Currently diabetes mellitus (DM) is a worldwide problem linked to hyper-glyce¬mia and has affected people both in developing developed countries. DM divided into Type 1 (T1DM) 2 (T2DM). Moreover, the T2DM most prevalence form that encompasses reduce responsiveness insulin-sensitive cells or defects insulin secretion. Exposure chronic immobilization stress contributes development of hyperglycemi...

Numerous bioactive chemical compounds of plant origin may influence the angiogenic activity of various cell types and may thus affect the formation of blood vessels. Here we present the angiogenic effects of extracts of edible plants collected in Crete, Southern Italy and Southern Spain. Extracts have been applied to cultured human microvascular endothelial cells (HMEC-1), human umbilical vein ...

In this contribution, pressurized liquid extraction (PLE) has been employed to isolate bioactive compounds from three native Romanian plants, oregano (Origanum vulgare), tarragon (Artemisia dracunculus) and wild thyme (Thymus serpyllum). Different PLE conditions have been tested including extraction with water, ethanol and their mixtures in a wide range of extraction temperatures (50-200°C), an...

Natural antioxidants are receiving increasing attention in human and animal nutrition because of their association with food quality characteristics and immune responses [1,2]. Among a variety of plants bearing anti-oxidative constituents, the Labiatae family (mint plants) has been attracting the greatest interest [3], with particular attention to products from oregano (Origanum vulgare L.) and...

Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the hepatotoxicity as well as antioxidants activities of hydromethanolic extract of six common traditional species (Origanum vulgar, Pterocarya fraxinifolia, Ferula assafoetida, Artemisia dracunculus, Rosmarinus officinalis, and Valerian officinalis) in order to find a safe antioxidant source. Methods: This research project was perf...

The active parts of 11 medicinal plants were analyzed for physico-chemical evaluation, phytochemical determination and antioxidant activity. The physico-chemical evaluation revealed that highest water soluble extractive was from Origanum vulgare (38%), highest chloroform extractive was from Psoralea corylifolia (21%); highest ethanolic extractive was that of Acorus calamus (11%) and the highest...

Microbial colonization plays a relevant role in the biodegradation and biodeterioration of cultural natural heritage, representing revealing problem conservation strategy. In this study, essential oil (EO) hydro-alcoholic extract (HAE) Origanum vulgare L. (Lamiaceae), an aromatic perennial plant, representative Mediterranean basin, growing spontaneously cultivated all over world, were analysed....

In the present study, effects of Origanum onites L. extract and essential oil O. on antioxidant status liver brain mice were investigated. Due to certain disadvantages oils, such as poor solubility, high volatility sensitivity UV light heat, formulation liposomes with Oregano essentials (OE) was optimized used in this study. The results demonstrated that best composition lipid carriers OE condu...

BACKGROUND Origanum majorana L., belonging to the Lamiaceae family, has great potential and has been used as a folk medicine against asthma, indigestion, headache and rheumatism; in addition, the essential oils of this plant have been used widely in the food industry. Plant materials have been harvested from the Medicinal and Aromatic Plant Field of Gaziosmanpasa University. Air-dried plant mat...
