| a new topical treatment of atopic dermatitis in pediatric patients based on ficus carica l. (fig): a randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial. | atopic dermatitis (ad) is a common, chronic, relapsing and inflammatory skin disease characterized by pruritus and xerosis (dry skin). its prevalence is on the increase worldwide, particularly in children. as the pathogenesis of ad involves a complex interaction of genetic, environmental and immunological factors, its definitive treatment is difficult. | 2017 | 29154073 |
| food strategies of renal atrophy based on avicenna and conventional medicine. | kidneys have an important role in the body. any damage to kidney role can damage many organs of the body. traditional persian medicine (tpm) or iranian traditional medicine (itm) is an ancient temperamental medicine with many literatures about kidney diseases and avicenna (980-1025 ad) describes kidney diseases in details. this is a review study by searching of the most important clinical and pharmaceutical tpm textbooks such as the canon of medicine by avicenna and scientific data banks using k ... | 2017 | 29034182 |
| synergistic hepatoprotective and antioxidant effect of artichoke, fig, blackberry herbal mixture on hepg2 cells and their metabolic profiling using nmr coupled with chemometrics. | the edible plants have long been reported to possess a lot of biological activities. herein, the hepatoprotective and the antioxidant activities of the aqueous infusion of the edible parts of cynara cardunculus, ficus carica, and morus nigra and their herbal mixture (cfm) was investigated in vitro using ccl4 induced damage in hepg2 cells. the highest amelioration was observed via the consumption of cfm at 1 mg/ml showing 47.00% and 37.09% decline in aspartate transaminase and alanine transaminas ... | 2017 | 28898531 |
| cultivar-specific transcriptome prediction and annotation in ficus carica l. | the availability of transcriptomic data sequence is a key step for functional genomics studies. recently, a repertoire of predicted genes of a japanese cultivar of fig (ficus carica l.) was released. because of the great phenotypic variability that can be found in this species, we decided to study another fig genotype, the italian cv. dottato, in order to perform comparative studies between the two cultivars and extend the pan genome of this species. we isolated, sequenced and assembled fig geno ... | 2017 | 28736702 |
| enhanced and green extraction polyphenols and furanocoumarins from fig (ficus carica l.) leaves using deep eutectic solvents. | nowadays, green extraction of bioactive compounds from medicinal plants has gained increasing attention. as green solvent, deep eutectic solvent (des) have been highly rated to replace toxic organic solvents in extraction process. in present study, to simultaneous extraction five main bioactive compounds from fig leaves, des was tailor-made. the tailor-made des composed of a 3:3:3 molar ratio of glycerol, xylitol and d-(-)-fructose showed enhanced extraction yields for five target compounds simu ... | 2017 | 28710995 |
| phenylpropanoid composition in fig (ficus carica l.) leaves. | the leaves of fig (ficus carica l.) have been used for traditional and chinese medicine. we determined the composition of phenylpropanoids (polyphenols and furanocoumarins) as a functional agent in the leaves of 37 cultivars of fig. the most abundant polyphenol was caffeoylmalic acid (12.0-26.6 mg/g dry weight), followed by rutin (4.7-14.6 mg/g dry weight) and isoschaftoside (2.5-6.4 mg/g dry weight). psoralen (3.8-23.0 mg/g dry weight) was dominant in the furanocoumarins. in molar amounts, psor ... | 2017 | 28589249 |

| volatile profile of greek dried white figs (ficus carica l.) and investigation of the role of β-damascenone in aroma formation in fig liquors. | during an investigation of the chemical profile of greek figs (ficus carica l.), several aqueous ethanol extracts (liquors) were prepared from dried smyrna fig varieties cultivated in the two major fig-producing geographical areas in greece: peloponnese and evia island. the distinctive aroma observed among the prepared fig liquors led to the investigation of the odor profile of the different fig cultivars through hs-spme coupled with gc/ms analysis, with focus on the factors that affect it befor ... | 2017 | 28474390 |
| effect of ficus carica leaf extract on the gene expression of selected factors in hacat cells. | ficus carica linn. (fc), common fig, has been traditionally used for many metabolic, cardiovasculary, respiratory, gastrointestinal, and skin disorders. several studies were performed showing its anti-inflammatory, anti-angiogenic, anticancerogenic, and tissue-protective effects. in all of those studies, the positive effects of fc were concluded as the result of its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory features due to the polyphenols it contains. | 2017 | 28432719 |
| characterization of free and conjugated phenolic compounds in fruits of selected wild plants. | a gas chromatography-mass spectrometric (gc-ms) method was utilized for the separation, and systematic characterization of phenolic compounds as trimethylsilyl derivatives in fruits of wild plants including olive, jujube and common fig. both the free and conjugate phenolic acids (rarely determined before and several are reported first time here) were characterized. a baseline separation of the 20 phenolics was achieved in 25 min with standard calibration curves linear over the concentration rang ... | 2016 | 26212944 |
| the stability of the symbiosis between dioecious figs and their pollinators: a study of ficus carica l. and blastophaga psenes l. | each ficus species depends on a specific mutualistic wasp for pollination. the wasp breeds on the fig, each larva destroying a female flower. it is, however, not known why the wasps have not evolved the ability to use all female flowers. in "dioecious" figs, the wasp can only breed in the female flowers of the "male" trees, so that pollination of a female tree is always lethal. the wasps should therefore be selected to avoid female trees. field data is presented showing that the fruiting phenolo ... | 1987 | 28564365 |
