“…It has been reported that consumption of 8 ounces (226.8 g) of pomegranate juice per day reduces the risk of high blood pressure, stroke and heart attack by 5% of systolic blood pressure [6]. Punisic and trienoic acids, which are highly present in the oil of pomegranate seeds, have anticarcinogenic properties even at very low doses, and in a study on lung cancer, it was determined that pomegranate extract given orally to mice caused a significant reduction in the growth of tumors in the lung [89]. Pomegranate seeds contain significant levels of fatty acids such as palmitic acid, stearic, linoleic, linolenic and oleic, and the peel contains tannin flavones such as luteolin, quercetin and gallic [42], [62], [60].…”

Today, with the faster development of science and technology, people have started to pay more attention to healthy living and consuming foods that are beneficial for human health. In this context, the value given to fruit species has become increasingly important and the importance of plants whose seeds are consumed has increased, as well as colourful fruits and vegetables. Pomegranate is a fruit grown in many countries in the world, especially in the Mediterranean climate, and its economic value has been increasing in recent years. This fruit has gained great nutritional importance not only because of its flavour but also because it contains many antioxidant substances and phenolic compounds that are beneficial to human health. There are nearly fifty pomegranate varieties registered in our country. These pomegranate varieties range from sweet to sour, from small-in size to large in size, and from hard-seeded to soft-seeded in terms of skin colour and fruit colour. In recent years, the use of pomegranate parts such as peel, seeds, and flowers in cosmetics and food industry has become widespread and studies on the antioxidant properties of different parts of pomegranate have attracted interest. The aim of this review is to investigate the health effects of pomegranate fruit, different parts of pomegranate, and products made from pomegranate.

“…These compounds have antimicrobial properties on many pathogenic microorganisms such as Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae and Bacillus cereus (Aziz et al, 1998, Trichopoulou et al, 2003. P. granatum is an important medicinal plant used to treat various diseases such as cardiovascular diseases, cancer, aphthae, diarrhea, diabetes, infantile brain ischemia, gastritis, alzheimer and ulcer due to its secondary metabolites in pharmaceutical industry (Yılmaz and Usta, 2010;Jurenka, 2008). Pomegranate, which is seen in Mediterranean shrub formation, is frequently consumed in our country and pomegranate seeds is constitute the waste of this plant.…”

In this study, the combinations with Olea europaea (olive) oil of fatty acids of Punica granatum, Calendula officinalis and Helianthus annuus seeds to detect interactions on Escherichia coli, Enterococcus faecalis, Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, Candida albicans and Candida parapsilosis were determined by antimicrobial checkerboard method. It was revealed that linoleic, oleic, palmitic and stearic acid were to be main component of O. europaea, C. officinalis and H. Annuus. By contrast, P. granatum seed oil contained more than 70% conjugated linolenic acids (CLnA), followed by linoleic acid, oleic acid, stearic and palmitic by using GC-FID. Exposed microorganisms to combinations with O. europaea oil of fatty acids of P. granatum, C. officinalis, H. annuus overnight, according to FICI (Fractional Inhibitory Concentration Index) interpretation model, remarkable IndE was observed as 71.43% against E.coli and 76.19% against S. aureus, B.subtilis, C.albicans while lower AntE noted as 28.57% against E.coli and 23.81% against S.aureus, B.subtilis, C.albicans.

ABSTRACT. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of lyophilized pomegranate extract on spermatological features, pathology of testes and total antioxidant/oxidant status in rabbits. Adult male rabbits were divided into four groups containing six rabbits each. For 8 weeks, Group I received standard diet and 1 ml % 0.5 carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), Group II received 25 mg/kg/day pomegranate extract + 1 ml % 0.5 carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), Group III received 50 mg/kg/day pomegranate extract + 1 ml % 0.5 CMC and Group IV received 100 mg/kg/day pomegranate extract + 1 ml % 0.5 CMC. Rabbits were sacrificed by using xylazine 5 mg/kg+ketamine 35 mg/kg anaesthesia and were euthanized by 150 mg / kg intraperitoneal thiopental sodium at the end of the eighth week. Spermatozoon motility, abnormal sperm rate, sperm membrane integrity, total antioxidant/oxidant level and spermatogenic cell density were investigated. All analyses were done only once at the end of study period. Data were compared by analysis of variance (ANOVA) and the degree of significance was set at (p<0.05). Sperm motility and membrane integrity increased significantly (p<0.05) in groups II, III and IV; abnormal sperm rate decreased significantly (p<0.05) in groups III, IV; total oxidant status decreased significantly (p<0.05) in group IV in comparison to the control group. Seminiferous tubule diameter increased significantly (p<0.05) in all groups compared to the control group. Germinal cell layer thickness significantly increased (p<0.05) in group IV compared to the control group. Results of this study suggest that 50 mg/kg/day + 1 ml % 0.5 CMC and 100 mg/kg/day + 1 ml % 0.5 CMC improve sperm parameters in rabbits.
