Background: Diabetes mellitus type 2 with dyslipidemia is a common disease. Previous studies suggest that chemical constituent present in pinus eldarica (P. eldarica) nut posesess antioxidant properties and positively affect glucose metabolism. However blood glucose and cholesterol lowering effects of P. eldarica nut have not been studied so far. Objective: The present study was undertaken to e...

Bark extract of Pinus pinaster contains numerous phenolic compounds such as catechins, taxifolin, and phenolic acids. These compounds have received considerable attentions because of their anti-inflammatory, antimutagenic, anticarcinogenic, antimetastatic and high antioxidant activities. Although P. pinaster bark has been intensely investigated in the past; there is comparably less information ...

BACKGROUND Pinus eldarica is a widely growing pine in Iran consisting of biologically active constituents with antioxidant properties. This study investigates the effect of hydroalcoholic extract of P. eldarica bark against oxidative damage induced by hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). METHODS The total phenolic content of P. eldarica extract was dete...

OBJECTIVE Insomnia is accompanied by several health complications and the currently used soporific drugs can induce several side effects such as psychomotor impairment, amnesia, and tolerance. The present study was planned to investigate the sleep prolonging effect of Pinus eldarica. MATERIALS AND METHODS Hydroalcoholic extract (HAE) of P. eldarica, its water fraction (WF), ethyl acetate frac...

Purpose: To evaluate the antiurolithiatic activity of Pinus eldarica fruit on induced calcium oxalate nephrolithiasis in rats. Materials and Methods: Calcium oxalate nephrolithiasis in rats was induced by administering ethylene glycol 1% for 30 days via drinking water. The prophylactic and therapeutic groups received P. eldarica fruit extract (500 and 1000 mg/kg/day) as well for 30 days and fro...

this research was carried out in order to quantify throughfall (tf) and interception loss (i) and to compare the chemical composition of tf, i.e. lead (pb) and cadmium (cd) as well as electrical conductivity (ec) and ph beneath pinus eldarica and cupressus arizonica plantations and the open field rainfall. the research was accomplished in the chitgar forest park, a semi-arid polluted urban area...

objective: pinus eldarica (p. eldarica) is one of the most common pines in iran which has various bioactive constituents and different uses in traditional medicine. since there is no documented evidence for p. eldarica safety, the acute and sub-acute oral toxicities of hydroalcoholic extract of p. eldarica bark were investigated in male and female wistar rats in this study. materials and method...
