Title: Effects of <i>Alcea pallida</i> L. (A.) and <i>Tilia argentea</i> Desf. ex DC infusions on swimming performance in mice
Abstract: Abstract In Turkish folk medicine, Alcea pallida L. (A.) and Tilia argentea Desf. ex DC have been used for various purposes, such as expectorant, sedative, diuretic, diaphoretic, sedative activities etc. Since some of the folkloric uses may be related to anti‐stress (adaptogenic) activity, the effects of fresh infusions of A. pallida and T. argentea on mouse swimming performance were investigated. On the basis of our findings, these two plants prolonged the swimming time, suggesting an antistress (adaptogenic) activity.
