Common Names: oregano
The study found that essential oils of DUB and HIR increased HDL-C levels in athletes, which is good for heart health. No effects on liver biomarkers.
Study tested antibacterial effects of 8 essential oils on P. multocida and M. haemolytica isolates. Lemongrass oil most potent. Different effects seen with agar diffusion and microdilution methods. Important for potential phytotherapeutic treatments.
Study evaluates essential oil's antibacterial and antibiofilm efficacy on MDR Gram-negative bacteria. Showed high activity, synergy with antibiotics, and potential as a new antibacterial strategy. Essential oil could be used to develop new antibacterial molecules.
Researchers studied the use of polymeric biomaterials and essential oils in wound healing to improve the healing process, reduce inflammation, and promote faster recovery. Key findings suggest potential for clinical trial application.
"Oregano seed extract reduces fatty liver in obese mice by regulating lipid metabolism genes. Shows potential for treating obesity and liver disease. Important for understanding natural remedies for metabolic disorders."
Researchers evaluated the antioxidant and antibacterial properties of a nanoemulsion coating with oregano essential oil on chicken meat. Results showed effective inhibition of microbial growth, suggesting potential for food safety and public health benefits.
Researchers formulated an antifungal gel containing oregano and clove oils to treat oral candidiasis effectively at lower concentrations, reducing side effects and resistance. Gel showed no cytotoxicity, offering a safe treatment option.
Researchers analyzed the chemical composition, antimicrobial and antioxidant activities of oregano essential oils (OEOs) from different regions. OEOs demonstrated strong antimicrobial resistance against fungi and high antioxidant activity. OEOs high in carvacrol have potential as antimicrobial and antioxidant agents.
This study assessed the impact of garlic and oregano essential oil mixture on digestibility in sheep. Results showed that low levels of the mixture improved dry matter digestibility and nutrient intake. The essential oil mixture has the potential to improve fiber digestion and reduce antibiotic use in livestock.
Bulgarian rose damascena oil has effective antifungal activity against common opportunistic fungal pathogens, including Candida species. It also shows better inhibitory effects and induces cell death. This oil could be developed for novel therapies against vaginitis-causing fungal infections.
Carvacrol, found in essential oils from Origanum vulgare L., can completely inhibit the growth of Aspergillus flavus in wheat grains, making it a potential biofumigant for preventing postharvest grain contamination. Carvacrol induces oxidative stress and damages the plasma membrane and DNA of A. flavus.
Oregano essential oil (OEO) extracted from L. plant grown in Sicily showed strong antioxidant capacity and reduced viability of breast cancer cells. OEO induced cell death via activation of caspases, mitochondrial dysfunction, and alterations in Bcl-2 family proteins. Combination of different OEO constituents could be a potential treatment for breast cancer.
This study found that plant-based silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) effectively damage antibiotic-resistant bacteria through oxidative damage. AgNPs synthesized through and extracts were most effective in and , respectively. The results show that AgNPs can kill bacteria by altering DNA, lipids, and proteins.
The researchers studied the effect of zein and bacterial cellulose on flaxseed mucilage/carboxymethyl cellulose composite. Zein improved the mechanical and barrier properties, while zein particles encapsulated oregano essential oil, delaying its release for extended antimicrobial effect.
Plant essential oils (EOs) were tested for their antifungal activity against gray mold and brown rot. Results showed that certain EOs inhibited the growth of the fungi, suggesting their potential use for controlling these diseases in fruit and vegetable storage.
Certain plant essential oils, specifically those from Thymus vulgaris and Origanum vulgare, have been found to effectively inhibit the growth of Botrytis cinerea and Penicillium expansum. These oils cause structural and functional damage to the fungi, making them potential alternatives to synthetic fungicides.
This study found that oregano essential oil has strong antimicrobial properties against foodborne pathogens and biofilms, making it a potential candidate for food and health applications.
The study explored how endophytes in medicinal plants produce antimicrobial essential oils through gene expression, indicating their potential for biotechnological antimicrobial agent development.
This study focused on the classification of nine species and three natural hybrids of the Origanum L. plant genus present in Greece. There is currently no agreement on their precise botanical classification in previous research. One particular taxon, Origanum × lirium, has been referred to as both a separate species and a natural hybrid between Origanum vulgare subsp. hirtum and Origanum scabrum.
In this study, researchers evaluated the inhibitory potentials of commercial essential oils and their main component, carvacrol. The essential oils, including and , were found to inhibit angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 and lipoxygenase enzymes. Carvacrol showed the highest inhibitory activity for both enzymes. The findings suggest that these essential oils and carvacrol have potential health benefits, particularly in regulating blood pressure and inflammation. Further studies are needed to ensure their safety and effectiveness.
