background: the purpose of this study is to evaluate effects of teucrium polium (tp) leaf extracts on adenosine monophosphate activated protein kinase (ampk) level in isolated pancreases. materials and methods: in this experimental study, two groups of rats were used as a control group, and diabetic group. in the end of experimental period the animals were sacrificed then pancreas were removed,...

Possessing putative hypolipidemic effects, Teucrium polium (TP) have been traditionally used as a medicinal plant in Iran. The aim of the present study was to investigate this effect on the sucrose-induced insulin resistance male rat model. Thirty Wistar male rats weighting 180 ± 20 g were divided into five groups of six each. Four groups were given sucrose 50% in drinking water for 10 weeks. I...

| May 2014 | 478 plants have been shown to produce oxidative stress and toxicity.[15-17] This toxicity inclines to be more common among certain patients and in specifi c clinical conditions. Thus, knowledge about successful prevention or amelioration of a medicinal drug requires information about pathogenic mechanisms of kidney damage and related risk factors.[1,8,18,19] In this regard, to be e...

teucrium polium l. (tp) is widely used in traditional medicine of many countries including iran. there are various reports about pharmacological properties of tp such as calcium antagonist, anti- ulcer, anti – diabetic. there are a few reports about possible toxicological effects of this plant. in the present study we designed to evaluate the subchronic toxicity of teucrium polium total extract...

Background and Objective: Teucrium polium (TP) has shown hypoglycemic effect in type 1 diabetes induced by single high dose of the cytotoxic agent streptozotocin (STZ) in rats. This study was conducted to evaluate whether its aqueous extract could have such an effect in multiple low-dose STZ-induced model of type 1 diabetes in rats. Materials and Methods: Male Wistar rats were divided into cont...
