New analogs of the PPAR pan agonist AL29-26 encompassed ligand (S)-7 showing potent activation of PPARα and -γ subtypes as a partial agonist. In vitro experiments and docking studies in the presence of PPAR antagonists were performed to help interpretation of biological data and investigate the main interactions at the binding sites. Further in vitro experiments showed that (S)-7 induced anti-steatotic effects and enhancement of the glucose uptake.

An array of preliminar phytochemical, antioxidant, and enzyme inhibition assays were executed, which discerned fractions F1 and F2 as the most effective fractions. These fractions were subsequently studied through experiments, affirming that F2 as the most potent fraction.

The study was analyzed to validate and select the potent bioactive fractions of leaves extract through in vitro and in vivo activities targeting obesity. The phytochemical properties of the bioactive fractions were investigated utilizing total flavonoid, total phenolic and total steroidal content.

Animals were orally administered with optimized QT-loaded nanoemulsion (QTNE) and QT suspension (QTS), equivalent to 30 mg/kg, to the test and control group, respectively. The blood samples were collected at pre-determined time points up to 48 h.

Obesity is defined as increased adipose/fatty mass resulting from a chronic imbalance between energy intake and expenditure. The in vivo investigation was performed for the tissue characterization of obese mice utilizing swept-source optical coherence tomography (SSOCT) for in situ examination and histology of delicate tissues in mice skin.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFInsulin resistance is a major pathophysiological feature in the development of type 2 diabetes (T2DM). Ferulic acid is known for attenuating the insulin resistance and reducing the blood glucose in T2DM rats. In this work, we designed and synthesized a library of new ferulic acid amides (FAA), which could be considered as ring opening derivatives of the antidiabetic PPARγ agonists Thiazolidinediones (TZDs).

Methods: To investigate the wound healing efficacy of root extract of I.
In recent years, there has been a tremendous increase in the understanding of stem cell biology. Stem cells have clonogenic and self-renewing capabilities, and under certain conditions, can differentiate into multiple lineages of mature cells. Recent studies have shown that adult stem cells can be isolated from a wide variety of tissues, including bone marrow, peripheral blood, muscle, and adipose tissue.
