This article mainly studied Humulus scandens’ ITS sequence, its system position and its divergent time. ITS is 624 bp with a GC percentage content of 57.21%. It only has the variation in 585 (C changes T), systematic position in Humulus lupulus (GenBank: EF136401) and Humulus scandens (GenBank: FJ980285), Humulus lupulus (GenBank: DQ005990), with Humulus scandens (GenBank: FJ980285), Humulus lu...

Nitric oxide (NO) plays an important role in many inflammatory responses and is also involved in carcinogenesis. In the present study, we investigated the inhibitory effect of extracts from Humulus lupulus L. on both the production of NO and the expression of inducible NO synthase (iNOS) in mouse macrophage RAW 264.7 cells. The production of NO was induced by a combination of lipopolysaccharide...

o objective: many biological studies have been done to determine the activity of medicinal plants on gastrointestinal function. since acetylcholine is the major transmitter involved in the gastrointestinal motility and there are some evidences regarding the cholinergic modulatory effect of hops extract, in the present study spasmolytic and antispasmodic action of hops(humulus lupulus) on acetyl...

this study was carried out to investigate the effects of humulus lupulus essential oils as an alternative to antibiotic and antioxidant on productive performance, lipids stability of meat and ileum microbial population in broiler chickens during days 1 to 42 of age. a total of 625 day-old arian broiler chicks were used in a completely randomized design with five treatments (200 and 400 mg/kg hu...

Several plant extracts were evaluated against obliquebanded leafroller larvae to determine potential toxicity and antifeedant effects. Two of the plant extracts exhibited contact toxicity; the LC50 value of Humulus lupulus extract against 3 rd instar larvae was 24.5 μg / insect. In a no choice context, larval survivorship was reduced 23 57 % after feeding on a meridic pinto bean diet treated wi...
