Artemisia species are a rich source of herbal remedies with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. We evaluated PMI-5011, an ethanolic extract of Artemisia dracunculus L., on neuropathy in high-fat diet-fed mice, a model of prediabetes and obesity developing oxidative stress and proinflammatory changes in peripheral nervous system. C57Bl6/J mice fed high-fat diet for 16 weeks developed o...

The aim of this study was to obtain new composites collagen-polyphenols and to investigate them as potential materials for wound dressings. Extracts from three plants: Arnica montana L., Artemisia absinthium L., and Urtica dioica L. were mixed in two different ratios and evaluated for their polyphenolic content and antioxidant activity. The herbal formulations were mixed with collagen type I an...
