Background & Aim: Hyper lipidemy is one of the main factors in progressing cardiovascular diseases. Thymus deanensis celak and Satureja bachtiarica Bunge are medicinal herbs which are used in folklore medicine in Iran. In this research, hypolipidemic effects of essential oils of these herbs in rats fed with a fatty diet were investigated. Experimental: 40 male and femade adult rats (20 rats in ...

BACKGROUND The use of antioxidants in the treatment of infertility has been suggested and recent studies have indicated that oral administration of Satureja Khuzestanica essential oil (SKEO) to rats induces significant antioxidative effects. OBJECTIVE This systematic review was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of antioxidants in infertility and also to assess the effectiveness of Satur...

Four compounds beta-sitosterol, beta-sitosterol-3-O-beta-d-glucopyranoside, ursolic acid and 4',5,6-trihydroxy-3', 7-dimethoxyflavone were characterized from the dichloromethane extract of the aerial parts of Satureja khuzistanica (Lamiaceae), a native medicinal plant growing in Iran, on the basis of spectral analysis and comparing with the data in literature. The natural occurrence of these co...

As we know, Savory herb is one of the most important medicinal plants of Iran that belongs to Lamiaceae family which about 284 species have been identified in the world. Iran, as one of the most important repositories of Savory germplasm in the world, has about 16 species of Satureja genus. Because of so many useful medicinal properties of Savory, this plant has been considered in many recent s...

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...
