Antidiabetic and Anti-Inflammatory Effect of Oil in Alloxan-Induced Diabetic Rats.

Diabetes mellitus presents a great diversity of treatments that cause adverse effects; therefore, plants are a source of compounds that may have fewer adverse effects; () has compounds with potential antidiabetic activity. The objective was to evaluate the antidiabetic effect of oil (CCO) and its impact on oxidative stress in Wistar rats. Five groups were evaluated: (1) sham (SH), (2) 300 mg/kg CCO (CCO), (3) diabetic (D) induced with alloxan, (4) D + 300 mg/kg of CCO (D + CCO), and (5) D + 500 mg/kg of metformin (D + MET); all were treated for 5 days.

Evaluation of hypoglycemic and antioxidant effects of Brickellia eupatorioides, Citrus limettioides and Gochnatia hypoleuca.

Diabetes is a chronic metabolic condition with a rapidly increasing prevalence. It comes with a rise in the generation of free radicals, potentially leading to additional health issues. Further studies and creative approaches are required to address this.

Anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activity of essential amino acid α-ketoacid analogues against renal ischemia-reperfusion damage in Wistar rats.

Introduction: Essential amino acid α-keto acid analogs are used in the treatment of chronic kidney disease to delay the symptoms of uremia. However, it is unknown whether essential amino acid α-keto acid analogs affect the oxidative stress and the inflammation in acute renal injury such as those produced by ischemia-reperfusion.

Objective: To evaluate the effect of essential amino acid α-keto acid analogs on renal ischemia-reperfusion injury in Wistar rats.

Anti-inflammatory and nephroprotective activity of Juglans mollis against renal ischemia-reperfusion damage in a Wistar rat model.

Background: Oxidative stress and the inflammatory process are involved in ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury. Juglans mollis has been reported as having antioxidant activity, which could attenuate the damage caused by I/R. We evaluated whether a methanolic extract of Juglans mollis (JM) exhibits nephroprotective activity in a Wistar rat model of I/R injury.

Evaluation of hypocholesterolemic activity of extracts of Bidens odorata and Brickellia eupatorioides.

We sought to evaluate the hypolipidemic activity of extracts of Bidens odorata and Brickellia eupatorioides using a model of hyperlipidemia induced in rats by Triton WR-1339 (300mg/kg intraperitoneally). The rats were divided into 5 groups of 3 rats each: normal control group, hyperlipidemic control group, hyperlipidemic with 20 mg/kg atorvastatin, hyperlipidemic with 300 mg/kg B. odorata extract, and hyperlipidemic with 300mg/kg B.
