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: Huntington's disease is a neurodegenerative disorder in which an increase in the global oxidative stress and a decrease in the antioxidant defense system are observed. Olea europaea's main phenolic components include oleuropein, dimethyl oleuropein, ligstroside and phenolic oleosides, which can be more than 140 mg per gram of fresh olives and 60-90 mg per gram of dried olive le...

olea europaea l. commonly known as olive has been traditionally used for the prevention and treatment of many diseases since ancient times. olive has been reported to possess a broad spectrum of pharmacological properties. in the present study we investigated the activity of aqueous extract of olea europaea l. fruit at various concentrations on a2780, a172 and hfff2 cell lines proliferation by ...

Olive leaf extract is characterized by a high content of polyphenols (oleuropein, hydroxytyrosol and their derivatives), which is associated with its therapeutic properties. The objective of the present research was to evaluate the antifungal activity of olive leaf extract against Candida albicans ATCC 10231 and C. dubliniensis CBS 7987 strains. Minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) of the ex...

Methods C56BL/6 mice were sensitized by intranasal administration of olive extract+cholera toxin B, for 6 weeks. Then, mice received immunotherapy (IT) treatment by subcutaneous (sc) injection of dendrimer-Ole1±50 mg of CpG, for 8 weeks. Seven days after the IT, mice were challenged with 100 mg of olive extract (ip). Severity of anaphylaxis was measured by drop in body temperature and the humor...

background & aim: oleuropein has pharmacologic properties and is the main component of olive leaves which is considered to be the most pharmacologic compounds of olive (olea europaea l.). the aim of this work was to investigate the possible using of the extract of this plant in food industry (sponge cake) in order to take advantage of its medicinal properties.experimental: ethanolic extract...

the antioxidant properties and total phenols’ content of 80% methanol, acetone and water extracts of olive leaves procured through microwave assisted extraction (mae) were examined. two varieties of olive namely: cronaiky and roghani were the ones studied. various experimental models were employed for antioxidant activity evaluation of the extracts. the results revealed the highest phenolic con...

BACKGROUND The purposes of this study were: to determine the prevalence of sensitization and immunochemical characterization of Eleagnus angustifolia pollen (Russian olive) that belongs to the family Eleagnaceae. METHODS A total of 134 patients with rhinoconjunctivitis and/or asthma were studied. Its allergenicity, cross-reactivity with olive pollen and the presence of Ole e 1 and Ole e 4-lik...
