The modulatory influence of Rosmarinus officinalis (rose albino mice at a dose of 3 Gy gamma radiation. For this purpose, ad gamma rays in the presence (experimental) or absence (control) of r were necropsied and their blood was collected at days 1, 3, 5, 10 number of erythrocyte and leucocyte counts, hemoglobin content control group; whereas a recovery pattern was recorded in e hematological p...

fumigant toxicity of rosemary essential oil on abamectin-resistant vs. susceptible populations of two spotted spider mites, tetranychus urticae koch was studied under laboratory conditions. results indicated that fumigant toxicity of rosemary essential oil on the susceptible population was 3.06 times higher than that of the resistant one. accordingly, there was a slight cross resistance observe...

the aim of the present research was to study the effect of different concentrations of rosemary (rosmarinus officinalis l.) extract, (0, 10, 12.5, 16.6, 25 and 50) mg/l added to semen extender, on sperm qualitative and quantitative parameters after freezing-thawing process of rooster sperm. 10 ross strain rooster were used. semen samples were collected, 2 times a week. after adding the samples ...

The effects of drought on the photosynthetic characteristics of three Mediterranean plants (olive, Olea europea L.; rosemary, Rosmarinus officinalis L.; lavender, Lavandula stoechas L.) exposed to elevated UV-B irradiation in a glasshouse were investigated over a period of weeks. Drought conditions were imposed on 2-year-old plants by withholding water. During the onset of water stress, analyse...

Complex extracts of rosemary honey constituents often require very effective separation techniques to allow the identification of different compounds. Capillary electrophoresis (CE) coupled to mass spectrometry (MS) detection can provide structure-selective information about the analytes in such matrices and has turned out to be an attractive alternative to HPLC methods. A simple and cost-effec...

The effects of antioxidants on the flavor and color of electron-beam-irradiated turkey sausages were studied. Sausages were prepared from turkey thigh meat, NaCl (2.0%), phosphate (0.5%), water (10%), and one of five antioxidant treatments (none, vitamin E, sesamol, rosemary extract, or gallic acid at 0.02%). Sausages were stuffed and cooked in an 85 C smokehouse to an internal temperature of 7...

Experimental evidence suggests that most herbs and spices possess a wide range of biological and pharmacological activities that may protect tissues against O2-induced damage. The objectives of the present study were: first, to determine the effects of plant extracts on the viability, membrane integrity, antioxidant status and DNA integrity of Caco-2 cells and second, to investigate the cytopro...
