Synthesis, properties and antibacterial activity of Ca doped ZnSnO nanoparticles by microwave assisted method.

A major problem in world health care is the development of antibiotic resistance in bacteria. In light of this, pure and calcium-doped zinc tin oxide (ZTO) nanoparticles, ZnSnO (S), ZnSnCaO (S), ZnSnCaO (S), and ZnSnCaO (S), were synthesized via simple and cost effective microwave assisted method. The doping effect on antibacterial activity was studied in detail.

Fisetin improves glucose homeostasis through the inhibition of gluconeogenic enzymes in hepatic tissues of streptozotocin induced diabetic rats.

Liver plays a vital role in blood glucose homeostasis. Recent studies have provided considerable evidence that hepatic glucose production (HGP) plays an important role in the development of fasting hyperglycemia in diabetes. From this perspective, diminution of HGP has certainly been considered for the treatment of diabetes.

Antihyperlipidemic effect of fisetin, a bioflavonoid of strawberries, studied in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats.

Chronic hyperglycemia in diabetes is associated with profound changes in lipid and lipoprotein metabolism, with resultant alterations in particle distribution within lipoprotein classes. In the present study, an attempt has been made to explore the antihyperlipidemic effect of fisetin in streptozotocin-induced experimental diabetes in rats. Upon fisetin treatment to diabetic rats, the levels of blood glucose were significantly reduced with an improvement in plasma insulin.

Fisetin, a tetra hydroxy flavone recuperates antioxidant status and protects hepatocellular ultrastructure from hyperglycemia mediated oxidative stress in streptozotocin induced experimental diabetes in rats.

Oxidative stress is a biological entity quoted as accountable for several pathological conditions including diabetes mellitus. Chronic hyperglycemia in diabetes is associated with oxidative stress mediated tissue damage. The present study is aimed to explore the role of fisetin, in ameliorating hyperglycemia-mediated oxidative damage to liver in streptozotocin induced diabetic rats.

Fisetin averts oxidative stress in pancreatic tissues of streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats.

Persistent hyperglycemia is associated with chronic oxidative stress which contributes to the development and progression of diabetes-associated complications. The sensitivity of pancreatic β-cells to oxidative stress has been attributed to their low content of antioxidants compared with other tissues. Bioactive compounds with potent antidiabetic properties have been shown to ameliorate hyperglycemia mediated oxidative stress.
