The pond snail Lymnaea auricularia serves as an intermediate host for many digenian species. In West Azerbaijan province, northwestern Iran, the cercariae infection investigation was undertaken in L. auricularia from May to November 2010. Of 6759 collected Lymnaeid snails, 370(5.5%) L. auricularia snails were identified. Cercariae infection was found in a number of 276 (74.56 %) snails. The re...

The present study investigated the anti-inflammatory effects of dichloromethane extract of Auricularia auricula-judae. Dichloromethane extract of Auricularia auricula-judae inhibited Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) -induced nitric oxide (NO) production significantly in a dose-dependent manner in the concentration ≥10 μg/ml (p < 0.05) . Furthermore, RT-PCR results of this study indicated that the extra...

Introduction: Halvi is a traditional dairy product made from sheep milk in Mazandaran province, especially in the mountainous areas of Noor and Kojur. The fungus used in the preparation of Halvi is Auricularia auricula-judae. The present study aimed to investigate the chemical composition and microbiological properties of Halvi samples produced in various regions in No...

Lymnaea (Radix) auricularia rubiginosa (Michelin, 1831) was surveyed in 54 reservoirs of 18 districts in Amphoe Muang, Khon Kaen Province during February to May 1994. Lymnaeid snails were found in the water of 20 reservoirs, of which 16 reservoirs contained clear water and 4 turbid water. Two of the four turbid water reservoirs received drainage water from Khon Kaen Town. Two thousand four hund...

background: ionizing radiation induces the production of reactive oxygen species (ros), which play an important causative role in cell death. the aim of this study was to investigate the protective effects of sulfated derivatives of neutral polysaccharides extracted from auricularia auricular (snaap). materials and methods: whole blood samples from healthy donors treated with snaap at different...

The ability of several subtropical echinoderm larvae to absorb large, dissolved organic molecules was assessed by exposing them to FITC-BSA and Ferritin. We tested shallow water auricularia and pentacula from unknown species, plutei from the shallow water Tripneustes sp. and deep water Cidaris blakei blastula and gastrula. Once larvae had been exposed for several hours, FITC-BSA treated larvae ...

Some unusual specimens of the wood-inhabiting fungus Auricularia auricula-judae have been studied using morphological and molecular methods. As expected from external features, we describe a new species cerrina sp. nov. Sequencing ITS region confirms differences other Auricularia, preliminary phylogenetic analysis is presented. characterized by blackish fruitbodies in fresh conditions with comb...

In this research, two types of sulfated polysaccharide derivatives were successfully synthesized. Their antioxidant activities were investigated by employing various established in vitro systems. In addition, the degree of sulfation was evaluated using ion-chromatography and IR spectra. The results verify that, when employing scavenging superoxide radical tests, both the sulfation of acid Auric...
