Background: Damask roses (Rosa damascena Mill.) are mainly used for essential oil production. Previous studies have indicated that all production material in Bulgaria and Turkey consists of only one genotype. Nine polymorphic microsatellite markers were used to analyze the genetic diversity of 40 accessions of R. damascena collected across major and minor rose oil production areas in Iran. Resu...

BACKGROUND Dysmenorrhea is one of the most common types of cyclic pain that affects 50% of women and girls in their menstrual ages. Because of the side-effects and contraindications of chemical medicines, using herbs has been investigated in treating dysmenorrhea. OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to determine the effect of Rosa damascena extract on primary dysmenorrhea among the students ...

The neural retina is a critical component of the visual system, which provides the majority of sensory input in humans. Various retinal degenerative diseases can result in the permanent loss of retinal neurons, especially the light-sensing photoreceptors and the centrally projecting retinal ganglion cells (RGCs). The replenishment of lost RGCs and the repair of optic nerve damage are particular...

AuNPs have been in the focal point of researchers’ attention for years because of high biocompatibility and adjustable surface plasmon resonance (SPR) [1]. In the recent years, many studies have been performed in producing AuNPs via green synthesis techniques, i.e. use of plants for producing AuNPs [2]. Green synthesis methods are eco-friendly and increase the biocompatibility of AuNPs [3]. A f...

objective several investigations have demonstrated that rosa damascena has an inhibitory effect on the hypothalamus and on pituitary system reactivity in the rat; it has also been shown that the essential oil of rosa damascena has significant antiepileptic effects on pentylentetrazole (ptz) induced seizures in rats. we aimed at assessing the effects of the essential oil of rosa damascena when u...
