“…Sea-buckthorn oil as well as extracts from its fruit are used as an adjunctive therapy in treatment of many diseases [1, 2, 4, 8–12, 27, 37, 42, 43]. Sea-buckthorn oil has a soothing effect in inflammation of the alimentary system, duodenum or in diarrhea [37, 38].…”

“…Sea-buckthorn oil has a soothing effect in inflammation of the alimentary system, duodenum or in diarrhea [37, 38]. It is successfully used in treatment of chronic gastric ulcer disease and also in inflammations of vagina and cervix and in cervical erosion [1, 2, 37]. This oil relieves symptoms of rheumatoid disease, lowers cholesterol level, stops small bleeding and lowers the risk of thrombophlebitis [8, 9, 11, 37].…”

Vegetable oils are obtained by mechanical extraction or cold pressing of various parts of plants, most often: seeds, fruits, and drupels. Chemically, these oils are compounds of the ester-linked glycerol and higher fatty acids with long aliphatic chain hydrocarbons (min. C14:0). Vegetable oils have a variety of properties, depending on their percentage of saturation. This article describes sea-buckthorn oil, which is extracted from the well characterized fruit and seeds of sea buckthorn. The plant has a large number of active ingredients the properties of which are successfully used in the cosmetic industry and in medicine. Valuable substances contained in sea-buckthorn oil play an important role in the proper functioning of the human body and give skin a beautiful and healthy appearance. A balanced composition of fatty acids give the number of vitamins or their range in this oil and explains its frequent use in cosmetic products for the care of dry, flaky or rapidly aging skin. Moreover, its unique unsaturated fatty acids, such as palmitooleic acid (omega-7) and gamma-linolenic acid (omega-6), give sea-buckthorn oil skin regeneration and repair properties. Sea-buckthorn oil also improves blood circulation, facilitates oxygenation of the skin, removes excess toxins from the body and easily penetrates through the epidermis. Because inside the skin the gamma-linolenic acid is converted to prostaglandins, sea-buckthorn oil protects against infections, prevents allergies, eliminates inflammation and inhibits the aging process. With close to 200 properties, sea-buckthorn oil is a valuable addition to health and beauty products.

“…Also, the application of molecular marker in understanding intra-specific genetic diversity and molecular tagging in SBT provides a better scope for selection in breeding programme (Persson, 2001). The therapeutic role of sea buckthorn has been described in cancer therapy, cardiovascular diseases, gastrointestinal ulcers, skin disorder and liver protective action (Zeb, 2004).…”

| The genetic diversity among thirty six genotypes of Hippophae Salicifolia D. Don of Uttarakhand region and Hippophae rhamnoides subsp. Turkestanica of Laddakh region was studied; using simple sequence repeats DNA (SSRs)-PCR analysis. The protein profiling and antioxidant profiling (quantitative and qualitative) of seeds was also done to select the superior genotypes having high economic importance. A total of seven simple sequences repeat primers used for detecting genetic variability in Sea buck thorn seeds out of which Seven SSR primers were highly reproducible and found suitable for use in PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) analysis. SSRs profile obtained by primer UTR-15 was containing total of 8 bands (0.15-0.6 kb), among these eight bands, one was found to be polymorphic (12.5%). The similarity coefficients based on SSR markers ranged from 0.011 to 0.999 with an average value of 0.226. The polymorphism information content (PIC) value ranged from 0.1686 (UTR-015) to 0.2975 (UTR-12) with a mean of 0.351. A dendrogram constructed based on the Unweighted Pair Group Method with Arithmetic Mean (UPGMA) clustering method revealed two major clusters of Uttarakhand (with subclusters) and Laddakh region (no subclusters). The analysis of total seed storage protein (quantitative) and protein profiling (qualitative) among the genotypes was performed to indentify novel proteins of important functional attributes. Sodium dodecayl sulphate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) based generated profiles of seed proteins showed major differences in banding patterns among these genotypes with respect to altitude besides differences in seed protein contents. The phenol contents of the H. salicifolia (Particularly Genotype ST 10) was found significantly higher (P<0.05) than H. rhamnoides (Genotype DIHAR-6). The flavonoid content of the DIHAR-14 was higher as compared to ST-1. Total scavenging antioxidant was quite high and equally good in all the genotypes. This study helps in the selection of superior genotypes having higher nutraceutical value by using developed molecular and protein based markers in Uttarakhand and Laddakh regions.
