Background: Teucrium polium is a medicinal plant used as an herbal plant for antispasmodic and antimicrobial properties. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of the essential oil of T. polium against fungal, bacterial strains, and Giardia lamblia. Also, chemical analysis of the essential oil of T. polium was analyzed by GC/MS. Methods: Teucrium polium was collected from the De...

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...

Hydride generation atomic absorption spectrometry (HGAAS) was applied for determination of selenium content in dried aerial parts of wild and cultivated Teucrium species (Lamiaceae) growing in Croatia: T. arduini L., T. chamaedrys L., T. flavum L., T. montanum L., T. polium L., and T. scordium L. subsp. scordioides Schreb. Special attention was paid to the wet oxidation procedure for the sample...

Teucrium polium L. (Lamiaceae) (RDC 1117) is a medicinal plant whose species have been used for over 2000 years in traditional medicine due to its diuretic, diaphoretic, tonic, antipyretic, antispasmodic and cholagogic properties. The therapeutic benefit of medicinal plants is often attributed to their antioxidant properties. We previously reported that an aqueous extract of the leaves and stem...

Plant extracts are proved to possess many positive effects in cancer treatment. While many of commonly used therapeutics rely on cytotoxic methodologies, much less are based on positive influence on migrating potential of cancer cells, i.e. on antimetastatic grounds. Here, according to our knowledge, for the first time was investigated influence of Teucrium montanum L. and T. polium L. methanol...

BACKGROUND Diabetes has an adverse effect on spermatogenesis by rising oxidative stress. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of Teucrium Polium extract administration on spermatogenesis and testicular structure in diabetic rats induced with Streptozotocin. MATERIALS AND METHODS 32 male Wistar rats were randomly divided into four groups (n=8/each): control group, di...

In the present study, we examined the possible preventive effect of an extract of Teucrium polium L. (Lamiaceae), a plant with high flavonoid content and antioxidant activity, on experimental NASH. To induce NASH, a meth...
