The antidiabetic effect of Hunteria umbellata extracts (aqueous and methanol) on hematological, lipid profile biochemical parameters in streptozotocin-induced diabetes female wistar rats was studied. phytochemical screening the seed determined using standard chemical methods. Twenty five (25) weighing between 117g 170g were shared into (5) groups animals per group for physiological studies. All...

Background: Diabetes mellitus is one of the main causes death due to complications that involve many organs such as heart, kidney, retina and others. Mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) has been demonstrated be effective in treatment diabetes. Aim work: To evaluate effect cells diabetic cardiomyopathy clarifying their role oxidative stress inflammation. Material methods: 30 adult male albino rats were ...

Background: Diabetes mellitus is a systemic condition that affects various organs, including the eyes. N-acetylcysteine ​​(NAC) functions as an antioxidant because it belongs to thiol group synthesis glutathione. However, availability of cysteine ​​in body only 15%, so ​​supplementation can help with oxidative stress in diabetic cataracts. That will prevent reaction lipid peroxidase and formati...

BACKGROUND Painful neuropathy is the most common and debilitating complication of diabetes and results in hyperalgesia and allodynia. Hyperglycemia clearly plays a key role in the development and progression of diabetic neuropathy. Current therapeutic approaches are only partially successful and they are only thought to reduce the pain associated with peripheral neuropathy. Some natural product...

objective: streptozotocin (stz) destroys the beta cells of pancreas by generation of reactive oxygen species and vitamin c has documented antioxidant properties. this study was designed to evaluate the preventive effect of supplementation of diet by vitamin c on induction of stz-diabetes and its effect on carbohydrate and lipid metabolism of diabetic rats. materials and methods: fifty male wist...

background: autoimmune type 1 diabetes mellitus is caused by t-cell mediated immune destruction of the insulin-producing β-cell in pancreatic islets of langerhans. specificity of the auto-antibodies and of the auto-reactive t-cells has been investigated, in which several auto-antigens were proposed. objective: to determine whether glutamic acid decarboxylase (gad) feeding would induce oral tole...

cardiovascular disorders continue to constitute major causes of morbidity and mortality in diabetic patients. in this study, the effect of chronic administration of sesame (sesamum indicum l) seed feeding was studied on aortic reactivity of streptozotocin (stz)-diabetic rats. male diabetic rats received sesame seed-mixed food at weight ratios of 3% and 6% for 7 weeks, one week after diabetes in...

intracerebroventricular (icv) injection of streptozotocin (stz) causes cognitive impairment in rats. the beneficial effect of crocus sativus l. extract (cse) was evaluated on icv stz-induced learning, memory, and cognitive impairment in male rats. for this purpose, rats were injected with icv stz bilaterally, on days 1 and 3 (3 mg/kg). the stz-injected rats received cse (60 mg/kg; i.p.) every o...

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...

objective(s):hyperglycemia mediated oxidative stress plays a key role in the pathogenesis of diabetic complications like nephropathy. in the present study, we evaluated the effect of ethanolic extract of ensete superbum seeds (esse) on renal dysfunction and oxidative stress in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. materials and methods:glucose, hba1c, total protein, albumin, renal function mark...
