Scientists studied the causes and treatment of PCOS, a common hormonal disorder in women. Understanding this can lead to improved management and potential breakthroughs in treatment.
Researchers are exploring natural products as alternatives to statins for managing hyperlipidemia and obesity. This could lead to safer and more effective treatment options for those suffering from obesity-related complications.
L. sativum seeds oil contains antioxidants that protect rats' ovaries from acrylamide damage, reducing levels of harmful compounds and improving reproductive health. This may offer a new treatment for female infertility.
Scientists studied water quality in Moknine, Tunisia due to heavy contamination from industrial and domestic sources. High levels of pollutants and toxicity were found, likely due to mercury, phthalates, and other chemicals, posing risks to ecosystems and human health.
Study investigates the use of medicinal plants in traditional medicine in Casablanca-Settat region for managing type 2 diabetes. Essential for addressing public health challenge in Morocco.
Scientists isolated and purified glucosinolates from hoary cress and myrosinase from garden cress. They found differences in hydrolysis rates and conversion to anticancer isothiocyanates. This research could lead to the development of dietary supplements with potential antimicrobial properties.
Solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNps) loaded with seed extract show potential as a therapeutic approach for Alzheimer's disease by increasing bioavailability and efficacy in preventing oxidative stress-induced neurodegeneration. LS-SLNps exhibit neuroprotective effects, boost cell proliferation, and stimulate nerve cell growth factor expression.
Researchers investigated the natural molecules in Garden Cress seeds that can reduce blood glucose levels. This could be significant in finding potential treatments for disorders related to high blood glucose.
This study found that a biologically active seed oil (LSO) improved testicular dysfunction in diabetic mice by increasing testosterone levels and reducing oxidative damage and inflammation. LSO may be a potential therapeutic option for male reproductive dysfunction in diabetes.
Hydrolyzing hemoglobin produces bioactive peptides with anticancer properties. Certain bovine hemoglobin peptides are more active than human peptides, suggesting potential for anticancer drug development using hemoglobin.
Scientists analyzed the essential oils (EOs) from eight plant species in Tunisia to determine their chemical composition. The EOs were found to have antifungal and herbicidal activities, making them potentially useful as biopesticides and bioherbicides in agriculture.
Whole-plant extract treated diabetic nephropathy in rats by reducing fasting glucose and cholesterol levels, attenuating kidney damage, and decreasing inflammatory markers. Promising therapy for diabetic nephropathy.
The study analyzed essential oils (EOs) from and found they have antioxidant, antifungal, and herbicidal properties. They could be useful for pest management and sustainable agriculture.
In this study, researchers tested the anticholinesterase effects of L. sativum and other plants. They specifically looked at the ability of two compounds, Lepidine B & E, to inhibit various enzymes involved in nervous system signaling. The researchers were able to determine the specific interactions between the compounds and the enzymes. These findings suggest potential therapeutic applications for the compounds in neurological disorders.
