EFFECTS OF VALERIAN (Valeriana officinalis), FENNEL (Foeniculum vulgare), LEMON BALM (Melissa officinalis) AND PAROXETINE ON BRAIN AND LIVER TOTAL LIPID AND TOTAL GLUCOSE LEVELS IN STRESSED MICE
Öz
This investigation was carried out to determine the effects of fennel seeds, valerian root, lemon balm leaf and paroxetine on total glucose and total lipit concentrationsin brain and liver and whether these agents prevent to stress or not. Starvation and caffeinization caused both stress and increased glucose and lipit on blood, liver and brain. While, increased blood glucose reduced with fennel, valerian and lemon balm at normal levels but paroxetine caused to hyperglyceamic effect. Furthermore, increased blood and organ lipit reduced with fennel, valerian, lemon balm and paroxetine. All of agents caused hypolipitemic effect. In conclusion, according to findings of this investigation, used herbs in experiments are effective on stress because this herbs reduced blood and organ lipit and glucose levels.
