Introduction: Lippia alba (Mill) N.E. Brown (Verbenaceae) is an aromatic plant from Central America, South America, and the Caribbean, it is traditionally used by the Colombian population to treat various diseases such as diabetes and hypertension. The purpose of this research was to evaluate the metabolic effects of Lippia alba essential oil (EO) oral administration on obesity and diabetes markers in Wistar rats. Methods: control and Streptozotocin (STZ) diabetes induced rats were used to evaluate the EO metabolic effects. Glucose and triglycerides were measured using commercial colorimetric kits, the animals’ weight was followed for 21 days treatment and TNF- and adiponectin concentration was determined with ELISA technique. Results: The consumption of EO shows body weight gain regulation, lower glucose and cholesterol levels in normal rats and lower TNF- in comparison with the Glibenclamide treated rats between the STZ diabetic groups. No toxic effects were founded. Conclusions: The EO exerts a benefical metabolic effect in rats, therefore it is interesting to be evaluate a future in human beings with T2DM or overweight.
La educación superior busca la transformación social, económica y tecnológica del país al forjar habilidades para convertir a los estudiantes en ciudadanos empoderados que participen en la solución de problemas actuales, más aún en tiempos postpandemia. Para lograrlo, se requiere de herramientas que permitan un aprendizaje colaborativo. Es el caso de la educación basada en pódcast que ha sido interesante debido a su fácil uso, su accesibilidad desde cualquier dispositivo y la posibilidad de construir el conocimiento entre profesores y estudiantes. Por lo tanto, el objetivo fue implementar el pódcast de Ingeniería Química en el semestre 2021-1 como estrategia para fortalecer el proceso enseñanza- aprendizaje e interacción estudiante-docente en aula.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
