background: due to high content of unsaturated fatty acids, trout is susceptible to oxidative spoilage. in this study, the effects of thymus vulgaris essential oil (eo) and extract on oxidative stability of cooked rainbow trout fillet during four months frozen storage period were investigated. methods: three groups of fish fillets were treated with thyme eo and three other groups were treated w...

This article provides the data obtained on an extract of the micro-algal Chlorella vulgaris, which was developed andnamed Dermochlorella. Some data were already known, and others were obtained after new in vitro tests ondifferent skin cells and clinical tests made on skin microcirculation, skin restructuring and skin protection againstUV irradiations. All these data conclude tha...

Department of Botany, Andhra University, Visakhapatnam (A.P) 530003, India. ABSTRACT The present investigation is aimed to carryout in vitro antibacterial activities of the methanol and aqueous extracts of Cleome viscosa against seven bacterial species. To evaluate antibacterial activity, the agar well diffusion assay was performed. Methanol extract was showed more antibacterial activity than a...

Disc diffusion assay, micro dilution assay minimum Bactericidal Concentration investigated bacteria extracts. active extract was subjected phytochemical screening, separation phytochemicals by Thin Layer Chromatography, bioactivit...

BACKGROUND/AIMS To investigate the advantage of Chlorella vulgaris supplementation as an adjunctive therapy in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). METHODOLOGY In a randomized, open-label clinical trial, 76 individuals with NAFLD were randomly assigned to: 1) Chlorella group (n=33), receiving C. vulgaris extract (1200 mg/day) + metformin (750 mg/ day) + vitamin E (200 mg/d...

Due to the increasing emergence of drug resistant Tuberculosis (TB), particularly multidrug resistant TB (MDR-TB), extensive-drug resistant TB (XDR-TB) and also the development of resistance in the micro-organisms against available drugs there is a need to develop new, potent, fast-acting antibacterial and antitubercular drugs with low toxicity. With this aim different extracts of Phaseolus vul...

Isolation of immunodiagnostic fraction from Strongylus vulgaris adult worms was described by CNBr-Sepharose 4B affinity column chromatography. The isolation process resulted in a fraction with 2161.5 fold increase in binding activity compared to its crude extract. Characterization of the isolated fraction by SDS polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and isoelectric focusing showed that the fractio...

One billion human adults worldwide are overweight and, thus, more prone to develop cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, and a variety of other chronic contidions. . Dietary supplements that inhibit gastrointestinal amylase are referred to as “starch blockers,” and have been associated with weight loss. Starch blockers may promote weight loss by interfering with breakdown of complex carbohydrates ...

INTRODUCTION The ethyl ether extract from Aquilegia vulgaris (L.) (Ranunculaceae) contains a lot of phenolic acids. Their hydroxyl groups are capable of donating hydrogen atoms at the initial stage of lipid peroxidation (LPO), which inactivates hydroxyperoxides formed from polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) and leads to breakdown of the propagation chain. MATERIAL AND METHODS Rats pretreated...

Hepatocellular carcinoma is the fifth leading cancer causing death worldwide. Currently research focuses on the use of medicinal plants for the treatment of cancer, due to its resistance to chemotherapeutic agents. Objective: The present study pertains to the use of Artemisia vulgaris as a source of anticancer agent. The methanolic extract of the leaves were tested in vitro against HepG2 (hepat...
