Functional candesartan loaded lipid nanoparticles for the control of diabetes-associated stroke: In vitro in vivo .

Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disease that raises the odds of developing stroke. Candesartan has been used to prevent stroke due to its inhibitory effects on blood pressure, angiogenesis, oxidative damage, and apoptosis. However, oral candesartan has very limited bioavailability and efficacy due to its weak solubility and slow release.

Design, optimization, and in vivo evaluation of invasome-mediated candesartan for the control of diabetes-associated atherosclerosis.

Atherosclerosis is an inflammatory disease characterized by the accumulation of arterial plaque. Diabetes mellitus stands out as a major risk factor for atherosclerosis. Candesartan is a potent angiotensin II receptor antagonist that enhances arterial blood flow and reduces insulin resistance.

Bilosomes as a promising nanoplatform for oral delivery of an alkaloid nutraceutical: improved pharmacokinetic profile and snowballed hypoglycemic effect in diabetic rats.

Diabetes mellitus is a life-threatening metabolic disease. At the moment, there is no effective treatment available to combat it. In this study, we aimed to develop berberine-loaded bilosomes (BER-BLS) to boost the oral bioavailability and therapeutic efficacy of berberine, a natural antidiabetic medication.

Perindopril ameliorates experimental Alzheimer's disease progression: role of amyloid β degradation, central estrogen receptor and hyperlipidemic-lipid raft signaling.

Accumulating evidence indicates that over-stimulation of angiotensin-converting enzyme 1 (ACE1) activity is associated with β-amyloid (Aβ) and phosphorylated tau (p-tau)-induced apoptosis, oxido-nitrosative neuroinflammatory stress and neurodegeneration in Alzheimer's disease (AD). Alternatively, activation of the ACE2, the metalloprotease neprilysin (Neutral Endopeptidase; NEP) and the insulin-degrading enzyme (IDE) could oppose the effects of ACE1 activation. We aim to investigate the relationship between ACE1/ACE2/NEP/IDE and amyloidogenic/hyperlipidemic-lipid raft signaling in hyperlipidemic AD model.

Role of curcumin in regulating p53 in breast cancer: an overview of the mechanism of action.

p53 is a tumor suppressor gene involved in various cellular mechanisms including DNA repair, apoptosis, and cell cycle arrest. More than 50% of human cancers have a mutated nonfunctional p53. Breast cancer (BC) is one of the main causes of cancer-related deaths among females.

Lung deposition and systemic bioavailability of different aerosol devices with and without humidification in mechanically ventilated patients.

Background: During mechanical ventilation medical aerosol delivery has been reported to be upto two fold greater with dry inhaled gas than with heated humidity. Urine levels at 0.5 h post dose (URSAL0.
