (E. faecalis), which causes endodontic failure...
