Objectives: Diabetes can gradually cause damage to the function and structure of male gonads. This survey was conducted to investigate the effect of troxerutin on hormonal changes, serum oxidative stress indices, and testicular function and structure in prepubertal diabetic rats.
Materials And Methods: Fifty prepubertal (6 weeks old) male Wistar rats were divided into five groups including Control, Troxerutin, Diabetic, Diabetic+Troxerutin, and Diabetic+Insulin. Type I diabetes was induced by 55 mg/kg of streptozotocin intraperitoneally. The groups were treated with 150 mg/kg/day troxerutin via oral gavage or 4-6 IU/day insulin via subcutaneous injection for 4 consecutive weeks. Blood sugar (BS) and serum levels of insulin, FSH, LH, testosterone, glutathione peroxidase (GPX), superoxide dismutase (SOD), malondialdehyde (MDA), and total antioxidant capacity (TAC) were analyzed. Testis and epididymis were removed for histopathologic study and analysis of sperm parameters.
Results: Troxerutin significantly reduced the BS in the diabetic group similar to insulin but could not affect insulin, FSH, or LH significantly. Troxerutin caused a significant increase in testosterone and GPX but had no significant effect on serum MDA, TAC, and SOD levels. In addition, troxerutin had a better effect than insulin on diabetes-induced testicular structural damage. Sperm analysis results also revealed that troxerutin and insulin could improve sperm number, motility, and viability in diabetic rats.
Conclusion: According to these results, it can be derived that administration of troxerutin is a suitable protective strategy for side effects of diabetes in testis of prepubertal diabetic male rats.

The present study was designed to evaluate the protective efficacy of troxerutin against cypermethrin-induced behavioral defects, motor function abnormalities, and oxidative stress in mice. Twenty-four adult female albino mice were randomly divided into four equal groups. The first group served as control, the second group was treated with cypermethrin (20 mg/kg b.

Article Synopsis
- 2-Phenylbenzimidazole-5-sulfonic acid (PBSA) and disodium phenyl dibenzimidazole tetrasulfonate (DPDT) are UV sunscreen filters that can release harmful high-energy photons, necessitating the use of fluorescence quenchers in formulations.
- Troxerutin is evaluated as a fluorescence quencher for both PBSA and DPDT, with experiments conducted on both solutions and a human skin mimic to benchmark their photodynamics.
- The study reveals that adding troxerutin significantly reduces the fluorescence lifetime of PBSA and DPDT, indicating that it quenches fluorescence via Dexter energy transfer (DET) or Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) mechanisms.

Electronic address:
The present study aimed to associate troxerutin (TRX) with polysaccharides from Agaricus blazei Murill mushroom (PolyAb) in alginate/PVA films and evaluate their effect on wound healing. The physicochemical, mechanical, morphological, and water vapor barrier properties of the films were studied, and their biological potential was analyzed in vivo using the full-thickness wound healing model. The association between TRX and PolyAb present in the polymeric film contributed to increased thermal stability, mechanical resistance, and elasticity when compared to films without TRX, which indicated good miscibility of the excipients.

Article Synopsis
- Gastric ulcers can occur as a side effect of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) due to free radicals, leading researchers to investigate troxerutin, known for its antioxidant properties, as a potential preventive measure.
- A study with twenty-nine rats tested the effects of troxerutin and misoprostol against the gastric ulcers induced by ketorolac, measuring ulcer severity and oxidative stress markers.
- The results indicated that both troxerutin and misoprostol reduced ulcer severity and oxidative stress, suggesting that troxerutin may be effective in preventing NSAID-induced gastric ulcers.

Backgrounds: With the increasing demand for beauty and a healthy lifespan, studies regarding anti-skin aging have drawn much more attention than ever before. Skin cellular senescence, the primary cause of skin aging, is characterized by a cell cycle arrest in proliferating cells along with a senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP), which can be triggered by various internal or external stimuli.
Aims: Recent studies have made significant progress in the fields of anti-senescence and anti-aging.
