Parkinsonia aculeata aqueous extract fraction: Biochemical studies in alloxan-induced diabetic rats

Black tea extract improves anti-oxidant profile in experimental diabetic rats

“…Table 1 gives the values of plasma lipid profile, SGOT, SGPT, Creatinine and Urea in all groups of rats. The values representing group-dependent variations are in agreement with reported findings (Leite et al, 2007).…”

“…The BTE dose selected was according to Wei et al, (1999). Group V: The diabetic insulin group was treated twice a day by subcutaneous injection of three units of NPH insulin (NPH humi-insulin, Lilly Egypt) (Leite et al, 2007).…”

Luteolin ameliorates cardiac failure in type I diabetic cardiomyopathy

“…The elevated level of serum lipids in DM causes the risk of coronary heart disease (Leite et al, 2007). In acute studies, HDL is cardioprotective (Keul, Sattler, & Levkau, 2007).…”

Treatment with Parkinsonia aculeata combats insulin resistance-induced oxidative stress through the increase in PPARγ/CuZn-SOD axis expression in diet-induced obesity mice

“…The final yield of the hydroethanolic extract partitioned with ethyl acetate of P. aculeata aerial parts (HEPa/EtOAc) was 5.2/50 g of the dried powdered aerial parts. Based on three previous studies by our group [10,11,15], for pharmacological assays, a fresh dilution of lyophilized HEPa/EtOAc extract in vehicle (distilled water) was prepared on the day of treatment and administered by gavage at the doses of 125 and 250 mg/kg b.w. in a fixed volume of 0.2 mL.…”

“…It is traditionally described to treat fever, malaria, rheumatism [9], and hyperglycemia [10,11]. The use of natural antioxidants has been associated with reduced risks of diabetes, cancer, cardiovascular disease, and other illnesses associated with aging [12][13][14].…”
