linum/atrophy

The embryo sac of Linum usitatissimum consists, as in most angiosperms, of the egg, two synergids, central cell and antipodals. In Linum the embryo sac is strongly polarized in the longitudinal axis, but rotationally random relative to the vascular bundles of the ovule and ovary. Synergids

BACKGROUND Flaxseed (Linum usitatissimum L.) is an important source of phenolic compounds, mainly lignans. Antioxidant capacities of flaxseed extracts that contain the compounds have been reported earlier. However, there is a lack of accessible information about their activity against lipid

BACKGROUND Current scenarios of global climate change predict a significant increase in ultraviolet B (UV-B) and tropospheric ozone (O₃) in the near future. Both UV-B and O₃ can have detrimental effects on the productivity and yield quality of important agricultural crops. The present study was

OBJECTIVE In this study, we aimed at evaluation of the efficacy of Hypericum perforatum and flaxseed on hot flash, vaginal atrophy and estrogen-dependent cancers in menopausal women. METHODS We searched MEDLINE, Scopus, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (RCT) to explore trials

Changes in the fine structure of flax (Linum usitatissimum) cotyledon leaf cells treated with the herbicide paraquat (1,1'-dimethyl-4,4'-bipyridylium ion.) were investigated. After 6 h treatment under constant illumination, tonoplast breakdown was evident. This was followed by a rapid and

BACKGROUND The colonization of Candida albicans on soft liners causes the deterioration of material surface properties and denture stomatitis. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this in vitro study was to investigate the effect of incorporating seed oil on the antifungal properties, surface roughness,
