Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a metabolic syndrome caused by multiple genetic and environmental factors. Traditional Chinese medicine preparations have shown a comprehensive and function-regulating characteristic. Purslane (Portulaca oleracea L.) is an annual succulent herb. Currently, there have been some related reports on the treatment of diabetes with purslane. The current study was designed to...

diabetes mellitus is one of the most common causes of neuropathy. although antioxidant and antidiabetic effects of the aqueous extract of purslane (portulaca oleracea) (aeop) have been demonstrated before by other researchers, we did not find any study that assessed the psychobiological effects of aeop in diabetes induced animals. thirty ovariectomized (ovx) female wistar rats were randomly div...

abstract        background and objective: osteoporosis is one of the complications of diabetes. the aim of this study was to determine the impact of resistance training along with portulaca oleracea supplementation on opg and nfκb levels (bone markers) in women with type ii diabetes.        methods: overall, 28 women with type ii diabetes (44 to 60 years old) were randomly and equally assigned ...

OBJECTIVE To identify anti-hypoxia ingredients extracted from Portulaca oleracea and to find out the possible mechanism of its anti-hypoxia actions. METHODS Seventy mice were randomly divided into seven groups which were untreated (normal saline), ginsenosides-treated, polysaccharide-treated, acidic components-treated, basic components-treated, alkaloids-treated and flavones-treated groups, a...

The choice of leaf-killing technique was found to affect significantly the distribution of label among early labeled photosynthetic products in two C(4) plants, Portulaca oleracea and Zea mays. The major effect of these procedures was on the amount of amino acids present, particularly alanine, and the ratio of malate to aspartate. Killing Portulaca leaves in alcohol generally results in more al...

Cyanide inhibited unesterified fatty acid synthesis but stimulated glyceride synthesis from [1-(14)C]acetate when Spinacia oleracea chloroplasts were incubated in basal media. Both unesterified fatty acid and glyceride accumulation were inhibited when chloroplasts were incubated in a diacylglycerol mode. Stimulation of chloroplast fatty acid synthesis by either exogenous coenzyme A or Triton X-...

BACKGROUND Portulaca oleracea Linn. (Portulacaceae) is commonly known as purslane in English. In traditional system it is used to cure diarrhea, dysentery, leprosy, ulcers, asthma, and piles, reduce small tumors and inflammations. AIM To assess cytotoxic potential of chloroform extract of P. oleracea whole plant against human colon adenocarcinoma (HCT-15) and normal (Vero) cell line. MATERI...

The influence of solvent polarity for hydroethanol (a), chloroform (b), and carbon tetrachloride (c) on bioactive extraction contents Portulaca oleracea (II) Achillea eriophora DC (III) were evaluated by GC-MS analysis. antidiabetic antilipidemic properties different extracts investigated streptozotocine-induced diabetic rats compared to glibenclamide as well-known chemical drug the treatment d...
