: Nonhealing wounds are a serious problem of diabetic patients. species are traditionally used for the treatment of wounds. The aim of the study was to investigate the effects of ointment prepared with ethanol extract obtained from the aerial parts of , an endemic plant from Turkey, on diabetic rat incisional and excisional skin wounds.

The aims of the present study were to evaluate the in vivo wound healing potential, in vitro antimicrobial and antioxidant activities, and total phenolic and flavonoid contents of the aerial parts of two endemic taxa, Salvia kronenburgii Rech.

- Ischemia-reperfusion injury in diabetic patients leads to serious kidney damage, with many existing treatments focusing on anti-diabetic and antioxidant properties.
- The study investigated the effectiveness of different doses of berberine in treating renal injury caused by ischemia/reperfusion in diabetic rats.
- Results showed that higher doses of berberine (100mg/kg and 150mg/kg) significantly reduced kidney damage and improved various biochemical markers compared to untreated diabetic groups.
Background: Remote ischemic preconditioning (IPreC) could provide tissue-protective effect at a remote site by anti-inflammatory, neuronal, and humoral signaling pathways.
Objectives: The aim of the study was to investigate the possible protective effects of remote IPreC on myocardium after transient middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAo) in streptozotocin- induced diabetic (STZ) and non-diabetic rats.
Methods: 48 male Spraque Dawley rats were divided into eight groups: Sham, STZ, IPreC, MCAo, IPreC+MCAo, STZ+IPreC, STZ+MCAo and STZ+IPreC+MCAo groups.
Objectives: We aim to evaluate the effect of ischemic preconditioning (IPreC) on testicular tissue after transient middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAo) in Streptozotocin-induced diabetic (STZ) and non-diabetic rats.
Methods: Testis injury and alterations of testosterone levels were evaluated histologically..
