Epub 2018 May 10. PMID: 29746162 Abstract Title:  Antifungal activity of essential oils against azole-resistant and azole-susceptible vaginal Candida glabrata strains. Abstract:  Candida glabrata is an opportunistic pathogen, associated with endocarditis, meningitis, and disseminated disease, and also with complicated vaginitis. Essential oils derived from aromatic plants are known in traditional medicine as antimicrobial agents and have antifungal properties. The aim of this work was to evaluate whether 12 tested essential oils (tea tree, laurel, anise, basil, bergamot, lavender, mint, oregano, grapefruit, rosemary, winter savory, and ginger) could have a transverse effect on C. glabrata sensitive strains but above all on strains resistant to the three main azole antifungals used (clotrimazole, fluconazole, itraconazole). For this reason, different strains of C. glabrata, vaginal isolated, were characterized (disk diffusion assay, minimal inhibitory concentration) with respect to their response to such antifungals. Electron microscopy analyses were performed to examine cellular damages in depth. Subsequently, we wanted to evaluate the effect of the oils on human cells to estimate their potential cytotoxicity. Oregano and winter savory were the two most effective essential oils, inducing growth inhibition, cell damage of C. glabrata strains (both sensitive and resistant to azole antifungal drugs), and medium-high level of toxicity against human keratinocytes. The results of this work support the research for new alternatives or complementary therapies against vaginal candidiasis. <p><a href="https://greenmedinfo.com/article/antifungal-activity-essential-oils-against-azole-resistant-and-azole-susceptib" target="_blank">read more</a></p> https://greenmedinfo.com/article/antifungal-activity-essential-oils-against-azole-resistant-and-azole-susceptib#comments Anise Basil Bay Laurel Bergamot Candida Glabrata Candidiasis: Vulvovaginal Ginger Grapefruit Lavender Mint Oregano Rosemary Tea Tree Antifungal Agents Essential Oils In Vitro Study Mon, 22 Jul 2019 22:00:25 +0000 greenmedinfo 191713 at https://greenmedinfo.com Bay leaf incense improved scopolamine-induced amnesia. https://greenmedinfo.com/article/bay-leaf-incense-improved-scopolamine-induced-amnesia PMID:  Antioxidants (Basel). 2021 Feb 8 ;10(2). Epub 2021 Feb 8. PMID: 33567537 Abstract Title:  Bay Leaf (L.) Incense Improved Scopolamine-Induced Amnesic Rats by Restoring Cholinergic Dysfunction and Brain Antioxidant Status. Abstract:  Bay leaf (L.) has been shown to possesses various biological activities such as wound healing activity, antioxidant activity, antibacterial activity, antiviral activity, immunostimulant activity, anticholinergic activity, antifungal activity, insect repellant activity, anticonvulsant activity, antimutagenic activity, and analgesic and anti-inflammatory activity. The present study aimed to investigate whether the bay leaf incense (BL) elicits the memory formation via the action on the cholinergic system using a scopolamine (Sco)-induced rat model. Rats were exposed to BL over 5 min in a smoking chamber apparatus once daily for 22 days, whereas memory impairment was induced by Sco (0.7 mg/kg), a muscarinic receptor antagonist, delivered 30 min before each behavioral test. The phytochemical composition of BL was achieved by gas chromatograph-mass spectrometry (GCMS). Behavioral effects in rats were assessed by Y-maze, radial arm maze (RAM), and novel object recognition (NOR) paradigms. Additionally, the acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity and the oxidative stress markers in the rat hippocampus were also evaluated. Exposure to BL significantly ameliorated Sco-induced cognitive impairment and oxidative stress in the rat hippocampus. The obtained results suggested that BL-induced ameliorative cognitive effects are mediated by enhancement of the cholinergic system and antioxidant activities. <p><a href="https://greenmedinfo.com/article/bay-leaf-incense-improved-scopolamine-induced-amnesia" target="_blank">read more</a></p> https://greenmedinfo.com/article/bay-leaf-incense-improved-scopolamine-induced-amnesia#comments Amnesia: Drug-Induced Bay Laurel Antioxidants Aromatherapy Neuroprotective Agents Animal Study Sun, 21 Mar 2021 21:48:17 +0000 greenmedinfo 236673 at https://greenmedinfo.com Biomedical effects of Laurus nobilis L. leaf extract on vital organs in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats: Experimental research. https://greenmedinfo.com/article/biomedical-effects-laurus-nobilis-l-leaf-extract-vital-organs-streptozotocin-i PMID:  Ann Med Surg (Lond). 2021 Jan ;61:188-197.

