“…The mode of action of allicin varied depending on the species of parasite. Williams and Lamprecht [27] and Anthony et al [8] stated that some of actions on parasites were inhabit/blocking of receptor sites of cysteine proteinases, phosphatidylcholine biosynthesis, and the synthesis of coenzyme Q and cell lysis. Other parasitic modes of action were the interactions with thiol-containing enzymes, alcohol dehydrogenases, thioredoxin reductases, as well as the alteration of intracellular membranous structures.…”

A scanning electron microscopic study was undertaken to assess, for the first time, whether Allium sativum oil (ASO) extract had any effect on helminthes' body surface following 24 h incubation in vitro. Two species of gastrointestinal helminthes, of most economic significance in sheep, Haemonchus contortus and Moniezia expansa were collected from naturally infected sheep slaughtered in Cairo abattoir, then exposed to 10, 50, 100 µg/ml ASO. The body surface of these helminthes was observed to be affected and altered by ASO. These changes were concentration dependent, and consisted of destructive alterations and deformity in the cuticle of H. contortus and also in the tegumental architecture of M. expansa. The current study confirmed that an alternative, effective and natural anthelmintic could be developed using garlic.

The dried bulbs were pounded and then steam distilled. The essential oil was extracted using solvent ether.

“…However, valerian has been associated with both cytotoxicity (250) and hepatotoxicity (168) with only few cases have been reported (251). Additionally, valerian has the ability to interact with other drugs and herbs (169). The main constituents of valerian are valepotriates (iridoids) and volatile oil with some other alkaloids (252).…”

“…She recovered after discontinuation of herbal preparation (165). Moreover, valerian showed to have an interaction ability with other botanicals and can cause a sever injuries (169). Accordingly, a 43-year-old woman who ingested valerian with skullcap and black cohosh and some other herbal preparations developed hepatitis (14).…”

-Purpose. Herbal medicines have been increasingly used worldwide. However, the potential harms of these herbs have been noticed most recently following hepatotoxicity with ingestion of herbal remedies. The aim of this review is to evaluate the evidence of hepatotoxic effects linked to use of herbal preparations. Method. Electronic search was performed by searching several databases: PubMed, HerbMed, Google Scholar, Scopus, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews and Cochrane Library using both Latin and common names of several herbs. Language was restricted to English and articles were selected for relevance reporting incidence of hepatotoxicity associated with use of herbal products in human. Results. From a total of 565 relevant reviews and articles, 254 met our inclusion criteria and were analyzed.

“…In modern horses nutrition are very actual feed additives and detection of additives on metabolism and nutrients utilization (Gálik et al, 2011; Lacková, Šťastný, 2004. In recent Years, there were published some papers with possible using of phytogenics in horses nutrition, and the effect of phytogenics on horses performance Williams and Lamprecht (2008) published that plant extract are useful for horses mainly for their immune-protective effects. Some studies shows significantly effect for digestion, and by this point significantly effect on nutrients utilization and lower feeding costs (Fors, 2009).…”

The aim of the study was to determine the effect of a phytogenic additive on blood serum indicator levels and faecal nutrients digestibility. The experiment was realized in Riding Centre of the Department of Animal Husbandry, Faculty of Agrobiology and Food Resources, Slovak University of Agriculture in Nitra. Total 14 warmblood sport horses (geldings) were used (7 horses in control group, 7 horses in experimental group respectively); Slovak warmblood bred, average body weight 525 ±75 kg and 6.8 ±3 Years. The control group of horses were fed by crimped barley, meadow hay and mineral feed mixture. Feed rations in experimental group were supplemented with a phytogenic additive containing a blend of essential oils from origanum, anise and citrus, as well as a prebiotic rich in fructooligosaccharides. Blood serum was collected 3 times during the experiment, in the beginning of the experiment, and every 45 days. The experiment lasted 90 days. After the 45 days of phytoadditive supplementation we found a tendency of lower concentrations of serum triglycerides (0.07 vs. 0.23 mmol*l -1 ) and total cholesterol (2.18 vs. 2.27 mmol*l -1 ) in experimental group of horses (P>0.05). In serum concentrations of glucose, total proteins and urea we find similar values in all of groups. The same tendency we analyzed in activity of AST, ALT, and ALP enzymes (P>0.05). After the 90 days of the phytoadditive supplementation in feed rations of sport horses, we detected a tendency of lower serum triglycerides concentration in experimental group of horses and higher cholesterol, glucose, total protein and urea concentrations (P>0.05). We didn´t find a significant effect of a phytoadditive supplementation on blood serum indicator levels. Higher faecal digestibility coefficient of dry matter was found in experimental group of horses (62.98%) in comparison with control group (56.87%). In control group of horses we detected tendency of lower crude protein digestibility (71.36%) in comparison with phytogenic additive group feeding (72.86%). We analyzed a positive effect of phytogenic additive on organic matter digestibility of feed ration. In experimental group of horses we found significantly (P<0.05) higher organic matter faecal digestibility coefficient (73.31%) in comparison with control group (68.32%). We analyzed insignificant (P>0.05) effect of a phytoadditive on blood serum 1072Journal of Central European Agriculture, 2013, 14(3), p.1072-1080 DOI: 10.5513/JCEA01/14.3.1308 concentrations during 90 days of experiment. We found positive effect of phytoadditve supplementation on total faecal digestibility of organic nutrients.Keywords: additives, aromatic plants, blood serum, digestibility, equine Abstrakt Cieľom experiment bolo analyzovanie vplyvu fytogénneho aditíva na ukazovatele krvného sera a zdanlivú stráviteľnosť živín.
