Article Synopsis
  • - The study explores the potential of etoricoxib-loaded nanostructured lipid carriers (Et-NLC) to protect the rat jejunum from radiation damage caused by gamma irradiation, a common issue in radiation therapy for cancer.
  • - Results indicated that Et-NLC treatment improved levels of key protective enzymes and reduced harmful inflammatory markers, suggesting it has anti-inflammatory effects and enhances cellular resilience against radiation-induced stress.
  • - Histological analysis confirmed that Et-NLC treatments effectively mitigated radiation damage, improving tissue health and vascularization compared to etoricoxib alone, highlighting its enhanced protective capabilities.

Purpose: The primary objective of this study was to conduct a comparative analysis of the anti-inflammatory activity between Etoricoxib (ETO) and Matcha green tea (MG) in the context of acute kidney injury (AKI) induced by ionizing gamma radiation (IR) in female rats. Furthermore, the potential impact of whole body IR exposure on the intestinal system and serum estradiol levels was investigated. Additionally, it was acknowledged that the ETO and MG treatments might have exerted favorable effects on the intestinal and hormonal responses.

The biogenic synthesis of nanoparticles has drawn significant attention. The spleen is the largest lymphatic organ that is adversely impacted during irradiation. The current study was designated to evaluate the possible anti-inflammatory effect of matcha-silver nanoparticles (M-AgNPs) to reduce inflammation associated with γ-radiation induced-oxidative stress and inflammation in rats' spleen.

The current investigation aimed to explore the potential of etoricoxib nanostructured lipid carriers (ET-NLCs) as an anti-inflammatory drug in radiation-exposed rats, with a focus on assessing its efficacy in reducing inflammation while minimizing cardiac toxicity compared to conventional etoricoxib (ET) treatment. The ET-NLCs were prepared by the low-temperature melt emulsification solidification technique. Various techniques were employed to characterize the NLCs.

Introduction: Obesity is a chronic metabolic disorder that results in excessive energy accumulated in adipose tissue causing dysfunction of adipocytes, inflammation, and oxidative stress. Diosgenin (DG), a steroidal saponin produced by several plants, has been reported to have antioxidant activity. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of diosgenin on oxidative stress and inflammation in mice fed with a high-fat diet (HFD).

Obesity is one of the most serious health problems in the world, increasing the risk of other chronic diseases. Alterations in fatty acid synthesis related genes are crucially involved in obesity progression. Diosgenin (DG) was one of the phytosterols compounds with vital activity against lipid disorders.
