introduction: diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disorder of the endocrine system leading to increased blood glucose concentration in the patients. as a basic treatment for managing the blood glucose level, insulin or hypoglycemic medications are used but herbal medicines are more favored. the design of this research project was to study the therapeutic effect of hydroalcoholic extract of melissa...

Rosmarinic acid (RA) is an ester of caffeic acid and 3, 4-dihydroxyphenyllacticacid. It is commonly found in Coleus blumei, Salvia officinalis, Melissa officinalis and Rosmarinus officinalis. The biosynthesis of RA starts with precursor molecules L-phenylalanine and L-tyrosine. Simulation of RA biosynthetic pathway was done using Gepasi Software, includes the reaction kinetics of each step of t...

The end of monkey research?” ask Melissa Suran and Howard Wolinsky (2009) against a background of growing concern over the use of primates in research. Indeed, the one factor that might have the biggest impact on primate research in Europe is the revision of Directive 86/609, which will greatly affect the work of many scientists. It is therefore in the interest of all researchers to get an unbi...

This study aimed to determine the effects of plant species on biological parameters Tetranychus urticae Koch and time mite infestation physiology in Ocimum basilicum L., Melissa officinalis L. Salvia Mite induced various levels oxidative stress depending duration infestation. Host plants affected T. life table parameters. The low level susceptibility was characteristic S. officinalis, which app...

We investigated the antimutagenic activities and chemical compositionsof essential oil (EO) from Melissa officinalis, Lavandula angustifolia Origanum onites plants belonging to Lamiaceae family. The compositions of were determined by GC/MS analysis Ames assay was used in activity analysis. Citral, linalool, thymol terpinenes major components EOs M. L. O. onites. In assay, it that EO officinalis...
