evaluation of the preventive and corrective effect of the extract of Melissa
officinal on an animal model; Wistar rats, Our experimentation is divided
into four important areas of study, studies of weight changes, studies of
oxidative stress parameters, biochemical and metabolic parameters, Our
results show that imidacloprid causes a decrease in relative heart weight
rats and disturbance in the parameters studied and after the addition of the
extract of Melissa officinale we noticed its role and its corrective effect.
The present study showed that the exposure to imidacloprid to toxic
effects on the parameters mentioned previously, the supplementassions of
Melissa officinale improved most of the studied parameters
