BACKGROUND Over the past two decades, there has been a growing trend in using oral hygienic products originating from natural resources such as essential oils (EOs) and plant extracts. Seven aromatic plants used in this study are among popular traditional Iranian medicinal plants with potential application in modern medicine as anti-oral infectious diseases. OBJECTIVES This study was conducte...

The objective of this study was to evaluate the antifungal effects Zataria multiflora (ZEO) and Cinnamomum zeylanicum (CEO) essential oils in vapor phase against Aspergillus flavus Penicillium citrinum vitro cheese. activities vapors ZEO CEO were assessed by determining minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC), fractional (FIC) index, inhibition zone diameters. Thymol (51.10%) cinnamaldehyde (77....

In this study, Penicillium digitatum, the causes of green mould disease of orange fruits, were isolated from infected fruit in Bam city. Antifungal activity of three different plant essential oils Eucalyptus camaldulensis, Zataria multiflora, Myrtus communis at 50, 100, 150 and 200 ppm concentration, have been evaluated. MIC (minimum inhibitory concentration) and growth inhibi...

objective(s):in insulin resistance, the insulin action in liver, muscles and adipocytes decreases and result in hyperglycemia, dyslipidemia and hyperinsulinemia. in this study we evaluate the effect of zataria multiflora extract on insulin sensitivity in high fructose fed insulin resistant rats, since this extract was shown antihyperglycemic effect in streptozotocin induced diabetes in rats.   ...

conclusions our findings did not support the use of zataria multiflora boiss in premenstrual syndrome. results thirty-eight students in intervention and 37 students in placebo group completed the study. the groups had no significant difference regarding the severity of pms. both groups showed a significant improvement in pms severity score after the intervention. the repeated-measure analysis o...

long-term use of orthodontic appliances and fixation ligatures creates a favorable environment for the accumulation of oral normal microflora and increases the risk of enamel demineralization and periodontal disease. the aim of this study was to compare the antimicrobial effects of zataria multiflora extract and 0.2% chlorhexidine (chx) mouthwash on experimentally contaminated orthodontic elast...

objective(s): the aim of the present study was to prepare, characterize, and evaluate solid lipid nanoparticles (slns) containing zataria multiflora essential oil (zeo). materials and methods: in this study, z. multiflora essential oil-loaded solid lipid nanoparticles (ze-slns) were prepared to improve its efficiency in controlling some fungal pathogens. slns containing z. multiflora essential ...
