In this study, antioxidant and antimicrobial activities of essential oils obtained from oregano (Origanum vulgare ssp. hirtum) were determined by using solvent-free microwave extraction (SFME), supercritical fluid extraction, and conventional hydrodistillation (CH) methods. The inhibitory effects on the 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) radical of essential oils obtained from oregano by using SFME and CH were similar. However, essential oil extracted by CH showed greater (2.69 mu mol/mL of oil) Trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity (TEAC) than oregano oils obtained by SFME (P<.05). The difference between percentage inhibition and TEAC values most probably is due to the fact that undiluted and diluted samples are used in the percentage inhibition assay and the TEAC assay, respectively. TEAC values of oregano essential oils obtained by SFME at different microwave power levels were found to be similar and ranged from 0.72 to 0.84 mu mol/mu L of oil. Essential oils obtained by CH and SFME at different microwave powers inhibited the survival of Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella typhimurium, and Escherichia coli O157:H7, whereas survival of Staphylococcus aureus was not influenced. In addition, oregano oil obtained by SFME at 40% power level did not show any inhibitory effect on E. coli O157:H7.

Vitamin A deficiency induces structural and functional alterations in the molecular constituents of the rat hippocampus Elibol-Can, Birsen; Simsek-Ozek, Nihal; Severcan, Feride; Severcan, Mete; Jakubowska-Dogru, Ewa (Cambridge University Press (CUP), 2015-01-14) To date, no structural study has been carried out on the effects of vitamin A deficiency (VAD) on hippocampal macromolecules. Therefore, in the present study, the effect of dietary VAD on the structure, content and function of rat hippocampal molecules was investigated using Fourier transform IF spectroscopy. Male Wistar rats were randomly divided into three groups: an experimental group maintained on a vitamin A-deficient liquid diet (VAD, n 7); a control group maintained on a vitamin A-supplemented liquid...
Evaluation of Cholinesterase Inhibitory and Antioxidant Activities of Wild and Cultivated Samples of Sage (Salvia fruticosa) by Activity-Guided Fractionation ŞENOL, FATMA SEZER; ERDOĞAN ORHAN, İLKAY; Erdem, Sinem Aslan; KARTAL, Murat; ŞENER, BİLGE; KAN, YÜKSEL; Celep, Ferhat; Kahraman, Ahmet; Doğan, Musa (Mary Ann Liebert Inc, 2011-11-01) In European folk medicine, Salvia species have traditionally been used to enhance memory. In our previous study of 55 Salvia taxa, we explored significant anticholinesterase activity of cultivated S. fruticosa. In this study, we compared the inhibitory activity of dichloromethane, ethyl acetate, and ethanol extracts of 3 wild-grown samples and 1 cultivated sample of S. fruticosa against acetylcholinesterase and butyrylcholinesterase enzymes (which are associated with pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease) by ...
Anticarcinogenic Effects of the Ethanolic Extract of Salix aegyptiaca in Colon Cancer Cells: Involvement of Akt/PKB and MAPK Pathways Enayat, Shabnam; Ceyhan, Muserref Seyma; BAŞARAN, ARİF AHMET; Gürsel, Mayda; Banerjee, Sreeparna (Informa UK Limited, 2013-10-01) The bark from Salix species of plants has been traditionally consumed for its antiinflammatory properties. Because inflammation frequently accompanies the progress of colorectal cancer (CRC), we have evaluated the anticancer properties of the ethanolic extract from the bark (EEB) of S. aegyptiaca, a Salix species endogenous to the Middle East, using HCT-116 and HT29 CRC cell lines. Fresh bark from S. aegyptiaca was extracted with ethanol, fractionated by solvent-solvent partitioning and the fractions were a...
Assessment of pollution in the West Black Sea Coast of Turkey using biomarker responses in fish BOZCAARMUTLU, AZRA; Sapmaz, Canan; Aygun, Zuleyha; Arinc, Emel (Elsevier BV, 2009-05-01) Aim of this study was to determine the extent of pollution in the West Black Sea Coast of Turkey by measuring CYP1A associated EROD activity, phase II enzyme, glutathione S-transferase and antioxidant enzymes, catalase and glutathione reductase activities and immunochemical detection of CYP1A protein level in the liver of mullet. The fish samples were caught from six locations having a varying degree of pollution in the West Black Sea Region of Turkey in August 2005, 2006 and 2007. Mullets caught from Zongu...
Antioxidative and free radical scavenging properties of rosemary extract Basaga, H; Öztekin, Ceren; Acikel, F (Elsevier BV, 1997-01-01) Autoxidation of corn and soybean oils was prevented in the presence of 0.1 g/kg rosemary (Rosemarinus officinalis L.) extract and butylated hydroxy toluene (BHT). At the end of a 4-d period, the peroxide value in corn oil reached 13.0 and 8.2 in the presence of rosemary extract and BHT respectively. For soybean oil, the peroxide value was found to be 10.0 and 6.6 in the presence of rosemary extract and BHT respectively Rosemary extract and BHT when added as mixtures of 75:25, 50:50 and 25:75 had a synergist...
