OBJECTIVES The present study was carried out to establish the possible protective effects of administration of olive leaves extract on carbendazim induced physiological and histopathological alterations in male rats. MATERIALS AND METHODS The experimental rats were divided randomly into five groups and kept at ten rats per group. The first group was untreated and served as a control. The seco...

The present study aimed to investigate the possible protective effect of olive leaf extract (OLE) and pomegranate peel extract (PPE) against oxytetracycline (OTC)-induced hepatotoxicity in albino rats. The ethanolic extracts of olive leaf and pomegranate peel were screened for evaluating their free radical scavenging properties and total phenolic contents. They have a great antioxidant activity...

objective(s): chitosan nanoparticles (cnps) were prepared based on the ionic gelation of chitoan with anionic compounds of ocimum basilicum leaf extract. materials and methods: after addition of ocimum basilicum leaf extract to chitosan solution, the physicochemical properties of the nanoparticles were determined by field emission scanning electron microscope (fesem), fourier transform infrared...

Twenty three samples of 18 Portuguese olive leaf cultivars were analysed by a reversed-phase HPLC/DAD procedure and eight flavonoidic compounds were identified and quantified (luteolin 7,4'-O-diglucoside, luteolin 7-O-glucoside, rutin, apigenin 7-O-rutinoside, luteolin 4'-O-glucoside, luteolin, apigenin and diosmetin). Luteolin 7,4'-O-diglucoside and luteolin 4'-O-glucoside were identified by H...

background: it was shown that olive leave extract has antifungal, antibacterial and antiviral activities. the effects of ole on herpes simplex virus-1 (hsv-1) have not been systematically investigated yet. the aim of this study was to examine the in vitro effect of olive leaf hydroalcoholic extract (olhe) on hsv-1.   methods: virucidal effect and viral replication in vero cell line were studied...

The susceptibility of preimaginal and adult olive fruit fly, Bactrocera oleae (Gmelin) (Diptera: Tephritidae), to a strain of the mitosporic ascomycete Metarhizium brunneum (Petch) (Hypocreales: Clavicipitaceae) and the insecticidal activity of its crude extract to olive fruit fly adults were investigated. Strain EAMb 09/01-Su caused 60% mortality to B. oleae adults, with average survival time ...
