Assessment of the protective effect of vitamin E supplementation on oxidative damage of diabetic rat spleen induced by streptozotocin.

Aims: Increased oxidative stress in diabetes mellitus may lead to splenic damage, contributing to decreased immunity. This study aims to evaluate the potential of vitamin E supplements as a protective agent against spleen injury by examining physiological, hematological, biochemical, and histological changes in diabetic rat model.

Methods: Diabetes was induced in male wistar albino rats through an intraperitoneal injection of 50 mg/kg Streptozotocin, and the rats were randomly divided into five groups.

Evaluation of antibacterial activity, in-vitro cytotoxicity and catalytic activity of biologically synthesized silver nanoparticles using leaf extracts of .

Nanotechnology has become a cutting-edge field of research that has emerged as an interdisciplinary research area and contributes to almost every field of science. With the increasing demand for sustainable greener products, attention has recently been focused on green nanotechnology. This study manifested the aptitude of (LM) leaf extract, fortified with phytochemicals, to biosynthesize silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) for the first time.

Nutritional characterization and antioxidant properties of various edible portions of : A potential source of nutraceuticals.

Pumpkin () is a widely grown vegetable in Bangladesh and is known as the sole supplier of various nutrients. Many studies evidence the nutritional value of flesh and seed while peel, flower, and leaves were reported scarcely with limited information. Therefore, the study aimed to investigate the nutritional composition and antioxidant properties of flesh, peel, seed, leaves, and flowers of .

Analysis of bioactive compounds present in different crude extracts of and seeds by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry.

Plant seeds are the resources of many different bioactive components. The chemical composition of the different crude extracts from (White pumpkin) and (Pumpkin) seeds with three different polarity-based solvents (n-hexane, n-hexane-chloroform (2:1), and methanol) was analyzed to identify the biologically active compounds. Each of the extracts was analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry.

Identification and Growth Characterization of a Novel Strain of Isolated From Soya Paste.

The nonpathogenic yeast (Sb) has beneficial effects on the human intestine, and thus has been prescribed as probiotics for the treatment of diarrhea and gastrointestinal diseases. This is the only commercialized yeast with the purpose of being used as human medicine. Currently, little is known about their multiple mechanisms of actions.

1alpha,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D(3) inhibits rat liver ultrastructural changes and the development of gamma-glutamyltranspeptidase-positive foci in diethylnitrosamine-initiated and streptozotocin-induced diabetes-promoted hepatocarcinogenesis.

In the present study, the chemopreventive effect of the active metabolite of vitamin D, 1alpha,25-dihydroxyvitamin D(3) (VD(3)), against chemically-induced and diabetes-promoted rat liver carcinogenesis was investigated. Hepatocarcinogenesis was initiated with a single intraperitoneal (i.p.
