Technologie pěstování kotvičníku zemního (Tribulus terrestris L.) v polních podmínkách
PINKER, Milan
Today, a well-known and widely used medicinal plant in both traditional and contemporary medicine is tribulus terrestris L. It is proven that the use of products from this plant has a positive effect on the treatment of various diseases. The products are mainly used for their aphrodisiac effects. Growing tribulus terrestris is not particularly difficult, practically everyone can grow it in plant containers, a greenhouse or in the garden. We use the harvested stacks in the form of tea, tincture or extract. The practical part of the bachelor thesis is focused on the technology of cultivation in field conditions. Furthermore, the effects of individual technologies on the content of steroid saponins, especially diosgenin and protodioscin, in the harvested product are investigated. After evaluating all findings, the most suitable cultivation technology will be recommended.

Effect of Supplementation on Somatic Parameters
Kostikidou, Marianthi ; Kinkorová, Ivana (advisor) ; Heller, Jan (referee)
Author: Bc. Marianthi Kostikidou Title: Effect of supplementation on somatic parameters Objectives: The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of a 60-day long supplementation with Tribulus Terrestris on the body composition of healthy men. Methods: This diploma thesis is a double-blinded experiment. The theoretical part was mainly processed on the basis of information from electronic sources in English and Czech language. The subjects of this study were within the range of 18-35 years old and were randomly divided into an experimental (TT1) and a control (TT2) group. We examined changes in basic anthropometric parameters (height, weight, circumferences, skinfolds) and body composition estimated by bioelectrical impedance (BIA). The statistical analysis of the data was evaluated using ANOVA. The level of significance was set to 0.05. Results: In TT1 we observed significant changes in anthropometric parameters. Changes in body composition estimated by BIA were not of statistical significance. Statistically significant changes in TT2 were noted in both anthropometric measurements and BIA. Changes in both groups could be caused by various factors. Keywords: ergogens, nutritional supplements, tribulus terrestris, testosterone, caliperation, body composition, bioelectrical impedance

Vliv technologie pěstování kotvičníku zemního (Tribulus terrestris L.) na kvalitu produktu
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.

Growing technology earthy Tribulus terrestris (Tribulus terrestris L.) and its use
HUDSKÁ, Miluše
This bachelor thesis deals with Puncturevine (Tribulus terrestris) as for planting, content substances, pharmacological use and with influences of planting technology or elicitors upon the active substance contents. Saponines, flavonoids, and phytosterols are the main active substances of Puncturevine. The saponines act as aphrodisiacs, the flavonoids treat with heart diseases and the phytosterols decrease the cholesterol concentration in blood plasma. The active substance contents depend on the planting and elicitor influences. The practical part is focused on the matters of free soil growing and economy of planting the herb.
