We examined possible protective effect of Satureja khozestanica essential oil (SKE) on glomerulosclerosis in alloxan-induced type 1 diabetic rats. Materi...

An experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of thyme (Thymus vulgaris) and satureja (Satureja khuzestanica) ethanolic extracts on the performance, blood metabolites and immune response of broiler chickens. 300 day-old Ross chicks were assigned to six dietary treatments in a randomized 2 × 3 factorial block design. Each treatment was given to five replicates of ten birds. Variables we...

Background: Type 2 diabetes is one of the main causes death and its treatment clinical priorities. This study aimed to evaluate effect Satureja khuzistanica essential oil (SKEO) carvacrol on lipid peroxidation index (MDA), plasma total antioxidant capacity (TAC), also activity enzymes. Materials Methods: The was experimental in nature. Diabetes induced male Wistar rats by intraperitoneal inject...

results the chemical analysis of s. khuzestanica essential oil revealed the presence of carvacrol (94.1%) as its main component. the inhibition zone diameters of s. khuzestanica essential oil and carvacrol dose-dependently increased. the minimum inhibitory concentration (mic) values of s. khuzestanica essential oil and carvacrol were 0.14 ± 0.08 µl/ml and 0.09 ± 0.04 µl/ml, respectively. s. khu...
