This study aimed at investigating the possible mechanisms of hepatic protective activity of Cichorium intybus L. (chicory) in acute liver injury. Pathological observation, reactive oxygen species (ROS) detection and measurements of biochemical indexes on mouse models proved hepatic protective effect of Cichorium intybus L. Identification of active compounds in Cichorium intybus L. was executed ...

This study was conduction to find a suitable and cheap plant as a source for extracting vegetable protease enzymes and investigate the effect of these enzymes for producing whey protein hydrolysate. The extract prepared from the composite weed cichorium pumilum had a satisfactory protease activity, each ml of this extract prepared from 0.1 gm dried cichorium weed stems.An alkaline and acidic ci...

Synergistic activity of Salvia officinalis and Cichorium intybus extracts and commonly used antibiotics, amoxicillin and chloramphenicol, were evaluated. Interactions between plant extracts and antibiotics were tested by checkerboard method and interpreted as FIC index. Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923, Escherichia coli ATCC 25922, Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 27853 and clinical isolates Staphyl...

Although this plant has a rich history of use in folklore, many of its constituents have not been explored ...

Cichorium intybus and Portulaca oleracea plants native to the north Africa, especially in Egypt have been chosen for such study due their importance both as food medical treating several common diseases. The present analyzes chemical phytochemical constituentes of evaluates therapeutic roles on liver, kidney functions complete blood count H2O2 intoxicated rats. Six groups experimental anima...

BACKGROUND The present study was undertaken to analyze the phytochemical content and biological activity of Cichorium intybus seeds traditionally used in Charsadda, Pakistan against multidrug resistant (MDR) bacterial pathogens. OBJECTIVES This study explored the qualitative and quantitative antibacterial potential of C. intybus. Further qualitative analysis of phytochemical content was perfo...

The Cichorium plant is considered one of the medicinal plants that have been known since ancient times, as Egyptians used it 4000 years ago, they believed in its important role treating heart and liver diseases. scientific name Chicory (Cichorium intybus L.) a part Asteraceae family (the tribe Lactuceae)., so current study aims to know effect biologically active substances on biochemical change...

The biochemical, phytochemical and antioxidant composition of root, stem, leaves and seeds of Cichorium intybus L was determined. A statistically significant difference (p>0.05) was observed among different parts of Cichorium intybus regarding the biochemical, phytochemical and antioxidant composition. The leaves were found to possess comparatively higher values of total sugars non-reducing sug...

Plant catalases exhibit spatial and temporal distribution of their activity. Moreover, except from the typical monofunctional catalase, a bifunctional catalase-peroxidase has been reported. The aim of this study was to investigate whether the leaf and root catalases from six different plant species (Lactuca sativa, Cichorium endivia, Apium graveolens, Petroselinum crispum, Lycopersicon esculent...
