Ethanolic and aqueous extracts from five plant species used in Turkish traditional medicine were evaluated for in vivo hypercholesterolaemic and antioxidant activities: Agrostemma githago L., Potentilla reptans L., Thymbra spicata var. spicata L., Urtica dioica L. and Viscum album var. album L. We assayed the effects of the administration of plant extracts on serum total cholesterol, triglyceri...

In an inbred population, selection may reduce the frequency of deleterious recessive alleles through a process known as purging. Empirical studies suggest, however, that the efficacy of purging in natural populations is highly variable. This variation may be due, in part, to variation in the expression of inbreeding depression available for selection to act on. This experiment investigates the ...

The major fraction of seed storage proteins of Agrostemma githago (corn-cockle), a non-leguminous dicot, occurs as material with S20,w values of approximately 11S and approximately 2S, and a minor fraction as oligomers with S20,w values of approximately 6.5S. The 11S proteins are of the legumin type and consist of disulphide-linked alpha- and beta-subunits of Mr approximately 39 000 and approxi...

objective(s):the objective of this study was to determine the cytotoxic effects of nanoliposomal form of lyophilized aqueous extract of agrostemma githago (a. githago) seeds on gastric cancer cell line (ags) using cell viability tests. materials and methods: lyophilized aqueous extract of a. githago seeds was prepared. liposomes were also prepared by thin-film hydration method and their stabili...
