Carnosic acid, a phenolic diterpene specific to the Lamiaceae family, is highly abundant in rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis). Despite numerous industrial and medicinal/pharmaceutical applications of its antioxidative features, this compound in planta and its antioxidant mechanism have received little attention, except a few studies of rosemary plants under natural conditions. In vitro analyses...

two hundred and twenty one-day male chicks (ross 308) were used in a completely randomized design with 5 treatments and four replicates each to investigate the effects of the different levels of 0.15, 0.3 and 0.6 percent rosemary extract along with nitrate (27.4 mg sodium nitrate/liter water) in drinking water on growth, some blood parameters and carcass characteristics of broiler chickens. no ...

Background and objectivesRosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis L.) extract is widely used in food, cosmetic pharmaceutical industries. This study centered on the optimization of ethanolic extraction rosemary leaves evaluated bioactivity extract.

• Sitz Baths — Fill your tub with about 6 inches of warm water and sit in the tub for 10 to 15 minutes at least 2 to 3 times each day. Th e warm water increases the fl ow of blood to the perineum, which helps the area heal. • Rosemary Tea — Make a tea with dried rosemary leaves by pouring very hot water over about 3 tablespoons of the leaves.

Many food components can influence satiety or energy intake. Combined together, these food components could represent an interesting dietary strategy in the prevention and treatment of obesity. The aims of this study were: 1) to determine the effect of a functional food in the form of a healthy meal course on subsequent energy intake and satiety; 2) to verify if it is possible to maintain palat...

dietary lysine had 35, 40 and 65 percent greater rate of gain, gain: feed ratio and gain: protein ratio, respectively, than those pigs fed the corn-soybean meal diet at 0.9 percent lysine and 17.9 percent crude protein. At 1.0 percent lysine (14.3 percent protein), the corn-whey-yeast diet produced 25, 35 and 59 percent greater average daily gain, feed efficiency and protein efficiency ratio ov...

In this study we investigated the short-term effects of calcium channel blockers and angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors on renal hemodynamics and the urinary excretion of proteins with different relative mass in subjects with mild to moderate essential hypertension and apparently normal glomerular filtration rate but reduced renal functional reserve. Sixteen subjects underwent the followi...

this experiment conducted to evaluate the effect of different methods of force molting on performance, egg quality of laying hens with one hundred eighty of 52-wk old hy-line layer in completely randomized design with six treatments, five replicates for 90 days. treatments include 1 - feed withdrawal (fw), 2 - 50 percent alfalfa meal: 50 percent layer ration, 3 - 75 percent alfalfa meal: 25 per...

Background Hydro-distillation (HD) method is a traditional technique which is used in most industrial companies. Microwave-assisted Hydro-distillation (MAHD) is an advanced HD technique utilizing a microwave oven in the extraction process. Methods In this research, MAHD of essential oils from the aerial parts (leaves) of rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis L.) was studied and the results were co...
