alleviates diabetic nephropathy in a rat model by attenuating glucose levels, oxidative stress, and inflammation with concomitant suppression of TGF-β1.

In this research, the treatment of diabetic nephropathy in rats induced by streptozotocin with whole-plant aqueous extract was examined, and the mechanism of action was proposed. Adult male rats were grouped into: control, , T1DM, and T1DM + -treated groups. For 8 weeks, S was given to rats at a final dose of 250 mg/kg.

Fenugreek Seed Galactomannan Aqueous and Extract Protects against Diabetic Nephropathy and Liver Damage by Targeting NF-κB and Keap1/Nrf2 Axis.

This investigation was conducted to test the potential of the galactomannan (F-GAL) and aqueous extract (FS-AE) of the Fenugreek seed aqueous to prevent liver and kidney damage extracts in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced T1DM in rats. Non-diabetic and diabetic rats received the normal saline as a vehicle or were treated with FS-EA or F-GAL at a final concentration of 500 mg/kg/each. Treatments with both drugs reduced fasting hyperglycemia and improved serum and hepatic lipid profiles in the control and diabetic rats.

The Potential of Exploiting Economical Solar Dryer in Food Preservation: Storability, Physicochemical Properties, and Antioxidant Capacity of Solar-Dried Tomato () Fruits.

This study investigated the effect of solar drying on storability and physiochemical and antioxidant capacities of dried tomatoes. Sliced fruit was dried at 45 ± 2 °C for 24 h under a solar tunnel dryer and stored at ambient temperature for 90 and 180 days. Solar drying treatments significantly ( < 0.
