Objective(s) Current study was undertaken to investigate the analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects of the aqueous extract of Teucrium chamaedrys in mice and rats. Materials and Methods For evaluating of analgesic and anti-inflammatory activity, we used the carrageenan- and dextran-induced paw oedema, acetic acid-induced writhing, tail flick and formalin pain tests. Results The extract of...

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...

BACKGROUND The hippocampus is a target of ovarian hormones, and is necessary for memory. Ovarian hormone loss is associated with a progressive reduction in synaptic strength and dendritic spine. Teucrium polium has beneficial effects on learning and memory. However, it remains unknown whether Teucrium polium ameliorates hippocampal cells spike activity and morphological impairments induced by e...

New records of Celonites tauricus Kostylev, 1935 are reported from Chios, Rhodes, Samos (Greece), Dagestan (Russia), Georgia, and the main portion Azerbaijan (previous were made Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic only). Flower visits imagines observed at six species Lamiaceae, four them being recorded for first time as forage plants C. . The newly Teucrium canum Fisch. & C.A. Mey. Ziziphora tau...

We read with great interest the article by Hasanein and colleagues in the Medical Science Monitor Journal, entitled “Preventive effect of Teucrium polium on learning and memory deficits in diabetic rats” [1]. They aimed to investigate passive avoidance learning and memory in control and streptozocin-induced diabetic rats treated with an aqueous extract of Teucrium polium. Impairment in acquisit...
