Possessing putative hypolipidemic effects, Teucrium polium (TP) have been traditionally used as a medicinal plant in Iran. The aim of the present study was to investigate this effect on the sucrose-induced insulin resistance male rat model. Thirty Wistar male rats weighting 180 ± 20 g were divided into five groups of six each. Four groups were given sucrose 50% in drinking water for 10 weeks. I...

In order to find an appropriate complementary drug from traditional folk medicine, Teucrium polium was examined. Prednisolone was used as a control anti-allergic drug. Me...

Dormancy and germination requirements were investigated in seeds of Ferula gummosa Boiss (Apiaceae) and Teucrium polium L. (Labiatae). Seeds of both species were subjected to different treatments including various levels of GA3, HNO3, H2SO4, chilling and soaking with water at different temperatures. Germination of both species increased at higher concentrations of GA3. In the case of F. gummosa...
