The intricate Gut microbiome is evolving as an important system and is hypothesized to be a "metabolic organ" within the host. Alterations in Gut microbiota and inflammation associated with several diseases play a crucial role in drug transformation through microbiota-host co-metabolism, modified pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamics profiles, and may result in the formation of toxic metabolites with interference in drug response. In recent studies, a large number of drugs are reported that are co-metabolized by the host and the Gut microbial enzymes.

Herbs have been used as medicines since antiquity, and it has been discovered that the human body responds well to herbal remedies. Research on the effect of butin was conducted in the current study in the alloxan-induced diabetic rat paradigm. A total of 30 Wistar rats were randomly assigned into the following groups (n = 6): I-Normal; II-Alloxan-induced (50 mg/kg); III-Alloxan + butin 25 mg/kg; IV-Alloxan + butin 50 mg/kg; V-Butin per se 50 mg/kg.

Background: Huntington's disease (HD) is an extremely harmful autosomal inherited neurodegenerative disease. Motor dysfunction, mental disorder, and cognitive deficits are the characteristic features of this disease. The current study examined whether 6-shogaol has a protective effect against 3-Nitropropionic Acid (3-NPA)-induced HD in rats.

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by the demyelination of nerves, axonal damage, and neuroinflammation. Cognition impairment, pain, and loss of mobility are some of the usual complications of MS. It has been postulated that the overproduction of proinflammatory cytokines and reactive oxygen species (ROS) are the main factors that contribute to MS pathology.

Background: Much increasing evidence has suggested that long-term complications post vaccination of SARS-CoV-2 experience a wide range of complication including diabetes. The risk and burden of type 1 diabetes is extensively reported, but type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D) has yet to be characterized. To address this gap, we aimed to examine trends of long-term complications post SARS-CoV-2 infection and vaccination in diabetes incidence among the Saudi population.

Erectile Dysfunction (ED) is a prevalent sexual health condition affecting a significant portion of the male population worldwide. The conventional therapeutic approaches for ED often involve the use of pharmaceutical agents targeting the phosphodiesterase-5 (PDE5) enzyme. Currently, treatment with PDE-5 inhibitors is the standard approach for ED, and four PDE-5 inhibitors, namely sildenafil, vardenafil, tadalafil, and avanafil, are in use.
