Context: Satureja (Lamiaceae) species are used as flavoring compounds in food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries because of its sweetness and simple cultivation characteristics. They have traditionally been used as muscle pain relievers, tonic, and carminative agents to treat stomach and intestinal disorders such as cramps, nausea, indigestion, and diarrhea, due to their considerable phytochemical characteristics. Objective: This review evaluates some information published since 1989 on Satureja genus from a systematic perspective in terms of its pharmacological and phytochemical characteristics. Materials and methods: Web of Science, PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar databases were searched up to March 2014. ''Satureja'' was used as a research term without narrowing or limiting research elements. After obtaining all reports from database (a total number is about 637), the papers were carefully analyzed in order to find data related to the topic of this review. Results: In this review, 453 reports were used which were published between 1989 and 2014. The study was compiled into two sections (Pharmacology and Phytochemistry). In the pharmacology section, more than 50 different activities were studied. In the second section, in addition to other compounds and inorganic substances, volatiles, phenolic acids, and flavonoids were discussed. Discussion and conclusion: According to our contemporary information, Satureja species have been evaluated for their wide range of biological activities. However, a small part of these studies have been carried out on the active principles. Therefore, in the future, more studies should be carried out to identify responsible phytochemicals for the various activities.
<p>The aim of this study is to examine the effect of cerebral lateralization on drag-flick and shot performance in hockey. For this purpose, 35 elite hockey players participated in the study as subjects. After the lateralization test was applied, the subjects were divided into three groups as dominant right hand, dominant left hand and using both hands, and then shot and drag flick tests were applied to the subjects to determine the effect of lateralization on hockey skills between the groups. The obtained data were analyzed in SPSS 22.0 program. After testing for normality and homogeneity, one-way analysis of variance and LSD correction were performed for multiple groups. When the results were examined, it was determined that hand preference had a significant effect on shooting performance and drag flick performance in favor of right and left hand dominant (p<0.05). As a result, it can be said that the effects of laterization are in favor of the dominant hand in hockey players regardless of whether they are right or left, and individuals using both hands perform negatively in hitting advantageous points.</p><p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0903/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
