Nuciferine Prevents Hepatic Steatosis by Regulating Lipid Metabolismin Diabetic Rat Model.

Objective: This study investigatesthe nuciferine capacity to regulate the liver's lipid metabolism regarding steatosis and injury in STZ-induced diabetic rats.

Materials And Methods: The rats were randomly divided into groups control, diabetic and nuciferine 200 mg/kg/ day treatment. After 4 days of STZ injection, the nuciferine group was treated and administered via oral gavages for 4 weeks.

Anti-inflammatory activity of polysaccharides from Phellinus linteus by regulating the NF-κB translocation in LPS-stimulated RAW264.7 macrophages.

Inflammatory response remains one of the most common and serious complications of disease. In order to profound understanding relationship between Phellinus linteus polysaccharides (TCM) and inflammation, inflammatory cell model was constructed by LPS acting RAW264.7 cell line.

Curcumin supplementation regulates lipid metabolism in broiler chickens.

The purpose of this study was to investigate whether dietary curcumin affects lipid metabolism in the liver of broiler chickens. Four treatment groups were formed from 1200 1-day-old broiler chickens, including a base diet (control, supplemented with 0 mg/kg curcumin), 500 mg/kg, 1,000 mg/kg, and 2,000 mg/kg dietary curcumin, for 49 d. At the end of experiment, each group of 50 chickens were sampled and analyzed.

Curcumin alleviates liver oxidative stress in type 1 diabetic rats.

The aim of the present study was to determine the effects of curcumin on antioxidants using a rat model of type 1 diabetes. Seven‑week‑old male Sprague‑Dawley rats were injected with Streptozotocin (STZ) intraperitoneally to induce this model, and then treated with 1.0% curcumin (weight ratio) mixed in their diet for 21 days.