Abstract:  Diabetes mellitus (DM) has been treated with herbs for centuries and many herbs reported to exert antidiabetic activity.is an aromatic herb belonging to thefamily, commonly known as bay. This study aimed to investigate the activity ofleave extracts on histopathological and biochemical changes inβ-cells of streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats. Thirty healthy adult male albino rats were included in the study and divided equally into 5 groups for 4 weeks as follow; control group (C), diabetic group (D), diabeticextract group (DLN),extract group (LN) and diabetic acarbose (DA) group. Histopathologically, D group rats exhibited various degenerative and necrotic changes in their liver, pancreas and kidney, whereas the DLN rats had nearly normal histology. Insulin immunostaining in the pancreatic beta cells was decreased in the D group compared to the C group, whereas the DLN group was similar to the C group.

Epub 2018 Nov 1. PMID: 30387132 Abstract Title:  Laurus nobilis leaf extract controls inflammation by suppressing NLRP3 inflammasome activation. Abstract:  Laurus nobilis Linn. (Lauraceae), commonly known as Bay, has been used as a traditional medicine in the Mediterranean and Europe to treat diverse immunological disorders. Although the effects of L. nobilis on immunosuppression have been reported, the detailed underlying mechanism remains unclear. In this study, to elucidate the anti-inflammatory mechanism of L. nobilis, we examined the effect of L. nobilis leaf extract on inflammasome activation in mouse bone marrow-derived macrophages. L. nobilis leaf extract inhibited NOD-like receptor pyrin domain-containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome activation, which was associated with caspase-1 activation, interleukin-1β secretion, and apoptosis-associated speck-like protein containing a CARD (ASC) pyroptosome complex formation. We also observed that 1,8-cineole, the major component of L. nobilis extract, consistently suppressed NLRP3 inflammasome activation. Furthermore, L. nobilis leaf extract attenuated the in vivo expression of proinflammatory cytokines in an acute lung injury mouse model. Our results provide the first evidence that L. nobilis leaf extract modulates inflammatory signaling by suppressing inflammasome activation. <p><a href="https://greenmedinfo.com/article/laurus-nobilis-leaf-extract-controls-inflammation-suppressing-nlrp3-inflammaso" target="_blank">read more</a></p> https://greenmedinfo.com/article/laurus-nobilis-leaf-extract-controls-inflammation-suppressing-nlrp3-inflammaso#comments Bay Laurel Inflammation Anti-Apoptotic Anti-Inflammatory Agents Interleukin-1 beta downregulation In Vitro Study Sat, 21 Sep 2019 19:15:11 +0000 greenmedinfo 196957 at https://greenmedinfo.com Suppression of Propionibacterium acnes-induced skin inflammation by Laurus nobilis extract and its major constituent eucalyptol. https://greenmedinfo.com/article/suppression-propionibacterium-acnes-induced-skin-inflammation-laurus-nobilis-e PMID:  Int J Mol Sci. 2019 Jul 17 ;20(14). Epub 2019 Jul 17. PMID: 31319552 Abstract Title:  Suppression of-Induced Skin Inflammation byExtract and Its Major Constituent Eucalyptol. Abstract:  Acne is an inflammatory skin disorder in puberty with symptoms including papules, folliculitis, and nodules.() is the main anaerobic bacteria that cause acne. It is known to proliferate within sebum-blocked skin hair follicles.activates monocytic cell immune responses to induce the expression of proinflammatory cytokines. Although the anti-inflammatory function of the() extract (LNE) on several immunological disorders have been reported, the effect of LNE in-mediated skin inflammation has not yet been explored. In the present study, we examined the ability of the LNE to modulate the-induced inflammatory signaling pathway, and evaluated its mechanism. LNE significantly suppressed the expression of-mediated proinflammatory cytokines, such as IL-1β, IL-6, and NLRP3. We also found that LNE inhibited the inflammatory transcription factor NF-κB in response to. In addition, eucalyptol, which is the main constituent of LNE, consistently inhibited-induced inflammatory signaling pathways. Moreover, LNE significantly ameliorated-induced inflammation in a mouse model of acne. We suggest for the first time that LNE hold therapeutic value for the improvement of-induced skin inflammation. <p><a href="https://greenmedinfo.com/article/suppression-propionibacterium-acnes-induced-skin-inflammation-laurus-nobilis-e" target="_blank">read more</a></p> https://greenmedinfo.com/article/suppression-propionibacterium-acnes-induced-skin-inflammation-laurus-nobilis-e#comments Acne Bay Laurel Anti-Inflammatory Agents Interleukin-1 beta downregulation Interleukin-6 Downregulation Animal Study Sat, 21 Sep 2019 19:10:08 +0000 greenmedinfo 196954 at https://greenmedinfo.com
