Damiana is Considered to be safe for medical use by the FDA. Have Pharmacological studies established the hypoglycemic, antiaromatase, prosexual, estrogenic, anti-bacterial, and antioxidant activity of T. diffusa. The aim of the present study was to Evaluate the possible cytotoxic effect of extracts and organic fractions of esta plant on five tumor cell lines (SiHa, C- 33, Hep G2 , MDA-MB-231 , and T-47D ) and regular human fibroblasts. The results show That the methanolic extract (ToM) greater activity on displayed MDA-MB-23 1 breast cancer cells (with an IC50 of 30.67 mg / mL) than on the other cancer cell lines. Four organic fractions of esta extract exhibited activity on This cancer cell line. In the most active fraction (F4), two active compounds Were isolated, arbutin,  and apigenin . This is the...

Neuronal plasticity

Neuronal plasticity , also called neuroplasticity, neural plasticity and synaptic plasticity is the property that emerges from the nature and function of neurons when they establish communication and modulates the perception of environmental stimuli, both those entering and those who out. Or neuroplasticity neuronal plasticity is the ability of the brain to form new neural connections throughout life in response to new information, to sensory stimulation, development, dysfunction or damage . Neuroplasticity is known as the "renewal of brain wiring ".

Cytokines

Cytokines are a group of proteins that regulate interactions of immune cells. His immunoregulatory function is key in immune response, inflammation.Cytokines are a group of small molecular weight proteins synthesized by many cells particularly immune cells.ts function is immunoregulatory be fundamental in communication and interactions that establish the immune system cells with each other and with other cells . Cytokines direct the innate immune response and specific immune response and are involved in inflammation and hematopoiesis. activated macrophages , eosinophils , neutrophils and NK cells , induce the production of reactive oxygen species and nitrogen and macrophages involved in hematopoietic processes. Involved in such important processes as inflammation, regulation of MHC expression (Major Histocompatibility Complex) class I and class II immunosuppressive responses, regulation of isotype switching of immunoglobulins ,
