Molecules, Vol. 27, Pages 8254: Bioavailability Assessment of Yarrow Phenolic Compounds Using an In Vitro Digestion/Caco-2 Cell Model: Anti-Inflammatory Activity of Basolateral Fraction
In this study, a combined in vitro digestion/Caco-2 model was performed with the aim to determine the phenolic compounds bioavailability of two yarrow extracts. HPLC-PAD characterisation indicated that the main components in both extracts were 3,5-dicaffeoylquinic acid (DCQA) and luteolin-7-O-glucoside. Analyses after the simulated digestion process revealed that phenolic composition was not affected during the oral phase, whereas gastric and intestinal phases represented critical steps for some individual phenolics, especially intestinal step. The transition from gastric medium to intestinal environment caused an importan...

Molecules, Vol. 27, Pages 7908: Achillea millefolium Essential Oil Mitigates Peptic Ulcer in Rats through Nrf2/HO-1 Pathway
ed E. Mohamed Extreme ethanol ingestion is associated with developing gastric ulcers. Achillea millefolium (yarrow) is one of the most commonly used herbs with numerous proven pharmacological actions. The goal of the hereby investigation is to explore the gastroprotective action of yarrow essential oil against ethanol-induced gastric ulcers and to reveal the unexplored mechanisms. Rats were distributed into five groups (n = 6); the control group administered 10% Tween 20, orally, for two weeks; the ethanol group administered absolute ethanol (5 mL/kg) to prompt gastric ulcer on the last day of the experiment. Yarrow es...

Int J Syst Evol Microbiol. 2022 Nov;72(11). doi: 10.1099/ijsem.0.005565.ABSTRACTFive bacterial strains were isolated from symptomatic leaves of Achillea millefolium, Delphinium sp. and Hydrangea sp. in California. Colonies isolated on King's medium B (KMB) appeared white, mucoid and round, similar to Pseudomonas species. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA, rpoB, rpoD and gyrB genes placed the bacteria into three distinct groups within Pseudomonas that were most closely related to Pseudomonas viridiflava, Pseudomonas cichorii or Pseudomonas caspiana. To further characterize the strains, phenotypic analyses and the foll...

Molecules, Vol. 27, Pages 7335: Chemical Profiling and Biological Activity of Extracts from Nine Norwegian Medicinal and Aromatic Plants
s Rosnes There is an increased interest in identifying beneficial compounds of plant origin that can be added to animal diets to improve animal performance and have a health-promoting effect. In the present study, nine herb species of the Norwegian wild flora or which can be cultivated in Norway were selected for phytogenic evaluation (hops, maral root, mint, oregano, purslane, rosemary, roseroot, sweet wormwood, yarrow). Dried herbs were sequentially extracted with dichloromethane (DCM), ethanol (EtOH) and finally water (H2O) by ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE). The UAE protocol was found to be more rational than ...

The potential of traditionally used medicinal plants for the synthesis of selenium nanoparticles
Nat Prod Res. 2022 Aug 25:1-5. doi: 10.1080/14786419.2022.2116578. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTSelenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) have the potential to be used in many applications. In recent years green synthesis using plant extracts has gained popularity, due to the use of non-toxic solvents. In this work, the application of plantain (Plantago lanceolata L.), yarrow (Achilea millefolium L.) and nettle (Urtica dioica L.) in the synthesis of SeNPs is presented. The obtained nanoparticles were characterized in terms of size and antioxidant activity. A strong correlation between the dimensions of synthesized nanoparticles and ...

The developmental trajectories of racial and gender intergroup bias in 5- to 10-year-old children: The impact of general psychological tendencies, contextual factors, and individual propensities

Whereas several studies have shown that children show bias in the context of many kinds of groups, much less is known about how and when general psychological tendencies and contextual factors contribute to the manifestation of intergroup bias across development, and whether individual differences play a role. In the present study, we pursue these questions by investigating and comparing the developmental trajectories of intergroup bias...

Which group matters more: The relative strength of minimal vs. gender and race group memberships in children's intergroup thinking

Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTExperimentally created "minimal" social groups are frequently used as a means to investigate core components of intergroup cognition in children and adults. Yet, it is unclear how the effects of such arbitrary group memberships compare to those of salient real-world group memberships (gender and race) when they are directly pitted against each other in the same studies. Across three studies, we investigate these comparisons in 4-7-year-olds. Study 1 (N = 48) establishes the minimal group paradigm, finding that chil...

Neuroprotective effect of Achillea millefolium aqueous extract against oxidative stress and apoptosis induced by chronic morphine in rat hippocampal CA1 neurons
This study evaluates the neuroprotective effect of Achillea millefolium (Ach) on chronic morphine‑induced learning and memory impairment, oxidative stress, and neuronal apoptosis in the CA1 region of the rat hippocampus. Thirty‑two male Wistar rat rats were classified into four treatment groups (n=8). Morphine sulfate was administered chronically. The treatment groups were given Ach aqueous extract (100, 250, and 500 mg/kg), orally, each day. After 28 days, the Morris water maze test was performed on all subjects. Caspase‑3, Bax, and Bcl‑2 proteins expression in the CA1 region of hippocampal tissue was analyzed usi...
