Mathurameha ameliorates cardiovascular complications in high-fat diet/low-dose streptozotocin-induced type 2 diabetic rats: insights from histological and proteomic analysis.

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a global health concern with increasing prevalence. Mathurameha, a Thai herbal formula, has shown promising glucose-lowering effects and positive impacts on biochemical profiles in diabetic rats. The present study investigated the protective effects of Mathurameha on cardiovascular complications in high-fat diet/streptozotocin (HFD/STZ)-induced type 2 diabetic rats using histological and proteomic analyses.

The Emergence of CTX-M-55 in Extended-Sectrum β-Lactamase-Producing Escherichia coli from Vegetables Sold in Local Markets of Northern Thailand.

Extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Escherichia coli is spreading worldwide and poses a public health issue. Assessing their presence in the environment and food chain products would elucidate the pathway of their foodborne transmission. Here, we investigated the prevalence of ESBL-producing E.

Effects of Orthosiphon grandiflorus, Hibiscus sabdariffa and Phyllanthus amarus extracts on risk factors for urinary calcium oxalate stones in rats.

Purpose: We evaluated the antilithic effect of Orthosiphon grandiflorus, Hibiscus sabdariffa and Phyllanthus amarus extracts on known risk factors for calcium oxalate stones in rats.

Materials And Methods: We divided 30 male Wistar rats into 5 equal groups. Controls were fed a standard diet and the remaining groups received a 3% glycolate diet for 4 weeks to induce hyperoxaluria.

Uricosuric effect of Roselle (Hibiscus sabdariffa) in normal and renal-stone former subjects.

Aim Of The Study: The Roselle (Hibiscus sabdariffa) was investigated for its uricosuric effect.

Materials And Methods: A human model with nine subjects with no history of renal stones (non-renal stone, NS) and nine with a history of renal stones (RS) was used in this study. A cup of tea made from 1.
