Based on Ayurvedic therapeutic principles, CP patients were subjected to Abhyanga (massage) with Moorchita Tila Taila (processed sesame

BACKGROUND The impact of fungal infections on human health has increased considerably within a past few decades. Although drugs with antifungal properties are available, but they are less effective and are associated with side effects. OBJECTIVE To screen the bacterial isolates from Sesamum indicum

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a proinflammatory/oxidative state resulting in metabolic dysregulation and ovarian dysfunction. Isoflavones in soybean seed possess anti-inflammatory/antioxidant properties. So, in this study, the effects of soybean isoflavone-aglycones on tissue inflammation,

Development of new and safer pesticides that are target-specific is backed by a strong Federal, public and commercial mandate. In order to generate a new generation of pesticides that are more ecologically friendly and safe, natural products are being evaluated for pesticidal activities. Many

BACKGROUND The chemotherapeutic drug oxaliplatin causes sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (SOS), which is analogous to that of monocrotaline-induced SOS. Sesame oil is a nutrient-rich antioxidant in alternative medicine. It contains phenol, sesamin, sesamol, and sesamolin, all of which contribute to

BACKGROUND Iron intoxication causes acute nephrotoxicity in animals and humans. Sesame oil, a healthful food, increases resistance to lipid peroxidation and protects against multiple organ injury in various animal models. The authors examined the prophylactic and therapeutic effects of a

Basil downy mildew (BDM), caused by the fungus-like oomycete pathogen Peronospora belbahrii, has become a destructive disease of sweet basil (Ocimum basilicum). Without proper management, BDM can cause complete crop loss. Currently, there are no commercially available sweet basil cultivars with

A large number of carboximides have been synthesized, tested and, in some cases, marketed as agricultural fungicidal agents. One carboximide fungicide N-(3,5-dichlorophenyl)succinimide (NDPS) proved to be both highly efficacious as a fungicide and a nephrotoxin. The purpose of this study was to

Sesame oil has been used in traditional Taiwanese medicine to relieve the inflammatory pain in people with joint inflammation, toothache, scrapes, and cuts. However, scientific evidence related to the effectiveness or action mechanism of sesame oil on relief of pain and inflammation has not been

Zinc is an effective factor in the reproductive system. Insulin resistance (IR) is known as an important disorder in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), which controls key cell activities, in particular, is

BACKGROUND Many Crotalaria plant species contain hepatotoxic pyrrolizidine alkaloids (such as monocrotaline) that can cause acute and chronic poisoning in cattle and other animals. OBJECTIVE Peanut oil, atropine sulfate, and antidiarrheal agents are used to treat acute monocrotaline poisoning. The

BACKGROUND The optimal treatment of partial adhesive small bowel obstruction (SBO) is still controversial. The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of oral administration of sesame oil to the standard of conservative treatment in this disease. METHODS Sixty-four cases of partial

Diabetes is a risk factor that increases the occurrence and severity of cardiovascular events. Cardiovascular complications are the leading cause of mortality of 75% of patients with diabetes >40 years old. Sesamin, the bioactive compound extracted from Sesamum indicum, is a natural compound that

Albendazole has in vitro activity against Cryptococcus neoformans and reduced in vitro activity for albendazole when compared with Candida albicans. The major metabolite of albendazole, albendazole sulphoxide showed no in vitro activity against isolates of either fungus. Immunocompetent mice

An oral formulation of delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) in sesame oil (Marinol) is at present used for the management of chemotherapy-related nausea and emesis. However, due partly to poor bioavailability, its efficacy is variable. To circumvent possible metabolism in the gut and a first-pass
