Biotin amelioration of nephrotoxicity in streptozotocin-induced diabetic mice

The current study was carried out to investigate the protective role of biotin in kidney injury and oxidative stress in diabetic mice type 1. Male Swiss albino mice were randomly divided into 3 groups. Control group received saline. Diabetes type 1 was induced in second and third groups by intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin as a single dose (150 mg/kg). Second group remained as the untreated diabetic group and the third group received 15 mg/kg daily oral dose of biotin for 12 successive days. Biochemical results showed significant elevation in blood glucose and urea levels in both diabetic groups. Also, there is an increase in glomerular areas and decrease in glomerular cellularity in both diabetic groups. Histopathological results showed severe alterations in the untreated diabetic group represented by distorted glomeruli, inflammatory cells, and giant macrophages. In addition, there was an intense immune-reaction response toward acrolein indicator of oxidative damage. Upon biotin administration of diabetic mice, the above mentioned histopathological changes were reduced and also acroline reaction of oxidative damage was diminished. Our findings prove that biotin has a protective role against streptozotocin-induced oxidative damage in kidneys of laboratory mice.

Choose 72 mice castrated completely random divided into 6 groups for the experiment, respectively: model group, gengnianan (GNA) capsule group, soybean isoflavone soft (SIS) capsule group, high, mid and low dose group of total flavonoids of raspberry (TFR). Animals in each group were given the corresponding drugs tenth days after operation, and were given intragastrical administration of once a day for continuous administration of 21 days. Each group of mice in the administration of 18 days to determine the number of autonomic activities within 5 min, in the administration of 19–20 days to determine the incubation of the mice first entry into the darkroom and the number of shocks into the darkroom within 5 min. At 2 h after the last administration (fasting for 12 h), mice were sacrificed and serum was collected. Serum levels of E2, T, LH and FSH were measured. Dissect the uterus, uterus, thymus and spleen. Weigh the wet weight and calculate the organ index, the morphological changes of uterus, thymus and spleen were observed. The results showed that the TFR had a good therapeutic effect on the perimenopausal model of mice after giving a high, mid and low dose of raspberry flavonoids for some time.     

Effect of total flavonoids of Radix Ilicis pubescentis on cerebral ischemia reperfusion model

This paper aims to observe the effects of total flavonoids of Radix Ilicis pubescentis on mouse model of cerebral ischemia reperfusion. Mice were orally given different doses of total flavonoids of Radix Ilicis pubescentis 10 d, and were administered once daily. On the tenth day after the administration of 1 h in mice after anesthesia, we used needle to hook the bilateral common carotid artery (CCA) for 10 min, with 10 min ischemia reperfusion, 10 min ischemia. Then we restored their blood supply, copy the model of cerebral ischemia reperfusion; We then had all mice reperfused for 24 h, and then took their orbital blood samples and measured blood rheology. We quickly removed the brain, with half of the brain having sagittal incision. Then we fixed the brains and sectioned them to observe the pathological changes of brain cells in the hippocampus and cortex. We also measured the other half sample which was made of brain homogenate of NO, NOS, Na⁺-K⁺-, ATP enzyme Mg²⁺-ATPase and Ca²⁺-ATPase. Acupuncture needle hook occlusion of bilateral common carotid arteries can successfully establish the model of cerebral ischemia reperfusion. After comparing with the model mice, we concluded that Ilex pubescens flavonoids not only reduce damage to the brain nerve cells in the hippocampus and cortex, but also significantly reduce the content of NO in brain homogenate, the activity of nitric oxide synthase (NOS) and increases ATP enzyme activity (P < 0.05, P < 0.01). In this way, cerebral ischemia reperfusion injury is improved. Different dosages of Ilex pubescens flavonoids on mouse cerebral ischemia reperfusion model have good effects.

The effect of calcitonin on food intake in diabetic mice

The characteristic hyperphagia of the genetically obese diabetic (C57B1/Ks-db+/db+) mouse (db/db) is thought to be due to a defect in the satiety circuitry with a secondary overproduction of a circulating satiety factor to which they are insensitive. Recent studies have suggested that calcitonin may be a potent hormonal mediator of the satiety reflex. In this study it was shown that db/db mice were eight fold more sensitive to calcitonin than their heterozygote littermate controls. Mice with streptozotocin-induced diabetes were ten-fold more sensitive to calcitonin than their littermate controls. These results show that diabetes increases the sensitivity to the satiety effects of calcitonin.

