In all Mediterranean-type ecosystems, evergreen and deciduous trees differing in wood anatomy, growth pattern and leaf habit coexist, suggesting distinct adaptative responses to environmental constraints. This study examined the effects of summer water stress on carbon (C) storage and growth in seedlings of three coexisting Mediterranean trees that differed in phenology and wood anatomy charact...

objective: there are few therapeutic options for treatment of multidrug resistant klebsiella pneumoniae isolates as a hospital infectious agent (nosocomial infection). the aim of this study was to evaluate the antibacterial activity of zataria multiflora boiss extracts against esbl-producing klebsiella pneumoniae strains. materials and methods: this study was conducted on 100 k. pneumoniae isola...

to investigate the effects of zataria multiflora boiss essential oil (zmb) on incidence of ascites syndrome and blood parameters of arian broiler chicks, an experiment with 500 one-day-old chicks were conducted. this experiment was based on completely randomized design with 5 treatments including 1) control (basal diet), 2) basal diet with 100 mg/kg probiotic, 3) basal diet with 150 mg/kg avila...

Background: Hydatidosis is a common disease of both humans and animals, resulting from infection with the larvae of Echinococcus granulosus tapeworm. The aim of this study was to investigate the antiparasitic (protoscolicidal) activities of three essential oils in vitro. Methods: This study was designed to evaluate the biochemical composition and in vitro antiparasitic effects of Zataria multi...

background: camellia sinensis and zataria multiflora as the potent antioxidants and anti-inflammations are crucial in the management of wound therapy. lipopolysaccharide (lps) was used for the proliferative potential on fibroblast cells and induction of inflammatory mediators. objective: we examined the effects of lps and herbal extracts combination in order to identify their mechanisms of acti...

conclusions herbal compounds, such as zm mixtures, are acceptably efficacious in cough relief with fewer adverse effects than chemical compounds in the treatment of cold-related cough, especially in infants and younger children. patients and methods a total of 52 pediatric patients (2 - 12 years old) with common colds were included in the study. the patients were randomly divided into two treat...

conclusions our findings did not support the use of zataria multiflora boiss in premenstrual syndrome. results thirty-eight students in intervention and 37 students in placebo group completed the study. the groups had no significant difference regarding the severity of pms. both groups showed a significant improvement in pms severity score after the intervention. the repeated-measure analysis o...

In this study, Penicillium digitatum, the causes of green mould disease of orange fruits, were isolated from infected fruit in Bam city. Antifungal activity of three different plant essential oils Eucalyptus camaldulensis, Zataria multiflora, Myrtus communis at 50, 100, 150 and 200 ppm concentration, have been evaluated. MIC (minimum inhibitory concentration) and growth inhibi...

OBJECTIVES The aim of the present study was to prepare, characterize, and evaluate solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs) containing Zataria multiflora essential oil (ZEO). MATERIALS AND METHODS In this study, Z. multiflora essential oil-loaded solid lipid nanoparticles (ZE-SLNs) were prepared to improve its efficiency in controlling some fungal pathogens. SLNs containing Z. multiflora essential oi...
