abstractparkinson’s disease (pd) is a neuropathological and debilitating disorder involving the degeneration of mesencephalic dopaminergic neurons. neuroprotective effect of hesperetin has already been reported, therefore, this study examined whether the administration of this flavonoid would attenuate behavioral abnormalities in an experimental model of pd in rat. for this purpose, unilateral ...

objective: this study was designed to investigate the antinociceptive effect of chronic administration of the flavonoid hesperetin in streptozotocin-diabetic rats using formalin and hot tail immersion tests. materials and methods: rats were divided into 5 control groups, hesperetin-treated control, diabetic, sodium salicylate (ss)-treated diabetic, and hesperetin- and glibenclamide-treated dia...

The aim of this study was to examine in vitro, by means of kinetic analysis and molecular docking simulations, the effects of the flavone diosmetin and its flavanone analog hesperetin on CYP (cytochrome P450) 2C9-mediated drug metabolism. To this purpose, the conversion of diclofenac to 4'-hydroxydiclofenac by human liver microsomes was used as a model assay for assessing the CYP2C9 inhibitory ...

Diabetes is a life-long disease and is considered as the second foremost reason to cause blindness and renal failure worldwide. It is a chronic disease caused by inherited or acquired deficiency in the production of insulin by the pancreas, or by ineffectiveness of the secreted insulin. This study is carried out to evaluate the effect of hesperetin on dearrangement in glycoprotein levels in the...

Abstract Background Metoprolol is a substrate of CYP3A4, 2B6, CYP2D6, CYP2C9, and p -glycoprotein ( -gp). Hesperetin was reported as an inhibitor cytochrome P-450 (CYP) enzymes -gp. The objective this study to investigate the effect hesperetin on pharmacokinetics metoprolol in rats vitro models. In vivo studies, male Wistar were treated with (30 mg/kg) once day for 15 consecutive days alone com...

PURPOSE This study investigated the ability of hesperetin, a natural flavonoid, to prevent selenite-induced cataracts in a rat model. METHODS Animals were divided into four treatment groups: G1 (control group), G2 (hesperetin-treated group), G3 (selenite-induced cataract group), and G4 (hesperetin-treated selenite cataract group). Animals in the G1 and G3 groups were injected with vehicle alo...

Our objective was to examine the effect of orange juice and hesperetin on serum total antioxidant capacity (TAC), lipid peroxidation (MDA), uric acid and hepatic xanthine oxidase (XO) and xanthine dehydrogenase (XDH) activity in hyperuricemic rats. Experimentally hyperuricemia in rats was induced by intraperitoneal injection of potassium oxonate (250 mg/kg). Orange juice (5 ml/kg) and hespereti...

Diabetes mellitus is the most common serious metabolic disorder and it is considered to be one of the five leading causes of death in the world. Hyperglycemia-mediated oxidative stress plays a crucial role in diabetic complications. Hence, this study was undertaken to evaluate the protective effect of hesperetin on the plasma glucose levels and on the antioxidant defense system in streptozotoci...

Endothelial apoptosis is a driving force in atherosclerosis development. Oxidized LDL promotes inflammatory and thrombotic processes and is highly atherogenic, as it stimulates macrophage cholesterol accumulation and foam cell formation. This study investigated multiple mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK)-responsive death/survival signaling pathways, through which flavonoids of (-)epigalloc...
