Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis L.) has always known a versatile, aromatic herb and addition to being used as a food flavoring is also known medicinally for its powerful antioxidant activity, antibacterial and hepatoprotective properties. In this study we examined the effects of rosemary iextract on the lifespan and aging in Drosophila melanogaster against high-fat induced oxidative injury, an...

The Mediterranean diet has long been attributed to preventing or delaying the onset of cardiovascular disease, diabetes and various solid organ cancers. In this particular study, a rosemary extract standardized to carnosic acid was evaluated for its potential in disrupting the endoplasmic reticulum machinery to decrease the viability of prostate cancer cells and promote degradation of the andro...

Oxidative damage is one of the hallmarks of the aging process. The current study evaluated effects of two proprietary antioxidant-based ingredients, rosemary extract and spearmint extract containing carnosic acid and rosmarinic acid, respectively, on learning and memory in the SAMP8 mouse model of accelerated aging. The two rosemary extracts contained carnosic acid (60% or 10% carnosic acid) an...

This paper presents a comprehensive analysis of the phytochemical profile of a proprietary rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis L.) extract rich in carnosic acid. A characterization of the (poly)phenolic and volatile fractions of the extract was carried out using mass spectrometric techniques. The (poly)phenolic composition was assessed by ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-electrospray i...

Cancer cells display enhanced growth rates and a resistance to apoptosis. The ability of cancer cells to evade homeostasis and proliferate uncontrollably while avoiding programmed cell death/apoptosis is acquired through mutations to key signaling molecules, which regulate pathways involved in cell proliferation and survival. Compounds of plant origin, including food components, have attracted ...

INTRODUCTION Reperfusion injury leads to damage to the hemodynamic and functional parameters of the kidney. This study investigated the effects of oral administration of the aqueous extract of rosemary on improvement of changes induced by ischemia-reperfusion in rats. MATERIALS AND METHODS Fourty male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into 4 groups. One group was the control, rates in another ...

background some herbal anticancer agents have direct interactions with dna. objectives the present study aimed to investigate the interaction of ctdna with rosemary flowers. materials and methods we used uv-vis, fluorescence and circular dichroism (cd) spectroscopic techniques. results the absorption of dna at 260 nm increased on addition of rosemary. herb extract quench the fluorescence of etb...

DRAGOEV, S. G., 2008. Inhibition of lipid peroxidation of frozen mackerel by pre-storage antioxidant superficial treatment. Bulg. J. Agric. Sci., 14: 283-289 With the help of TBARS the antioxidative effect of rosemary extract, rutin, quercetin, sodium erythrobate, BHT, α-tocopherol and a blend, containing rosemary extract, quercetin concentrate and sodium erythrobate on the lipid peroxidation o...

barrier properties are one of the most important factors in the edible film. in this study, edible mungbean films were prepared containing (0%, 15%, 30%, 45%) concentrations of rosemary aqueous extract. then the effect of rosemary was investigated on colorimetric and barrier properties (water vapor permeability, oxygen permeability). rosemary extract increased the absorption of color in the vis...
