Essential oil components were extracted from Lavandula angustifolia (Lavender) flowers using pressurized fluid extraction (PFE). A Box-Behnken design was used to optimize the effective extraction variables. The chemical composition of extracted samples was analyzed by gas chromatograph-flame ionization detector column. For achieving maximum % extraction yield the temperature, pressure, and dyna...

Four in vitro experiments (Exp.) were conducted to evaluate lavender essential oil (LEO) effects at 0 (control), 250 (low dose), 500 (medium dose), 750 and 1000 µL per L (high doses) of incubation medium on rumen gas production kinetics (Exp.1), ruminal digestibility and fermentation (Exp.2), methane production (Exp.3) and rumen acidosis (Exp.4). The asymptote of gas production (A) increased qu...

BACKGROUND Busy care providers focus on the serious complications of postpartum period. This issue causes the seemingly trivial complications, such as mother's pains, fatigue, and psychological status, to be less taken into account. The study aimed to determine the effect of lavender oil aroma in the early hours of postpartum period on maternal pains, fatigue, and mood in primiparous mothers. ...

The metabolic cross-talk between the mevalonate (MVA) and the methylerythritol phosphate (MEP) pathways was analyzed in spike lavender (Lavandula latifolia Med) on the basis of 13CO₂-labelling experiments using wildtype and transgenic plants overexpressing the 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl CoA reductase (HMGR), the first and key enzyme of the MVA pathway. The plants were labelled in the presence o...

The natural products extracted from plants are part of traditional medicine and also therapeutic possibilities for treating many diseases. Recently, its use in the development new drugs has shown much visibility efficiency few adverse effects. Essential oils medicinal indicated to treat numerous diseases due their antimicrobial, antiviral, antimutagenic, anticancer, antioxidant, anti-inflammato...

Background and aims: common invasive angiography is a diagnostic test that is useful in the diagnosis of cardiovascular disease patients often experience anxiety and increase their vital signs before angiography. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of lavender essential oil on hemodynamic parameters in patients before angiography is inhaled. Methods: This study is a randomized clin...

Lavender essential oil (LO) is a traditional medicine used for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease (AD). It was extracted from Lavandula angustifolia Mill. This study was designed to investigate the effects of lavender essential oil (LO) and its active component, linalool (LI), against cognitive impairment induced by D-galactose (D-gal) and AlCl3 in mice and to explore the related mechanisms. ...

Essential oils are volatile compounds, extracted from plants, which have a strong odor. These compounds are known for their antibacterial and antifungal properties. However, data concerning degradation of mycotoxins by these metabolites are very limited. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of essential oils (cedarwood, cinnamon leaf, cinnamon bark, white grapefruit, pink ...
