NEUMANN, Jaroslav
This diploma thesis focuses on the Tribulus terrestris and its cultivation in order to achieve the highest content of biologically active substances. Tribulus has its roots in Chinese traditional medicine and Indian Ayurveda. The monitored substances are protodioscin and diosgenin. These two substances are saponins which are known for many beneficial effects on human health. For example, protodioscin is widely used as a remedy for conception problems. Diosgenin has its use in the fight against cancer. Both of these substances are also used in fitness to increase muscle mass and strength. The most famous is protodioscin, which became famous thanks to the Bulgarian weightlifters. However, the mechanisms of action of protodioscin and, in fact, diosgenin in the human body are not completely known in terms of influencing hormones in our body. In the practical part of this work, acetylsalicylic acid and the commercial preparation NanoFyt Si? are used as an elicitor. Water control was used for control, which was carried out in the same way as elicitor sprays. It is statistically summarized in what concentration the elicitors act or do not act. Based on statistical results, the cultivation procedure is recommended.

NEUMANN, Jaroslav
This bachelor thesis is about a plant named Puncturevine (Tribulus terrestris), its substances, which are contained and about its possible usage in medicine. Another chapters describes some substances which we can find in a whole plant. The most important substances are saponins, phytosterols and flavonoids. Saponins are most popular for their aphrodisiatic effects, flavonoids for fighting illnes and phytosterols for decreasing cholesterol in blood plasma. Quantity of these substances is highly dependent on the area where, or how the plant is grown and if elicitors were used. In the practical part I found out if tribulus is known amongst people and how to grow it in greenhouse.