Effect of tangeretin,a polymethoxylated flavone on glucose metabolism in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats

The present study was designed to evaluate the antihyperglycemic potential of tangeretin on the activities of key enzymes of carbohydrate and glycogen metabolism in control and streptozotocin induced diabetic rats. The daily oral administration of tangeretin (100 mg/kg body weight) to diabetic rats for 30 days resulted in a significant reduction in the levels of plasma glucose, glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and increase in the levels of insulin and hemoglobin. The altered activities of the key enzymes of carbohydrate metabolism such as hexokinase, pyruvate kinase, lactate dehydrogenase, glucose-6-phosphatase, fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, glycogen synthase and glycogen phosphorylase in liver of diabetic rats were significantly reverted to near normal levels by the administration of tangeretin. Further, tangeretin administration to diabetic rats improved hepatic glycogen content suggesting the antihyperglycemic potential of tangeretin in diabetic rats. The effect produced by tangeretin on various parameters was comparable to that of glibenclamide – a standard oral hypoglycemic drug. Thus, these results show that tangeretin modulates the activities of hepatic enzymes via enhanced secretion of insulin and decreases the blood glucose in streptozotocin induced diabetic rats by its antioxidant potential.

Influences of crude extract of tea leaves,Camellia sinensis,on streptozotocin diabetic male albino mice

Natural remedies from medicinal plants are considered to be effective and safe alternative treatment for diabetes mellitus. The aim of the present study was to investigate the hypoglycemic activity of the crude tea leaves extract on streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic mice. The average body weight of animals with diabetes and their percentage changes of body weight gain after 15 and 30 days were significantly lower than that of the normal control mice. In diabetic mice, supplementation with tea leaves extract decreased the loss of body weight. After 15 and 30 days, significant increases in the levels of serum glucose, triglycerides, cholesterol, creatinine, urea, uric acid, glutamic pyruvic acid transaminase (GPT) and glutamic oxaloacetic acid transaminase (GOT) were noted in STZ-diabetic mice fed with normal diet. Also, the values of total protein in this group were statistically declined after 15 and 30 days. The levels of serum glucose and GPT were significantly elevated after 15 and 30 days in diabetic mice supplemented with tea leaves extract. Moreover, the level of serum GOT was notably increased after 30 days. Insignificant alterations were observed in the levels of serum triglycerides, cholesterol, total protein, creatinine, urea and uric acid in diabetic mice supplemented with tea leaves extract. Thus, the present results have shown that tea leaves extract has the antihyperglycemic, antihyperlipidemic, and antihyperproteinemic effects and consequently may alleviate liver and kidney damage associated with STZ-induced diabetes in mice.     

Effect of fungal polysaccharides on the modulation of plasma proteins in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats

To search out novel biomarkers for monitoring diabetes prognosis, we examined the effect of hypoglycemic fungal exopolysaccharides (EPS) on the differential levels of plasma proteins in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. The orally administrated EPS exhibited an excellent hypoglycemic effect, lowering the average plasma glucose level, and increasing insulin secretion in diabetic rats. The 2-DE analysis of rat plasma demonstrated that about 500 visualized spots were differentially regulated, of which 20 spots were identified as principal diabetes-associated proteins. The distinct effect of diabetes induction on the pattern of rat plasma proteins includes the down-regulation of albumin, apolipoprotein E (Apo E), alpha1-inhibitor-3, fetuin beta, Gc-globulin, hemopexin, vitronectin, and transthyretin (TTR) monomer, and the up-regulation of Apo A-I, Apo A-IV, ceruloplasmin, alpha1-antitrypsin, serine protease inhibitor III, and transferrin. Those protein levels were interestingly restored to those of healthy rats by EPS treatment, although the order of magnitude of the changes differed widely. Two proteins of interest showed distinct differential expression with opposite trends: TTR tetramer was significantly down-regulated and immunoglobulin (Ig) kappa light chain was significantly up-regulated upon diabetes induction, both of which were also normalized to those of healthy groups after EPS treatment.     

Ameliorative effect of kaempferol,a flavonoid,on oxidative stress in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats

Abstract

Objective

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the protective effect of kaempferol against oxidative stress in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats.

