Immunomodulatory and antibacterial effect of red wine concentrate rich in a natural complex of polyphenols under diabetes mellitus.

Changes in immunocompetent cells influence the course of diabetes mellitus and contribute to its complications. Thus, correction of diabetes-induced immune system disorders is vital for normalizing the state of the organism. Red wine polyphenols due to their biological activities could be considered a potential remedy for correcting diabetes.

Anti-Diabetic and Antioxidant Activities of Red Wine Concentrate Enriched with Polyphenol Compounds under Experimental Diabetes in Rats.

We obtained red wine concentrate, which was enriched with natural polyphenolic compounds (PC concentrate). The main purpose was to study the hypoglycemic and antioxidant effects of the red wine concentrate, and its impact on key hematological parameters of rats with experimental diabetes mellitus. While administrating the red wine concentrate to rats with diabetes, partial recovering of glucose tolerance was promoted, as well as normalization of glycated hemoglobin level, an increase in the quantity of erythrocytes and hemoglobin concentration.

Medicinal Plants L. and Yacon Leaves as Potential Sources of Antidiabetic Drugs.

Tyrosine nitration as a key event of signal transduction that regulates functional state of the cell.

This review is dedicated to the role of nitration of proteins by tyrosine residues in physiological and pathological conditions. First of all, we analyze the biochemical evidence of peroxynitrite formation and reactions that lead to its formation, types of posttranslational modifications (PTMs) induced by reactive nitrogen species, as well as three biological pathways of tyrosine nitration. Then, we describe two possible mechanisms of protein nitration that are involved in intracellular signal transduction, as well as its interconnection with phosphorylation/dephosphorylation of tyrosine.

Galega officinalis extract regulate the diabetes mellitus related violations of proliferation, functions and apoptosis of leukocytes.

Background: An impaired leukocytes function is the factor causing the susceptibility of patients with diabetes mellitus to infections. The outmost importance for the understanding of the immunological processes involved in diabetes pathogenesis is to give the characteritics of the immunological profile and changes therein, during the course of desease. Long-used in folk medicine to treat diabetes Galega officinalis L.
