The chemical composition and minerals analysis of four different plant species viz., Hippophae rhamnoides, Azadirachta indica, Punica granatum and Ocimum sanctum leaves were studied. In the nutritional analysis the Punica granatum was found enriched source of ectin, crude fiber, sugar and vitamin C as compare with other targeted plant leaves. The fat contents was also found in valuable quantity...

Hippophae rhamnoides, also known as sea buckthorn is an ancient plant with modern virtues, due to its nutritional and medicinal value. Sea buckthorn is a spiny bush with long and narrow leaves, and orange-yellow berries. It is cold resistant, and native to Europe and Asia. All parts of Hippophae e.g. berries, leaves, and seed or pulp oils contain many bioactive compounds. They are a rich source...

BACKGROUND The morphological identification of different Hippophae species (Shaji) was difficult. This study aims to discriminate between medicinal and non-medicinal Hippophae species by DNA barcodes, the ITS2, psbA-trnH, and a combination of ITS2 and psbA-trnH (ITS2 + psbA-trnH). METHODS DNA was extracted from the dried fruit samples. Primer pairs ITS2F/3R for ITS2 and psbAF/trnHR for psbA-t...

Our aim was to explore in children with functional dyspepsia the effect of hippophae rhamnoides on the levels of plasma appetite factors and on their gastrointestinal motility. A hundred and twenty children with functional dyspepsia were randomly divided into three groups: Group I (treated with hippophae rhamnoides), Group II (treated with domperidone), and Group III (treated with hippophae rha...

Janus activated kinase/signal transducers and activators of transcription (JAK/STATs) pathway are associated with various neuronal functions including cell survival and inflammation. In the present study, it is hypothesized that protective action of aqueous extract of Hippophae rhamnoides in hippocampal neurons against hypoxia is mediated via JAK/STATs. Neuronal cells exposed to hypoxia (0.5% O...

Seabuckthorn (Hippophae rhamnoides L.) has been used to a limited extent in North America for conservation plantings and shelterbelts. Recently, the use of food and non-food products from seabuckthorn, with great potential markets, has been pursued. This multipurpose and valuable plant is currently being domesticated in various parts of the world including Canada. Seabuckthorn is easily propaga...

we investigated the response of sea buckthorn to drought in a nursery experiment that has been studied for the first time in the world for iranian sea buckthorn. biomass and physiological differences in response to drought were compared between four elaeagnus rhamnoides seedlings inhabited in qazvin province origin seeds of iran. the experimental design included four water regimes including 2, ...

The pattern of serotonin was evaluated in brain of immobilized stressed rat group and in stress plus ethanolic extract of Trema orientalis and Hippophae rhamnoides along with a group of normal control.

The antiulcerogenic effect of a hexane extract (HRe-1) from Hippophae rhamnoides (Eleagnaceae) was tested on indomethacin- and stress-induced ulcer models. As a result HRe-1 was found to be active in preventing gastric injury.
