“…The total number of helminths in the abomasum of lambs grazed on chicory was reported to be remarkably reduced in the study conducted by Marley and coworkers, (2003) [ 73 ]. Chicory also contains a low quantity of condensed tannins [ 32 , 74 – 76 ] and sesquiterpene lactones [ 77 ] which may affect protein utilization efficiency in ruminants and can as well reduce intestinal parasites in animals. It is also noted that sesquiterpene lactones in chicory extract inhibited the hatching of sheep's Haemonchus contortus eggs [ 78 ].…”

Chicory is a perennial plant grown in different parts of the world, used as forage for livestock, as folklore remedies, or as a vegetable addition in human diets. There are several varieties of the chicory plant, known differently globally due to its numerous medicinal, culinary, and nutritional qualities. Most parts of the plant contain a potpourri of nutrients ranging within carbohydrates, proteins, vitamins, minerals, soluble fiber, trace elements, and bioactive phenolic compounds, which are responsible for the various nutritive, prophylactic, and therapeutic qualities of chicory. Inulin, coumarins, tannins, monomeric flavonoids, and sesquiterpene lactones are some of the major phytocompounds mostly found in chicory plants. The health-promoting activities attributed to chicory comprise, among others, anti-inflammatory, anticarcinogenic, antiviral, antibacterial, antimutagenic, antifungal, anthelmintic, immune-stimulating, and antihepatotoxic and its antioxidative qualities. As a versatile plant, chicory's chemical composition and use as a suitable livestock feed supplement or as an alternative feed ingredient (AFI) are thus reviewed.

“…(Judžentienė & Būdienė, 2008). Numerous studies on Cichiroum intybus plant indicated that it possesses antimalarial, antiinflammatory, antimicrobial, antihelmintic, analgesic activity, antiallergic activity, antioxidant, tumor-inhibiting activity, gastro and hepatoprotective effects besides its positive influence in diabetes (Ahmed et al, 2003;Huseiniet al, 2005;Nandagopal & Kumari, 2007;Miller et al, 2011;Gürbüz et al, 2002;Cavin et al, 2005;Wesołowska et al, 2006;Heimler et al, 2009;Conforti et al, 2008;Kim et al, 1999;Pushparaj et al, 2007). The antidiabetic effect of the aqueous seed extract of Cichiroum intybus has also been investigated in early-stage diabetic rats, chicory treatment led to the increase in insulin levels pointing toward the insulinsensitizing action of chicory (Ghamarian et al, 2012).…”

The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of Cichorium intybus on lipid peroxidation activities of both enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidants, inflammatory mediators, myocardial enzymes and histopathology of cardiac tissues in experimental diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM). DCM was induced by single intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin (STZ) (40 mg/kg) combined with high energy intake in rats. Seed extract of Cichorium intybus (CIE) (250 mg/kg & 500 mg/kg) was administered orally once a day for 3 weeks. Phytochemical investigations of seed extract revealed presence of some active ingredients such as alkaloids, tannins, saponin, phenols, glycosides, steroids, terpenoids and flavonoids. Seed extract of Cichorium intybus confirmed a significant potency towards restoring the blood glucose, an elevation of the levels of aspartate aminotransferase (AST), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), superoxide dismutase (SOD), thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), blood glutathione (GSH), TNF-α and IL-6 and a reduction in the levels of catalase (CAT) was observed following the STZ treatment. Oxidative stress was accompanied by myocardial degeneration as evidenced by histopathological examination of cardiac tissues. Administration of CIE reduced the lipid peroxides level in heart. Serum levels of AST, GSH, LDH and SOD were brought down to physiological levels by CIE in STZ induced DCM rats. CIE also markedly down-regulated serum TNF-α and IL-6 levels. Catalase that was reduced in serum was brought back to near normal level. The extensive necrotic changes of cardiac tissue by STZ was minimized to normal morphology upon CIE administration. The study demonstrates the cardioprotective effect of CIE via inhibition of oxidative stress and pro-inflammatory cytokines.

“…Cichorium intybus is well known in the folk and modern medicine for its anticancer [ 13 ], antioxidant [ 14 ], antidiabetic [ 15 ], anti-inflammatory [ 16 ], antimicrobial [ 17 ], anthelmintic [ 18 ], analgesic [ 19 ], cardiovascular [ 20 ], gastroprotective [ 21 ], hepatoprotective [ 22 ], immunological [ 23 ], reproductive effects [ 24 ], wound healing abilities [ 25 ], and many other pharmacological applications [ 17 , 26 ]. It is also important to mention the numerous active substances of this species: alkaloids, coumarins, caffeic acid derivatives, sesquiterpene lactones, flavonoids, terpenoids, and volatile compounds [ 26 ].…”

The principal aim of this paper is to show the influence of soil characteristics on the quantitative variability of secondary metabolites. Analysis of phenolic content, flavonoid concentrations, and the antioxidant activity was performed using the ethanol and ethyl acetate plant extracts of the species Cichorium intybus L. (Asteraceae). The samples were collected from one saline habitat and two non-saline habitats. The values of phenolic content from the samples taken from the saline habitat ranged from 119.83 to 120.83 mg GA/g and from non-saline habitats from 92.44 to 115.10 mg GA/g. The amount of flavonoids in the samples from the saline locality varied between 144.36 and 317.62 mg Ru/g and from non-saline localities between 86.03 and 273.07 mg Ru/g. The IC50 values of antioxidant activity in the samples from the saline habitat ranged from 87.64 to 117.73 μg/mL and from 101.44 to 125.76 μg/mL in the samples from non-saline habitats. The results confirmed that soil types represent a significant influence on the quantitative content of secondary metabolites. The greatest concentrations of phenols and flavonoids and the highest level of antioxidant activity were found in the samples from saline soil. This further corroborates the importance of saline soil as an ecological factor, as it is proven to give rise to increased biosynthesis of secondary metabolites and related antioxidant activity.
