Common Names: common flax
Chitosan nanoparticles loaded with flaxseed extract showed improved stability and bioavailability. In a study on female rats with PCOS, CHIT-FSE had the best results in controlling hormonal and biochemical markers. Supporting phytomolecules on chitosan can enhance their therapeutic effectiveness.
Carbendazim, a fungicide, was found to cause oxidative stress and histological disruptions in rats, with reproductive complications. Moringa oil and flaxseed oil showed potential in alleviating these effects.
This study evaluated the chemical composition and antioxidant potential of different linseed cultivars. Growing conditions and cultivar choice significantly influenced the composition and content of bioactive compounds, such as lignans. Understanding these factors can help maximize the nutritional and medicinal properties of linseed.
This study evaluated the antimicrobial activity of five herbs used to treat inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in Saudi Arabia. The herbs showed good activity against E. coli and S. aureus, suggesting their potential as natural remedies for IBD.
Researchers found that natural estrogen receptor inhibitors from Linum usitatissimum seeds may protect against polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). These inhibitors have shown anti-estrogenic activity, reducing estrogen levels to prevent cyst formation and offer PCOS protection.
Data mining, network pharmacology, and molecular docking analysis identified potential phytochemicals for ovarian cancer treatment. Apigenin, Vitamin E, Palmitic acid, Riboflavin, Isolariciresinol, and others were found to suppress tumor growth through biomarker influence. Pharmacokinetics and biosafety require further investigation.
Flaxseed oil can prevent cognitive and motor impairment in rats with hyperammonemia, offering a potential treatment for hepatic encephalopathy and protecting the brain from damage.
Priming with potassium nitrate and ascorbic acid improves linseed sprout growth, increases bioactive compound levels, and enhances antioxidant and antimicrobial activities. This study suggests priming as a way to enhance the nutritional value and health benefits of linseed sprouts.
This study analyzed the gene expression profiles of different organs in flax to understand growth patterns. They found specific gene expressions in each organ and identified AP2 transcription factors as important regulators. This information can help in improving flax crops.
Flaxseed can potentially reduce inflammation caused by endotoxins through its effects on the gut microbiota, independent of its content of alpha-linolenic acid. This study suggests flaxseed as a dietary supplement for mental health and neurological disorders.
This study investigated how flax plants respond to drought stress. It found that drought caused wilting, changes in physiological and biochemical characteristics, and variations in gene expression. Understanding these responses could help improve crop yield and quality in dry conditions.
DFU is a common and serious problem for diabetics. Treating it is difficult, particularly for people with weak immune systems.
This study shows that flaxseed, chia, and puncture vine can affect mare ovarian cell functions and their response to the contaminant toluene. Flaxseed and puncture vine can mitigate toluene's harmful effects.
Researchers investigated the effects of licorice root extract and oil on biochemical and hormonal factors in serum as well as uterine changes in rats. Findings could have implications for using phytoestrogens as alternatives to sex hormones.
