The effect of the Satureja montana ethanol extract on the morphological changes of erythrocytes

The present study investigated the antioxidant activity of ethanol extracts leaves Satureja montana and their influence on membrane stability erythrocytes ex vivo. showed a very potent EC50 = 0.055mg/ml. Rat blood samples were treated with 96% in different concentrations 100 ?g/ml, 200 300 morphological analyses carried out. results significant differences shape incubated higher extract concentrations. Considerable changes observed at concentration ?g/ml which was characterised by highest percentage stomatocytes, while echinocyte formation ?g/ml. this investigation indicated that S. exhibited possible protective effect erythrocytes.
