This work was accomplished to assess the in-vitro antiglycation and antioxidant activities of ethanolic seeds extract of Centratherum anthelminticum (CSEt), followed by its in-vivo examination in type 2 diabetes. Overnight fasted rabbits were divided into control and diabetic groups. Rabbits in diabetic group were fed with 35% fructose solution to develop hyperglycemia that was well-monitored by glucometer. These were divided into diabetic control (distilled water 1ml/kg), positive control group (pioglitazone 15mg/kg) and two test groups (CSEt 400 and 600mg treated). All treatments were given orally. After 14 days, rabbits were sacrificed and blood samples were used to estimate glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) while total bilirubin (direct and indirect), uric acid, alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and creatine kinase (CK) were done in sera. In addition, antioxidant parameters viz., catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD), reduced glutathione (GSH) and lipid peroxidation (LPO) were in liver tissues. The in-vitro studies showed good antiglycation and antioxidant potential of CSEt. Similarly, in-vivo investigation showed significant reduction in glycemia and body weights in type 2 diabetic test groups. Plus values of HbA1c, ALT, CK, uric acid and bilirubin were almost back to normal along with improvement found in efficiency of antioxidant parameters.

(Aristolochiaceae), commonly known as the Brazilian Dutchman's pipe, is cultivated globally as an ornamental vine, admired for the unique shape of its large flowers. In our ongoing research into the chemical composition of , the ethanol extract from its seeds was fractionated using chromatographic techniques, resulting in the isolation and identification of allantoin, along with the lignans kobusin, eudesmin, and methylarctigenin. The fractions were further analysed by NMR and GC - EI/MS, employing a molecular networking approach and retention index comparison, which led to the annotation of four sterols, eleven aliphatic alcohols, one saturated fatty acid, two unsaturated fatty acids, ten esters of saturated fatty acids, ten esters of unsaturated fatty acids, and one lactone.

Background: Brachytherapy (BT) is routinely used in the treatment of various cancers. Current BT relies on the placement of large sources of radioactivity at the tumor site, requiring applicators that may cause local traumas and lesions. Further, they suffer from inflexibility in where they can be placed and some sources reside permanently in the body, causing potential long-term discomfort.

Little is known about the potential impact of point source contamination from seed treatment pesticide residues and degradation products in waste products in treated seed. The presence of these pesticides and their degradation products in the environment has been associated with toxic effects on non-target organisms including bees, aquatic organisms and humans. In this study, we investigated the occurrence of twenty-two pesticide residues and their degradation products in two streams receiving runoff from land-applied wet cake, applied and spilled wastewater originating at a biofuels production facility using pesticide-treated seed as a feedstock.

Diabetes Mellitus is a metabolic disorder characterized by high blood glucose levels, causing significant morbidity and mortality rates. This study investigated the antidiabetic, neuroprotective, and antioxidant effects of ethanol extracts of Parkia biglobosa (PB) leaves and seeds in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats. The administration of STZ significantly elevated fasting blood glucose levels (FBGL) to 355-400 mg/mL compared to 111 mg/mL in normal controls, indicating hyperglycemia.
