Screening of anti-inflammatory activity and dose selection of Mollugo pentaphylla by using cotton pellet induced granuloma in rat
Anti-inflammatory activ ity of the plant Mollugo pentaphylla (Ethanolic Extract) was studied by using sub acute model like cotton pellet induced granuloma technique. Sterilized raw cotton was implanted in the axilla and growing region of the rat. The ethanolic extract of the plant was adminis tered orally (at dose 200mg/kg and 400 mg/kg body weight) by inhibit ing wet weight and dry weight of t...
متن کاملSmad3 Deficiency in Mice Protects Against Insulin Resistance and Obesity Induced by a High-Fat Diet
OBJECTIVE Obesity and associated pathologies are major global health problems. Transforming growth factor-β/Smad3 signaling has been implicated in various metabolic processes, including adipogenesis, insulin expression, and pancreatic β-cell function. However, the systemic effects of Smad3 deficiency on adiposity and insulin resistance in vivo remain elusive. This study investigated the effects...
متن کاملProtection against diet-induced obesity and obesity- related insulin resistance in Group 1B PLA2-deficient mice.
Group 1B phospholipase A2 (PLA2) is an abundant lipolytic enzyme that is well characterized biochemically and structurally. Because of its high level of expression in the pancreas, it has been presumed that PLA2 plays a role in the digestion of dietary lipids, but in vivo data have been lacking to support this theory. Our initial study on mice lacking PLA2 demonstrated no abnormalities in dieta...
متن کاملObesity-Induced Inflammation and Insulin Resistance
Immune response and metabolic regulation are highly integrated and this interface maintains a central homeostatic system, dysfunction of which can cause obesity-associated metabolic disorder such as type 2 diabetes, fatty liver disease, and cardiovascular disease. Insulin resistance is an underlying basis for the pathogenesis of these metabolic diseases. Overnutrition or obesity activates the i...
متن کاملHSP72 protects against obesity-induced insulin resistance.
Patients with type 2 diabetes have reduced gene expression of heat shock protein (HSP) 72, which correlates with reduced insulin sensitivity. Heat therapy, which activates HSP72, improves clinical parameters in these patients. Activation of several inflammatory signaling proteins such as c-jun amino terminal kinase (JNK), inhibitor of kappaB kinase, and tumor necrosis factor-alpha, can induce i...
