The relationships between rooting potential with endogenous phenolic compounds, nitrogen and soluble carbohydrates of cuttings for five olive cultivars (‘Rowghani’, ‘Dusti’, ‘Tokhmekabki’, ‘Konservalia’ and ‘Amigdalolia’) were investigated. Extracts of the leaves and the base of the cuttings were used for analysis of biochemical compounds. Results showed that there were significant differences ...

In this study, it was aimed to compare the antioxidant properties of extracts obtained from extraction olive leaves in Hatay province prepared with different solvents. For purpose, were extracted using pure methyl alcohol soxhlet and also by maceration 60% ethanol, 70% methanol, 90% acetone (v/v) distilled water. Total Flavonoid Content (TFC), Phenolic (TPC), Ferric Antioxidant Reducing Power (...

The effects of extra virgin olive oil (EV-olive oil) on triglyceride metabolism were investigated by measuring the degree of thermogenesis in interscapular brown adipose tissue (IBAT) and the rates of noradrenaline and adrenaline secretions in rats, both in vivo and in situ. In Experiment 1 (in vivo), rats were given an isoenergetic high-fat diet (30% fat diet) containing corn oil, refined oliv...

Objective: This research is aimed to determine antibacterial activity of some solvents of raw propolis extracts of Trigona sp from Sulawesi, Indonesia and compare it with antibacterial activities of ethanolic and aqueous extracts. Methods: Propolis samples were extracted with water, ethanol, propylene glycol, olive oil, and Virgin Coconut Oil (VCO). An agar-well diffusion assay was used to eval...

Introduction: Renal Ischemia Reperfusion is considered to be one of the causes of acute renal failure (AKI). In addition, renal ischemia is an important incident usually occurs due to renal transplantion, repair of suprarenal aneurysm, hemorrhagic shock. A recent study reported that reactive oxygen species (ROS) are important mediators of AKI. It seems essential to use antioxidant to decrease t...

This work establishes a new procedure for the extraction and analysis of pentacyclic triterpenes, with which fruits and leaves from three Spanish olive cultivars ("Picual", "Hojiblanca", and "Arbequina") has been studied. The leaf contains important amounts of oleanolic acid (3.0-3.5% DW), followed by significant concentrations of maslinic acid and minor levels of ursolic acid, erythrodiol, and...
