1. Effect of pumpkin seed oil on cholesterol fractions and systolic/diastolic blood pressure
Abstract Pumpkin seed oil (PSO) is high in unsaturated fatty acids and plant sterols, which have numerous cardiovascular benefits. The study explores the hypothesis by investigating effects of consumption of 1000 mg of PSO on total cholesterol (TC), low density lipoprotein (LDL), high density lipoprotein (HDL), systolic (SBP) and diastolic (DBP) blood pressu

3. Rhizobium rhizogenes-mediated transformation of Rhodiola rosea leaf explants
ABSTRACT Rhodiola rosea L. is an endangered medicinal plant distributed in mountains and in high latitude regions. For its conservation, sustainable methods for the obtaining of its bioactive compounds must be developed. This work hypothesized that leaf, stem and rhizome explants of R. rosea from different geographical origins respond differently to inoculat

9. The use of different indicators for interpreting the local knowledge loss on medical plants
ABSTRACT The increasing loss of local ecological knowledge may have negative impacts on the resilience of socio-ecological systems and may also negatively impact bioprospecting efforts, since local ecological knowledge is an important source of information for searching new drugs. Recent studies try to evaluate whether communities are experiencing loss of lo
