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...

teucrium polium l. (lamiaceae) is used in the traditional medicine of iran for the treatment of disorders of the gastrointestinal tract. the essential oil from the aerial parts of t polium was assessed for antispasmodic activity and compared with the effect of atropine and dicyclomine. acetylcholine and kc i were used for induction of contraction on rat isolated ileum. teucrium polium essential...

Some plant extracts showed the ability to retard the diffusion of glucose across the dialysis tube. The present study was designed to investigate the effect of aqueous and ethanolic extracts of Teucrium polium (T. polium) on glucose movement across the dialysis tube. The T. polium powder was dissolved in ethanol and distilled water. Then glucose was added to make a final concentration of 0.2 - ...

Teucrium polium L. (Labiatae) has long been recognized in folk medicine in the treatment of many pathophysiological implications, such as gastrointestinal disorders, inflammations, diabetes and rheumatism. In this study antimicrobial activity of two crude extracts obtained from Teucrium polium L. was tested against bacterial species. Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) and Minimum Bactericid...

The sequential extraction of Teucrium montanum L. was realized with five solvents of different polarities (70% methanol, petroleum ether, chloroform, ethyl acetate, n-butanol). The scavenging activity (SA) of obtained extracts was tested by measuring their ability to scavenge stable 2,2`-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free radical using electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy. The results ...
