| In this study, the anxiolytic and hypnotic effects of saffron aqueous extract and its constituents, crocin and safranal, were studied in mice. |
|
| Both crocin and crocetin play a crucial role in the sexual processes of algae. |
|
| Crocin, a diester of crocin with gentobiose, is the single most important saffron pigment. |
|
| In order to study the cytotoxic effect of the characteristic compounds of saffron spice, we have isolated crocin, crocetin, picrocrocin and safranal. |
|
| Cells treated with crocin exhibited wide cytoplasmic vacuole-like areas, reduced cytoplasm, cell shrinkage and pyknotic nuclei, suggesting apoptosis induction. |
|
| Saffron is expensive because you can find its active ingredients, the antioxidant carotenoids crocin and crocetin, only in the three thread-like stigma inside each flower. |
|
| Therefore, it could be concluded that HLJDD exerted hypolipidemic effect by the inhibitory effect of baicalin, crocin and crocetin on the pancreatic lipase. |
|
| Crocin is a digentibiosyl ester of the polyene dicarboxylic acid crocetin. |
