The Karafs is a dried herb of whole plant of Apium graveolens L. from Apiaceae (carrot family). The seeds (fruits) of Apium graveolens are known as Tukhm-e- Karafs in Unani Medicine. Karafs is known as Celeri in French, Apio in Spanish, Selderiji in Dutch, Syelderey in Russian and Chin in Chinese. It is cultivated in different parts of the world for its seeds as spice and green leaves and root as salad crop. Its seeds are also used for medicinal purposes in complementary and alternative medicines. In Unani it is used as a single drug or as an ingredient in compound formulations used for management in various ailments. The seeds have various pharmacological actions like hepatoprotective, diuretic and lithotriptic etc. It is commonly found in Western Asia, Europe, North Africa and various parts of India like Punjab, Uttar Pradesh and Himachal Pradesh etc. In Unani its actions are described as Mudirr-i-Bawl (Diuretic), Mufattit-i-Hasāh (Lithotriptic), Dafi'-i-Tashannuj (Antispasmodic) and Kāsir-i-Riyāh (Carminative). It is used for the treatment of Hasah al-Kulya (Nephrolithiasis), Nafkh al-Mi'da (Flatulence), Istisqā' (Oedema) and Ihtibās al-Bawl (Retention of urine) etc.

Apium graveolens Linn. (Apiaceae) is an indigenous plant of the North and South Americas, Southern Europe, and Asia and has been widely used as a food or a traditional medicine for treatment of inflammation and arthritis. The purpose of this study was to investigate the antioxidant effects of a methanolic extract of A. graveolens (AGE) against liver oxidative stress in an adjuvant-induced arthritic rat model. The AGE (250, 500, and 1,000 mg/kg) was given orally for 24 consecutive days after induction by injecting complete Freund's adjuvant. Liver and spleen weights were recorded. The superoxide anion level, total peroxide (TP), glutathione peroxidase (GPx) activity, superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity, total antioxidant status, and oxidative stress index (OSI) were also measured. AGE treatment significantly decreased the levels of the superoxide anion, TP, and OSI whereas the GPx and SOD activities significantly increased in the liver of the arthritic rats. These results indicated that AGE showed an ameliorative effect against liver oxidative stress in adjuvant-induced arthritic rats by reducing the generation of liver free radicals and increasing the liver antioxidant enzyme activity.

쎌러리(Apium graveolens L.)의 체세포배 발생 및 인공종자 발아에 있어서 분자수준의 기작을 이해하기 위하여 ABA 및 저온처리에 의한 단백질합성변화에 관한 연구를 수행하였다. 단백질함량과 질산환원효소 활성도는 ABA 및 저온처리한 체세포배 및 유식물은 처리하지 아니한 것에 비하여 특히 유식물에서보다 체세포배 발생시에 더욱 높았다. 2차원 전기영동결과 ABA 및 저온처리에 의하여 심장 형배 시기에서는 30 KD, 32 KD, 171 KD 및 205 KD의 단백질과 자엽시기배에서는 29 KD, 33 KD, 37 KD, 38 KD, 41 KD, 55 KD, 66 KD, 및 110 KD 단백질이 합성되어졌다. 또한 심장형배에서는 42 KD, 44 KD, 59 KD, 64 KD, 101 KD, 104 KD, 및 190 KD의 단백질과 자엽시기에서는 29 KD 및 116 KD의 단백질이 억제되었다. 체세포배 발생 및 인공종자 발아에 있어서 ABA및 저온처리에 의해서 단백질이 합성되어지거나 억제되는 것이 동시에 일어났으며 주로 산성단백질에서 변화가 일어났다. 이와같은 결과는 체세포배 발생과정에서 그리고 체세포배 발아와 유식물의 생장과정에서 환경변화에 적응하기 위한 대사상의 변화가 일어나는 것으로 추정된다.

This study was investigated to find out the optimum planting densities of Aptum graveolns L. about growth characters, yield components and yi-eld at 9 planting densities by transplanting cultureThe results obtained are summarized as follows ;1 . Studying the correlationship, the highly negative significances we-re found between planting densities and petiole weight , planting d-ensities and plant weight , respectively .2. Plant hight was longest in spacious planting, and was short in dense3 . Petiole yield was thinkest in planting densities(50$\times$35n), and wasthin in planting densities(40$\times$25n) .4. Yield of Petiole was increased in PLanting densities(50$\times$25cn) ,quality and yield of petiole were highest by optimum plantting densi-ties (50$\times$35cn ) .
