some plant extracts showed the ability to retard the diffusion of glucose across the dialysis tube. the present study was designed to investigate the effect of aqueous and ethanolic extracts of teucrium polium (t. polium) on glucose movement across the dialysis tube. the t. polium powder was dissolved in ethanol and distilled water. then glucose was added to make a final concentration of 0.2 – ...

Objective: Teucrium polium L. (family Lamiaceae) is a wild-growing flowering plant, found abundantly in South-Western Asia, Europe and North Africa. Traditionally, T. polium has been used for different pathological conditions such as gastrointestinal disorders, inflammations, diabetes and rheumatism. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the antimicrobial effect of ethanol extract of Teucri...

OBJECTIVE: In traditional medicaments, Teucrium Polium is used as anti-fungal, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and antidiabetic. Modern researches have shown that use of T. polium in vitro leads to decrease in fatty acids. To confirm the anti-diabetic evidences of Teucrium polium this survey was done to evaluate the effect of boiled aqueous extract of T. polium on serum lipids, body weight and...

Introduction: Recently, the search for appropriate hypoglycemic agents has been focused on plants. Teucrium polium is traditionally used in Iran to manage, control and treat diabetes. We designed this study to elucidate the effect of the administration of oral doses of aqueous and ethanol extract from Teucrium polium on plasma glucose, lipid profiles and liver enzymes in diabetic and non dia...

BACKGROUND Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), which include ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD), are debilitating and chronic disorders with unpredictable courses and complicated treatment measures. Therefore, an efficient treatment protocol seems necessary as therapeutic prophylaxis for these disorders.This study aims to determine the healing effect of Teucrium polium (T. polium) ...

teucrium polium can reduce serum glucose. there are few reports in the literature related to this subject and the resolution of this mechanism requires further experiments. the aim of the present study was to evaluate the effects of teucrium polium aerial parts extracts on oral glucose tolerance tests and pancreas histology in streptozocin-induced diabetic rats. in order to prepare the aqueous ...

Introduction Reactive oxygen species (ROS) have been shown to play a critical role in many diseases such as diabetes mellitus, cancer, Alzheimer, arteriosclerosis and other conditions. Chronic glucose levels in blood or cells of diabetic patients are known to cause oxidative damages, followed by an increasing in ROS production and/or dysfunction of antioxidant defense system (enzyme or non-enzy...
