BACKGROUND Diabetes mellitus is one of the most common endocrinal disorders and medicinal plants continue to play an important role in the management of this disease. In this study, Rosa canina was investigated for the antioxidant and α-amylase inhibition activities. MATERIALS AND METHODS Methanolic extract of Rosa canina was investigated for its potential antioxidant activity. The extracts' ...

INTRODUCTION This study aimed to investigate the effects of Rosa canina L fruit extracts on histological damages, oxidative stress, and functional disturbances induced by bilateral renal ischemia and reperfusion. MATERIALS AND METHODS Ischemia and reperfusion were induced on the kidneys of anesthetized male Sprague-Dawley rats. The rats in the reperfusion and Rosa canina groups were administe...

The in vitro antiproliferative and antioxidant effects of different fractions of Rosa canina hips on human colon cancer cell lines (Caco-2) was studied. The compounds tested were total extract (fraction 1), vitamin C (fraction 2), neutral polyphenols (fraction 3) and acidic polyphenols (fraction 4). All the extracts showed high cytotoxicity after 72 h, both low and high concentrations. The flow...

AuNPs have been in the focal point of researchers’ attention for years because of high biocompatibility and adjustable surface plasmon resonance (SPR) [1]. In the recent years, many studies have been performed in producing AuNPs via green synthesis techniques, i.e. use of plants for producing AuNPs [2]. Green synthesis methods are eco-friendly and increase the biocompatibility of AuNPs [3]. A f...

Dog rose (Rosa canina) is one of the most important flower crops in the world and has a value in ornamental, pharmaceutical and cosmetic trade. Also it was used as a root stock for other cultivars of Rose. Hence this investigation was attempted with the aim to study direct regeneration of Rosa canina. The experimental data of the present investigation was analyzed statistically by using complet...

Enzymatic browning, which accompanies food preservation processes based on drying, is a common obstacle to obtaining marketable and consumer-appealing products. In this paper, we investigate the application of one of the methods commonly used in order to counter the browning process, namely dipping. Dipping involves a soaking of the foods in liquids or solutions in order to suppress the activit...

Our research was aimed at assessing the effect of accumulation carotenoids, polyphenols, vitamin C and ripening stage in rosehip fruits two species—Rosa canina, Rosa rugosa cultivar—Rosa ‘Rubra’ ‘Alba’. The amounts polyphenols were determined using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method. obtained results showed that significantly highest amount (107.15 mg 100 g−1) total carotenoid...

Fruits along with vegetables are major contributors to our daily vitamin requirements. Both, fruits and vegetables are very important for health because the nutrient contribution is dependent on the amount of vitamins present in these, as well as the amount consumed (1). Vitamin C or ascorbic acid (hereafter AA) is a water-soluble vitamin, which has an important role in all processes of oxidore...
