Objective(s): Development of a nanobiosystem by using plant essential oils with green synthesized silver nanoparticles that present synergistic antibacterial activity for overcoming antibiotic resistance in pathogenic bacteria. Material and Methods: Essential oils (EOs) of Kelussia odoratissima and Teucrium polium extracted by hydrodistillation were analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrome...

malonyl-coa decarboxylase (mcd) is an enzyme involved in the decarboxylation of malonyl-coa to acetyl-coa. in order to explore the hypothesis that the changing plant materials’ mcd activity level can serve as therapy to diabetics, the effect of teucrium polium compounds was studied in a diabetic rat model. in this experimental study, two groups of rats, a control and a diabetic group, each incl...

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...

Teucrium polium (Labiatae) is a plant that widely grows in Iran. Some of species of Teucrium are used for a considerable range of actions in traditional medicine and T. polium has frequently been used as anticonvulsant. In this study, we investigated the protective effects of T. polium ethanolic aqueous extracts and related fractions on seizures induced by pentylenetetrazole (PTZ) and maximal e...

Background: Teucrium polium has been known as an important traditional medicinal plant and is used for different therapeutic purposes such as gastrointestinal disorders. Therefore, the anti-spasmodic and antinociceptive activities of aqueous extract of Teucrium polium w as examined. Methods: Anti-spasmodic effect of different concentrations (47-470 mg/l) of Teucrium polium extract was assessed ...

Background and objectives: Pain is a primarily protective in nature, but often causes discomfort. Currently available analgesic drugs are not useful in all cases due to their side effects. Medicinal plants are believed to be an important source of new chemical substances with potential therapeutic effects, such as, Teucrium polium (TP) used traditionally to relieve hea...

primary dysmenorrhea is a prevalent issue and it can reduce the quality of life in many females worldwide. based on the properties of teucrium polium as a herbal medicine with analgesic and inflammatory properties, this triple-blind, randomized, placebo controlled trial was performed. the study aimed to evaluate the effects of teucrium polium on the severity of primary dysmenorrhea in students....
