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

Abstract: Parkinsonia aculeata L. (Caesalpiniaceae) is a traditional ethnomedicine and has been used for the empiric treatment of hyperglycemia, without scientific background. Mechanistic analyses at molecular level from the antioxidant mechanism observed by P. aculeata are required. Herein the effects of the treatment by hydroethanolic extract partitioned with ethyl acetate of P. aculeata aerial parts (HEPa/EtOAc) in mice fed a high-fat diet that share many obesity phenotypes with humans were evaluated. The animals wer… Show more

“…Superoxide dismutase (SOD) [ 31 , 32 ], aspartate aminotransferase (AST) [ 33 ], alanine aminotransferase (ALT) [ 34 ], and glutathione (GSH) are associated with oxidative stress [ 35 ]. Here, serum levels of SOD, AST, ALT, and GSH were measured.…”

“…This allows PPARγ to increase the expression of this enzyme. The expression of CuZn-SOD is also increased after activation of PPARα [196199] and PPARγ [185, 198, 200]. Consequently, an increase in SOD activity is followed by a decrease in O 2 •− concentration, produced by NADPH oxidase.…”
