Many species of Teucrium were used traditionally in treatment of inflammatory disorders. The present study aimed to assess the anti-inflammatory effect of methanolic extract of aerial parts of Teucrium oliverianum Ging. ex. Benth. (family, Lamiaceae). The extract was evaluated using the carrageenan-induced rat paw edema (Acute and sub-acute models), and turpentine oil–induced granuloma pouch bi...

malonyl-coa decarboxylase (mcd) is an enzyme involved in the decarboxylation of malonyl-coa to acetyl-coa. in order to explore the hypothesis that the changing plant materials’ mcd activity level can serve as therapy to diabetics, the effect of teucrium polium compounds was studied in a diabetic rat model. in this experimental study, two groups of rats, a control and a diabetic group, each incl...

diabetes mellitus (dm) is a metabolic disorder resulting from a defect in insulin secretion, insulin action or both. despite the fact that it has a worldwide high prevalence, morbidity and mortality, it is regarded as a non–curable but controllable disease. in addition to different synthetic drugs, plant remedies and dietary traditions play an effective role in treatment. teucrium polium l. is ...

Abstract Teucrium polium has been used in traditional medicine around the world for centuries treatment of various conditions and diseases. Many studies have confirmed pharmacological effects its extracts, although immunomodulatory effect not investigated. Therefore, aim our study was to examine methanolic extract T. (TPE) on peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) derived from healthy donor...

The unexpected enhancement of alkalinee phosphatase (ALP) activity in the serum of a group of STZ-diabetic rats recieving the Teucrium polium extract (with hypoglycaemic property) may be attributed to its probable side effects. In order to get a more precise knowledge about this subject, we evaluated the effect of T. polium extract on the plasma membrane ALP activity of K562 cell line. Our data...
