✦ Synopsis
kurdica, S . lanata, S . perfoliata and S . athoa on mouse swimming performance were investigated using two different doses. In order to compare their effects on the swimming experiments, antidepressant drugs, desipramine and trimipramine, were also tested. On the basis of our findings, low doses (250mg/kg) of these extracts from the Siderih species decreased the swimming time, suggesting a central nervous system depressant activity, whereas central nervous system stimulant and/or antistress activities became evident at higher doses (580 mg/kg) of aqueous Sideritis extracts.
