the major objectives of this study were to find out the mechanism behind the sapstaining fungal hyphae penetration into wood elements using electron microscope and to evaluate the exact role of phenolic compounds existing in wood vinegar towards the sapstaining fungal growth inhibition. to formulate the new environmental friendly wood preservative, we neutralized (to ph 7) wood vinegar with nao...

with using antibiotic in societies which usage of this kind of the drug without any limitation cause appear resistance against antibiotics.this survey consider to use the extract and essence of the cinnamon (which have a so many rate of planting in iran) and also survey on extract on bacteria whose cause urinary tract infections, and compare this with common antibiotics. this study was experime...

some plant extracts showed the ability to retard the diffusion of glucose across the dialysis tube. the present study was designed to investigate the effect of aqueous and ethanolic extracts of teucrium polium (t. polium) on glucose movement across the dialysis tube. the t. polium powder was dissolved in ethanol and distilled water. then glucose was added to make a final concentration of 0.2 – ...

objective: the aim of the present study was to elucidate the possible biochemical improving effect in lipid metabolic that may result from continuous treatment with green tea extract in normal albino rats and those rendered hyperlipidemic by long term supplementation of fat-enriched diet. materials and methods: fifty male albino rats aged six weeks with 200±10 g weight were randomly divided int...

objective: antioxidants are considered as the main factors in the inhibition of unwanted oxidation reactions. materials and methods: in this research the antioxidant potential of the fresh fruits of 4 cultivars (a to d) of malus domestica (m. domestica) cultivated in the kashan, qamsar area was evaluated. the antioxidant activity of the samples were evaluated using two complementary antioxidant...

use of natural antimicrobial compounds extracted from plants such as cinnamon as preservative to extend the shelf life has gain much attention. in this study, we evaluated the antimicrobial activity and bio- preservative potential of the methanolic extract of cinnamomum verum bark and its oil against bacillus subtilis , pseudomonas aeruginosae and escherichia coli in ketchup sauce. in order to ...

the antioxidant properties of ruta graveolens l. were evaluated by two different methods; free radical scavenging using dpph and inhibition of lipid peroxidation by the ferric thiocyanate method. the ic50 value of the methanol extract in dpph inhibition was 200.5 μg/ml which was acceptable in comparison with bht (41.8 μg/ml). in thiocyanate method, the plant extract demonstrated activity as muc...

background & aim: considering that antioxidants are known as effective free radicals scavenger, it may be able to improve the in vitro oocyte maturation and the fetal quality. this study was designed to determine the effect of gundelia tournefortii leaves (gte) hydro-alcoholic extract as a source of antioxidant on in vitro oocyte maturation. experimental: germinal vasicle (gv) were recovere...

background & aim: oocytes in vitro maturation is an enormously promising technology for the treatment of infertility, yet its clinical application remains limited owing to poor success rates. therefore this study was designed to determine the effect of gundelia tournefortii root hydro alcoholic extract as a source of antioxidant on in vitro oocyte maturation. experimental: in this study, th...