Methods

Diabetes was induced in male, adult albino rats of the Wistar strain, by intraperitoneal administration of STZ (40 mg/kg body weight (BW)). Kaempferol (100 mg/kg BW) or glibenclamide (600 µg/kg BW) was administered orally once daily for 45 days to normal and STZ-induced diabetic rats.

Results

The STZ-induced diabetic rats showed significantly increased levels of plasma glucose, thiobarbituric acid reactive substances, lipid hydroperoxides, and conjugated dienes in plasma, liver, kidney, and heart whereas they showed significantly decreased level of plasma insulin. The levels of non-enzymic antioxidants (vitamin C, vitamin E, reduced glutathione) in plasma, liver, kidney, and heart and the activities of enzymatic antioxidants (superoxide dismutase, catalase, glutathione peroxidase, and glutathione-S-transferase) in liver, kidney, and heart were significantly decreased in diabetic rats. Administration of kaempferol to diabetic rats was showed brought back in plasma glucose, insulin, lipid peroxidation products, enzymatic, and non-enzymatic antioxidants to near normal.

Conclusion

The present study indicates that kaempferol has a good antioxidant property, as evidenced by its increase of antioxidant status and decrease of lipid peroxidation markers, thus providing protection from the risks of diabetic complications.     

Effect of bis[curcumino]oxovanadium complex on non-diabetic and streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats

The effect of the vanadium complex bis[curcumino]oxovanadium (BCOV) on blood glucose level, serum lipid levels, blood pressure and vascular reactivity were studied in non-diabetic and streptozotocin-induced diabetic (STZ-diabetic) rats and compared to that of vanadyl sulfate. Blood glucose level, serum lipid levels, and blood pressure were significantly increased in STZ-diabetic rats. Vascular reactivity to various agonists such as noradrenaline and acetylcholine were significantly increased in STZ-diabetic rats. Blood glucose and serum lipid levels were restored to normal in STZ-diabetic animals treated with vanadyl sulfate at a concentration of 0.5 mmol/kg/day (p.o.). However, vanadyl sulfate at a concentration of 0.2 mmol/kg/day (p.o.) did not produce any significant change in blood glucose and lipid levels. There was no significant effect of vanadyl sulfate (0.2 or 0.5 mmol/kg/day) treatment on blood pressure and vascular reactivity in STZ-diabetic rats. Vanadyl sulfate significantly reduced the body weight of non-diabetic and STZ-diabetic rats. Moreover, it also caused severe diarrhea in both groups of animals. Treatment with BCOV (0.05, 0.1 and 0.2mmol/kg/day, p.o.) significantly decreased blood glucose level and serum lipids in STZ-diabetic rats. Furthermore, administration of BCOV to STZ-diabetic rats restored the blood pressure and vascular reactivity to agonists to normal. There was no significant change in the body weight of BCOV treated non-diabetic and STZ-diabetic rats. Diarrhea was not observed in both BCOV treated groups. In conclusion, the present study shows that the vanadium complex BCOV has antidiabetic and hypolipedimic effects. In addition, it improves the cardiovascular complications associated with diabetes.     

遮阴对浙江三叶青生理生化及总黄酮的影响

为探究抗癌药物浙江三叶青在不同遮阴处理下其有效成分总黄酮含量及生理生化响应,该研究设置5个光照梯度(全光照CK、遮阴30%、50%、70%、90%),以三叶青二年生扦插苗为材料,处理6个月后,测定三叶青在不同遮阴梯度条件下的生长指标、生化指标以及不同部位(叶片和块根)的总黄酮含量。结果表明:遮阴70%的处理中植株长势最佳,随着光照强度的减弱,三叶青生物量呈现先增高后降低趋势;比叶重呈降低趋势;叶片中的可溶性蛋白(SP)、游离脯氨酸(FP)和超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)含量均在全光照下最高,遮阴70%时最低,分别比全光照降低了33.36%、17.22%、46.88%,表现出光胁迫特点;总黄酮含量为叶片块根,且均以遮阴70%下含量最高,从整体来看,总黄酮含量随着遮阴度的增大而呈现先增加后降低的趋势。这表明光照强度是影响浙江三叶青生长及有效成分积累的重要因素,且高光强在一定程度上抑制三叶青植株的生长,适当遮阴对三叶青植株的生长起促进作用,但块根和叶片中的总黄酮含量对光强的响应却不同,这为今后科学栽培种植及合理有效开发三叶青提供了科学依据。
