Objective(s): Phytochemicals such as polyphenols, alkaloids, and terpenoids, protect against the development of early stages and complications of diabetes mellitus according to various reports. The aim of this study was to measure the anti-dyslipidemic and anti-diabetic effects of Citral on high-fat-diet (HFD) and streptozotocin (STZ) induced diabetic dyslipidemic rats and to see also its effec...

  Background : The major concern in diabetes is increased oxidative stress. Maintaining a balance between reactive oxygen species (ROS) and antioxidants is a major mechanism in preventing damage from oxidative stress. Quercetin (QR) is a well-known flavonoid and a strong antioxidant derived from the onion, Allium cepa, and it has been shown to reduce oxidative stress in the long-term treatment ...

The state of lipid peroxidation (LPO), respiration and oxidative phosphorylation, mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP) antiradical activity rat liver mitochondria in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetes condition were studied, considered the ways correction detected membrane damages with use gossitan, isolated from cotton plant Gossypium hirsutum L. It was shown that rate states V...

Diabetes mellitus both (Type 1 and Type 2) are one of the common causes for activation platelet. Inflammation-induced abnormal platelet function contributes to chronic complications, which leading death morbidity among diabetics. Rac1 has been shown regulate a variety functions; predicted Rac1could release CXCL4, leads kidney injury in Mellitus. mellitus' effect on activation, 21kD G-protein im...

The article discusses the issues about effect of Armadin on hepatic transaminase in rats with acute generalized peritonitis background diabetes mellitus. experiment was performed 48 white male adult rats, which were divided into two groups. experimental group – animals simulated against streptozotocin-induced drug “Armadin” (ethylmethylhydroxypyridine succinate) application (n=24). control with...

coenzyme q 10 is a natural antioxidant and free radicals scavenger. in the present study, we examined effect of coenzyme q 10 on hemoglobin a 1c , serum urea and creatinine in alloxan-induced type 1 diabetic rats. thirty sprage-dawley male rats were divided into three groups randomly; group one as control, group two diabetic untreatment, and group three treatments with coenzyme q 10 (15 mg/kg i...

The present study investigated the possible protective effect of Helicteres isora (Sterculiaceae) bark extracts on certain biochemical markers in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetes in rats. STZ treatment (60 mg/kg/i.p) caused a hyperglycemic state that led to various physiological and biochemical alterations. Blood levels of glucose, urea, uric acid and creatinine, plasma levels of albumin a...

Background: The experimental model of streptozotocine (STZ)-induced diabetes explains changes in the male reproductive system as part of the disease. Objective: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the olive leaf extract effects on STZ-induced diabetes and to examine its modulatory effects on sperm quality. Methods: Twenty adult male Sprague–Dawley rats were divided into four equal grou...
