Protective effect of zinc oxide nanoparticles synthesized using Cassia alata for DSS-induced ulcerative colitis in mice model.

The most prevalent form of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), ulcerative colitis (UC), is characterized by persistent inflammation of the colorectal mucosa. It is asymptomatic, whereas Crohn's disease (CD) causes patchy lesions in the gastrointestinal tract. Men and women suffer equally from ulcerative colitis, which usually strikes in the second and third decades of life and becomes more common in senior citizens.

Green Synthesis and Characterization of Cobalt Oxide Nanoparticles Using Leaves Extracts and Their Photocatalytic and Biological Activities.

The advanced technology for synthesizing nanoparticles utilizes natural resources in an environmentally friendly manner. Additionally, green synthesis is preferred to chemical and physical synthesis because it takes less time and effort. The green synthesis of cobalt oxide nanoparticles has recently risen due to its physico-chemical properties.

Synthesis, physicochemical characterization, and in vitro evaluation of biodegradable PLGA nanoparticles entrapped to folic acid for targeted delivery of kaempferitrin.

Polymeric nanoparticles are widely studied in the treatment of colorectal cancer. Kaempferitrin-loaded nontoxic and biodegradable poly(d,l-lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) nanoparticles (NPs) developed by the solvent emulsion evaporation method by improving its solubility and bioavailability. In order to improve the delivery of kaempferitrin (KM) to cancerous cells, folic acid (FA) combined kaempfertrin PLGA NPs were prepared.

Orientin Induces G0/G1 Cell Cycle Arrest and Mitochondria Mediated Intrinsic Apoptosis in Human Colorectal Carcinoma HT29 Cells.

Colorectal carcinoma is one of the utmost diagnosed cancer with a steep increase in mortality rate. The incidence has been increasing in developing countries like India due to a westernization life style. Flavonoids have been explored widely for its various pharmacological activity including antitumor activity.

Orientin mitigates 1, 2-dimethylhydrazine induced lipid peroxidation, antioxidant and biotransforming bacterial enzyme alterations in experimental rats.

Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second most diagnosed cancer often identified during the later stages of carcinogenesis. Orientin, a C-glycoside of luteolin, is well known for its versatile therapeutic action toward oxidative stress-induced cellular response may exert chemoprevention against CRC.

Materials And Methods: In our study, we investigated the modulatory effect of orientin on lipid peroxidation, antioxidant defense, and biotransforming bacterial enzymes in 1, 2-dimethylhydrazine (DMH)-induced male albino Wistar rats in a dose-dependent manner.

Orientin, a flavanoid, mitigates 1, 2 dimethylhydrazine-induced colorectal lesions in Wistar rats fed a high-fat diet.

Orientin, a c- glycosyl flavonoid found copiously in roobios tea and various medicinal plants is well known for its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antitumor effects. The present study aims to investigate the anti-cancer efficacy of orientin on 1,2 dimethyl hydrazine induced colonic aberrant crypt foci (ACF) and cell proliferation in Wistar rats. Rats were randomly divided into six groups and fed with high fat diet.

Orientin, a C-glycosyl dietary flavone, suppresses colonic cell proliferation and mitigates NF-κB mediated inflammatory response in 1,2-dimethylhydrazine induced colorectal carcinogenesis.

Orientin, a C-glycosyl dietary flavone profusely found in rooibos tea and passion fruit have gained much attention owing to their multiple pharmacological potentials. The present study intends to investigate the anti-proliferative and anti-inflammatory efficacy of Orientin in 1,2-dimethyl hydrazine (DMH) induced colorectal cancer (CRC) in rats. Animals were arbitrarily segmented into six groups and fed with high-fat diet.

Exploration of cell cycle regulation and modulation of the DNA methylation mechanism of pelargonidin: Insights from the molecular modeling approach.

Pelargonidin is an anthocyanidin isolated from plant resources. It shows strong cytotoxicity toward various cancer cell lines, even though the carcinogenesis-modulating pathway of pelargonidin is not yet known. One of our previous reports showed that pelargonidin arrests the cell cycle and induces apoptosis in HT29 cells.

Cardioprotective effect of fenugreek on isoproterenol-induced myocardial infarction in rats.

Objectives: This study is designed to evaluate the cardioprotective effect of fenugreek on isoproterenol- induced myocardial infarction and is investigated by an in vivo method in rats.

Materials And Methods: Male Wistar albino rats were divided into four groups (n=10). Group I received 0.

Effect of ginger on bacterial enzymes in 1,2-dimethylhydrazine induced experimental colon carcinogenesis.

Colon cancer is becoming increasingly common in Asian countries and still remains the second leading cause of cancer death in the United States. Ginger, a natural spice having both antioxidant and antimutagenic property, is known to inhibit chemical carcinogenesis. This study was designed to investigate the chemopreventive efficacy of ginger on the activity of bacterial enzymes in rats induced colon cancer by 1,2-dimethylhydrazine.

Chemopreventive potential of luteolin during colon carcinogenesis induced by 1,2-dimethylhydrazine.

We investigated the chemopreventive potential of luteolin on hepatic and circulatory lipid peroxidation and antioxidant status during 1,2-dimethylhydrazine induced colon carcinogenesis in rats. Rats were given a weekly subcutaneous injection of DMH at a dose of 20 mg/kg body weight for 15 weeks. Luteolin (0.

Rat colonic lipid peroxidation and antioxidant status: the effects of dietary luteolin on 1,2-dimethylhydrazine challenge.

Colon cancer is the third most common cancer and second leading cause of cancer-related death in the United States. A number of recent articles demonstrate the importance of natural products as cancer chemopreventive agents. In this study, we evaluated the chemopreventive efficacy of luteolin, a flavonoid, on tissue lipid peroxidation and antioxidant status, which are used as biomarkers in DMH-induced experimental colon carcinogenesis.

Chemopreventive efficacy of ginger, a naturally occurring anticarcinogen during the initiation, post-initiation stages of 1,2 dimethylhydrazine-induced colon cancer.

Background: Ginger (Zingiber officinale Rosc) is a natural dietary component, which has antioxidant and anticarcinogenic properties. We investigated the effect of ginger on the initiation and post-initiation stages of 1,2-dimethylhydrazine (DMH)-induced colon carcinogenesis in male Wistar rats.

Methods: Rats were given a weekly subcutaneous injection of DMH (20 mg/kg body weight) in the groin for 15 weeks.

Effect of coconut cake on the bacterial enzyme activity in 1,2-dimethyl hydrazine induced colon cancer.

Background: Colon cancer is one of the most common forms of malignant tumors in humans, and its incidence is increasing. Since the intestinal microflora is directly in contact with the colonic cells, the enzymes of the bacterial microflora may also play a role in colon carcinogenesis. We studied the activity of bacterial enzymes in experimental colon cancer.

Lipid profile in mice fed a high-fat diet after exogenous leptin administration.

Previous studies suggest a possible link between leptin and decreased lipid levels, however, the role of leptin in high-fat diet-induced hyperlipidemia remains unclear. The aim of our study was to evaluate the effect of administering leptin on plasma and tissue lipids in mice fed a high-fat diet. Feeding a high-fat diet (2% cholesterol, 0.
