Introduction – Scutellaria lateriflora, commonly known as skullcap, is used as an ingredient in numerous herbal products. Unfortunately, it has occasionally been adulterated with Teucrium canadense or T. chamaedrys, commonly known as germander, which contains potentially hepatotoxic diterpenes. Chromatographic profiles of the phenolic components provide a means of distinguishing between these p...

At the worldwide, alien plant species represent a real threat to biodiversity and not only it. These have negative impact on agriculture, natural habitats, touristic activities, transport industry human health. Agriculture is one of most affected economic sector by species, causing productivity decrease high costs for their prevention, eradication control. This paper presents briefly review reg...

BACKGROUND Cognitive impairment occurs in diabetes mellitus. Teucrium polium L. (Lamiaceae) has been used in folk medicine to improve mental performance. Here we hypothesized that chronic treatment with an aqueous extract of Teucrium polium (100, 200 and 400 mg/kg, p.o.) would have an effect on passive avoidance learning (PAL) and memory in control and streptozocin-induced diabetic rats. MATE...

Background: Teucrium Polium and Prosopis Farcta have been traditionally employed in cancer treatment. In this study we evaluated the effects of methanolic extracts of these two plants in HT-29 cells. Methods: IC50s of extracts were obtained via MTT assay and the levels of ROS production, cell death, collapse of mitochondrial membrane potential and Sirt3 enzyme activity were determined. Results:...

BACKGROUND Medicinal plants are used for the treatment of different diseases in almost all cultures. Teucrium species grow wildly at different geographical locations around the world. Teucrium stocksianum is used in folk medicine for the treatment of diarrhea, cough, jaundice and abdominal pain. Scientific study on Teucrium stocksianum shows that it possesses anthelmintic, cytotoxic and antispa...

Sunulan bu çalışmada, XRF spektrometresi kullanılarak dört aromatik bitki taksonunun (Teucrium chamaedrys L. subsp. sinuatum, Astragalus kurdicus var. muschianus, Ranunculus arvensis ve Juglans regia) bazı soğurma parametreleri (kütle azaltma katsayıları, molar yok-olma etkin atom numaraları elektron yoğunlukları) 13.92 ile 59.54 keV foton enerji aralıklarında ölçülmüştür. Ölçümler Si(Li) detek...

Abstract: The onchocercid filaria Litomosoides taylori sp. n. is described from the sigmodontine cricetid Nectomys palmipes Allen et Chapman in northeast Venezuela. A voucher specimen of the new species was used for molecular analysis of the coxI and 12S rDNA genes, and screened for the presence of the endobacterium Wolbachia pipientis. Litomosoides taylori belongs to the "sigmodontis group" of...

Hepatoprotective activity of the ethyl acetate extract of Teucrium polium L. was investigated using rats with CCl4-induced liver damage. Specific biochemical parameters (glutathione peroxidase, superoxide dismutase, reduced glutathione and total antioxidative status) were estimated in blood and in liver homogenate. Lipid peroxidation in CCl4-intoxicated rats was evidenced by a marked increment ...
