Antinociceptive activity of Tribulus terrestris oral feeding in diabetic rats: Involvement of lipid peroxidation
Authors
Abstract:
Background and Objective: Due to the presence of some evidence for anti-diabetic and antioxidant activity of Tribulus terrestris (TT), this study was designed to investigate the anti-nociceptive effect of TT in streptozotocin-diabetic rats using formalin test and hot tail immersion tests. Materials and Methods: Rats were divided into control, TT-treated control, diabetic, sodium salicylate (SS)-treated diabetic (as positive control), and TT-treated diabetic groups. The treatment groups received oral administration of TT-mixed pelleted food (3%) for 5 weeks. Serum level of malondialdehyde (MDA) as a reliable marker of lipid peroxidation was also measured. Results: TT treatment of diabetic rats reduced pain score only in chronic phase of the formalin test (pConclusion: Taken together, 5-week administration of TT could attenuate nociceptive score in chronic phase of formalin test in streptozotocin-induced experimental model of diabetes mellitus and has no significant effect on thermal pain threshold and part of its beneficial effect is exerted via attenuation of lipid peroxidation and possibly reduction of oxidative stress.

Antinociceptive effect of black seed feeding in streptozotocin-diabetic rats
Abstract Introduction: Diabetic rats display exaggerated hyperalgesic behavior in response to noxious stimuli that may resemble and model aspects of painful diabetic neuropathy in humans. This study was designed to investigate the effect of Nigella sativum (NS) on formalin-induced nociceptive responses (standard formalin test) in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats. Methods: For this...

Background and Objective: Cardiovascular disorders continue to constitute major causes of morbidity and mortality in diabetic patients. In this study, the effect of chronic administration of Tribulus terrestris (TT) feeding was studied on aortic reactivity of streptozotocin (STZ)-diabetic rats and some underlying mechanisms were investigated. Materials and Methods: Male diabetic rats receive...
