Rosmarinus officinalis (Lamiaceae) possesses antioxidant activity and hepatoprotective effects, and so may provide a possible therapeutic alternative for chronic liver disease. The effect produced by a methanolic extract of Rosmarinus officinalis on CCl(4)-induced liver cirrhosis in rats was investigated using both prevention and reversion models. Over the course of the development of cirrhosis...

The Inhibition efficiency of Rosemary oil (Rosmarinus officinalis) for corrosion control high carbon steel was done in citric acid medium by weight loss method. Rosmarinus officinalis administered the proportion 0%, 0.50%, 1.00%, 1.50%, 2.00% and 2.50% concentration. This study unveiled that inhibition performed excellently with maximum percentage 88.3% at room temperature 0.5M solution. has sh...
