“…The twelve hours period starvation was then continued as above. Afterwards the animals were allowed for normal housing with food ad lib for 48 hours during which T.polium aqueous extract (150 mg/kg) or controls were given orally twice daily (Twaij and Al-Badr, 1988). The ulcers were assessed as above and the degree of healing was determined accordingly and reported as percentage in comparison with the untreated animals.…”

A large number of Jordanian and Iraqi medicinal plants have been used in traditional medicine for hypoglycemic and anti-ulcer activities. We have started a screening program to evaluate the activity of some of these plants and their extracts taking in consideration their use as an alternative therapy. Various parts of several plants were extracted and the hypoglycemic effects of the aqueous extracts have been examined in normal, glucose loaded and alloxan diabetic experimental animals. Teucrium polium aqueous extract was studied for its anti-ulcer activity of ulcers induced in rats by starvation and reserpine and/or stress. The aqueous extract of the aerial parts of Artemisia herba alba was administered orally to normoglycemic and alloxan diabetic rabbits and rats and found to produce a significant hypoglycemic activity (normoglycaemic: plasma glucose levels reduced from 116±4 to 90±3mg/dL after 90minutes, p<0.001; diabetic animals from 471±7 to 399±9mg/dL, p<0.001). The aerial aqueous extract of Phangnalon rupestre, Sinapis arvensis and Eryngium creticum also exhibited significant hypoglycemic effects in euglycaemic and glucose loaded rats. The other plants examined (Ditrichia graveolens, Alkanna strigosa, , Centaurea iberica, Asphodelin lutea, Paronychia argentea, rosmarinus officinalis, Achillea santolina, Achillea micrantha, Allium sativum, Centaurea phyllacephala, Centaurea behen, Crataegus azarolus, Prosopis farcta and Myrtus communis) failed to produce a significant change in the plasma glucose levels. One herb was comprehensively tested in detail for its anti-ulcer activity; Teucrium polium aqueous extract (intraperitoneally;150mg/kg) produced an average of 50% healing of ulcers where as the orally administered extract produced 85% healing activity of ulcers when compared with the controls.

“…L'activité antidiabétique de certaines plantes a également été prouvée expérimentalement par des études in vivo ou in vitro (Tableau 2), à titre d'exemple l'effet antihyperglycémique de l'armoise blanche (Artemisia herba-alba) (Twaij et al-Badr, 1988;AlKhazraji et al, 1993;Marrif et al, 1995;Tastekin et al, 2006;Mansi et al, 2007) (Jouad et al, 2001 ;Eddouks et al, 2002 ;Tahraoui et al, 2007 ).

RÉSUMÉObjectif : Dans le but de contribuer à une meilleure connaissance des plantes médicinales utilisées dans le traitement du diabète et de l'hypertension artérielle, auprès de la population riveraine de la forêt d'Izarène. Méthodologie et résultats : Des enquêtes ethnobotaniques ont été réalisées à l'aide de 264 fiches questionnaires dans la région étudiée. Les résultats obtenus ont permis d'inventorier 57 espèces de plantes médicinales appartenant à 30 familles et réparties en 52 genres. Parmi ces espèces, 40 sont traditionnellement utilisées contre le diabète et 30 contre l'hypertension artérielle. Parmi les 40 espèces utilisées dans le traitement du diabète, 13 sont également employées pour traiter l'hypertension artérielle. Il s'agit de : Ajuga iva (Ivette musquée), Centaurium Erythraea (Petite centaurée), Origanum compactum (Origan), Rosmarinus officinalis (Romarin), Nigella sativa (Nigelle cultivée), Pistacia lentiscus (Lentisque), Tetraclinis articulata (Thuya), Arbutus unedo (Arbousier), Trigonella foenum-graecum (Fenugrec), Lavandula dentata (Lavande dentée), Salvia officinalis (Calamenthe vulgare), Eugenia caryophyllata (Giroflier), et Olea europaea (Olivier). Les feuilles sont les organes les plus utilisés. La décoction est le mode de préparation dominant et l'administration se fait majoritairement par voie orale. Parmi les 57 espèces médicinales utilisées par la population riveraine, 18 espèces (soit 31.57%) spontanées sont collectées de la forêt d'Izarène. La surexploitation menace certaines espèces peu abondantes, comme Origanum compactum, Centaurium Erythraea et Salvia verbenaca (Sauge à feuilles de verveine) de disparition de la forêt d'Izarène. D'où l'intérêt d'adopter une approche de gestion durable pour assurer la conservation et la préservation de ces espèces. and 30 families. Of these, 40 are traditionally used against diabetes and 30 against hypertension. Of the 40 species used in the treatment of diabetes, 13 are also used to treat high blood pressure. These are: Ajuga iva (Ivette musky), Centaurium erythraea (Centaury), Origanum compactum (Oregano), Rosmarinus officinalis (Rosemary), Nigella sativa (Fennel Flower), Pistacia lentiscus (Mastic), Tetraclinis articulata (Thuja), Arbutus unedo (Arbutus), Trigonella foenum-graecum (Fenugreek), Lavandula dentata (Toothed Lavender), Salvia officinalis (Calamenthe vulgare), Eugenia caryophyllata (Clove) and Olea europaea (The Olive Tree). The leaves are the most used organs. The decoction is the dominant mode of preparation and administration is done mostly orally. Of the 57 medicinal species used by the local population, 18 species (31.57%) spontaneous is collected from the forest of Izarène. Overexploitation threatens some scarce species such as, Origanum compactum, Centaurium Erythraea, and Salvia verbenaca (sage verbena leaves) disappearance of the Izarène forest. Hence the need to adopt a sustainable management approach for the conservation and preservation of these species. L'hypertension artérielle (HTA) est l'un des principaux détermina...
