We evaluated the anti-inflammatory effect of tyrosol (Tyr) on endotoxin-induced uveitis (EIU) in rats. EIU was induced in male Lewis rats by subcutaneous injection of lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Tyr (10, 50 or 100 mg/kg) was intravenously injected 2 hr before, simultaneously and 2 hr after LPS injection. The aqueous humor (AqH) was collected 24 hr after LPS injection; the infiltrating cell number...

Girdling (a ring of bark approximately 5 mm wide) was applied on olive mother plants to investigate its effect the rooting ability cuttings. Treatment in autumn and spring. The cuttings were then immersed for s into 2000 mg L?1 indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) a 45% v/v ethanolic solution. Thirty days after girdling, taken from girdled control shoots part just above girdle zone (basal), as well righ...

Extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) is one of the main ingredients Mediterranean diet. It claimed as a functional food for its unique content health-promoting compounds. Tyrosol (Tyr), Hydroxytyrosol (Htyr), and their phenolic derivatives present in EVOO show beneficial properties, identification quantification, both free form after hydrolysis more complex precursors, are important to certify quality...

Veronica persica Poiret (Family: Scrophulariaceae), the `Common Field Speedwella or `Persian speedwella, is a neophytic weed originally from south-west Asia and widely distributed in the temperate regions (USDA-ARS GRIN database, 1999; Fischer, 1987; Holm et al., 1979). The plants were garden weeds and collected in #ower near Aberystwyth (Tyn-y-Graig, Wales), and a voucher specimen (N9623) of t...

Global warming is one of the most serious problems leading to changes in distribution areas species and biodiversity. Rhodiola quadrifida a rare plant with adaptogenic properties grows highlands narrow temperature range 2–15 °C. The aim our work was study growth content main metabolites two vitro cultures at temperatures 5, 15 25 Hairy roots calli were cultivated on agar medium for 28 days. max...

Olive pomace, an environmentally detrimental residue generated during olive oil extraction, contains bioactive compounds in demand by the food industry. To valorize this waste product a suitable yield for extraction process is required. Heat-assisted of from pomace was optimized circumscribed central composite design and response surface methodology. Our previous studies indicated that irradiat...

Phenolics, in addition to color, flavor, nutritional value, and organoleptic properties, are mainly responsible for the oxidative stability of olive oil change according degree maturity processes. In this study, it was aimed optimize malaxation process using response surface method terms yield bioactive constituents, including total phenolic content, ortho-diphenol, free radical scavenging acti...
