Objectives: To evaluate the anti-hyperglycemic and anti-teratogenic capacity of resveratrol in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats.
Material And Methods: Experimental study. There were three groups, of five rats each; two groups were treated with a single dose of 50 mg/Kg of streptozotocin (STZ), in citrate buffer, at the 4th day of gestation, and the third group was considered the control, and were administered with citrate buffer only. One of the two STZ induced groups was administered with 100 mg/Kg resveratrol the days 8th to 12th, when neurulation occurs. Fetuses were obtained the 19th gestational day, and were subjected to morphologic analysis; and in fetal liver the activities of scavenging enzymes catalase, superoxide dismutase and gluthathione peroxidase were measured.
Results: Resveratrol can decrease the teratogenic effect of STZ-induced diabetes, and scavenging activities were beneficed by the administration of this antioxidant.
Conclusion: Resveratrol shown embryoprotective properties mediated by amelioration of oxidative stress produced by maternal hyperglycemia.

The widespread use of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) has increased blue light (BL) exposure, raising concerns about its potential adverse effects on ocular health. Prolonged exposure to BL has been implicated in the pathogenesis of various retinal disorders, including age-related macular degeneration (AMD), primarily through mechanisms involving oxidative stress and inflammation mediated by the overproduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS). This review synthesizes current evidence on the photoprotective properties of dietary bioactive compounds, (e.

The nutritional characteristics of the tetrasaccharide stachyose prompted its incorporation into biosurfactants through esterification with fatty acid derivatives embodying 12-22 carbon chains. The resulting esters were evaluated for their surface active effects, emulsifying properties and capacities to form emulsions capable of the selective delivery of the anti-oxidant resveratrol. While such studies have revealed that those congeners embodying longer side-chains have higher critical micelle concentrations (CMC) and lower interfacial tensions, their hydrophilic-lipophilic balance (HLB) values fell within a tight range.
