Background This study aimed to assess the protective effects of saturejakhuzistanica (SJKH) on sperm quality parameters in the Nonyl phenol (NP) - treated mice. MaterialsAndMethods In present experimental study, 32 young adult male mice (8-12 weeks) were randomly divided into four groups including control and test groups. The control group received corn oil orally, and the test groups were trea...

background: satureja bachtiarica bunge, an endemic species with relatively wide distribution, is traditionally used as a medicinal and spice plant in iran. objective: essential oils composition, antioxidant activities and phenolics content of wild and cultivated s. bachtiarica of yazd origin were determined in this study. methods: hydrodistilled essential oils were analyzed by gc-fid and gc-ms....

Background & Aim: Secondary metabolites with bioactive and functional properties in essence of aromatic plants can be useful for improvement of quality and persistence of food as natural preservative.  The aim of this study was to evaluate the in vitro antibacterial of essential oils of some of the medicinal plants collected from Chaharmahal va Bakhtiari Province, Iran. Experimental: ...

The present study was designated to evaluate the antimicrobial and antioxidant activities of the essential oil, obtained by using a Clevenger distillation apparatus, water soluble (polar) and water insoluble (nonpolar) subfractions of the methanol extracts from aerial parts of Satureja hortensis L. plants, and methanol extract from calli established from the seeds using Gamborg's B5 basal media...

Busulfan is an alkylating agent affects ovarian follicles growth by oxidative stress induction. Satureja khuzestanica has antioxidant effects. The aim of this study was to examine whether S. khuzestanica essential oil (SKEO) exhibits protective effects on busulfan-induced ovarian failure. Eighty-four adult female mice were divided into six groups including dimethyl sulfoxide (...

background drug resistance of microorganisms to antimicrobial agents is on the rise. therefore, an alternative route to overcome drug resistance of various microorganisms is needed. objectives this study was conducted to assess antibacterial activity of silver nanoparticles (agnps) produced by satureja hortensis extract against bacillus cereus isolated from soil of sistan plain (zabol, southeas...

The genus Satureja is represented by fifteen species of which five are endemic and Satureja pilosa and S. icarica have recently been found as new records for Turkey. Aerial parts of the Satureja pilosa, S. icarica, S. boissieri and S. coerulea collected from different localities in Turkey were subjected to hydrodistillation to yield essential oils which were subsequently analysed by GC and GC/M...

The purpose of this study was to compare the essential oil profiles of four South-Croatian Satureja species, as determined by GC/FID and GC/MS, with their DNA sequences for an internal transcribed spacer (ITS1-5.8S-ITS2) of the nuclear ribosomal DNA. A phylogenetic analysis showed that S. montana and S. cuneifolia, characterized by a similar essential oil composition, rich in the monoterpene hy...
