One of the most common disorders of the endocrine system is diabetes mellitus. This disease is associated with dyslipidemia. Adiponectin is a protein hormone that secreted by adipocytes and has an important role in regulating of glucose and fatty acid metabolic pathways. This study was designed to investigate the changes in serum level of adiponectin in diabetic rats treated with hydroalcoholic...

In the present study, the application of a BP neural network for prediction of the moisture content of barberry fruit (berberis vulgaris) during drying was investigated. The important parameters namely, pretreatment (heat shocking, olive oil + K2CO3 and NAT), air drying temperature (60, 70 and 80oC), air drying velocity (0.3, 0.5 and 1 m/s) and time (s) were considered as the input parameters a...

Cardiovascular disorders are the leading cause of mortality worldwide. Berberis vulgaris (B. vulgaris) is a commonly used plant in traditional medicine. In recent studies, B. vulgaris showed antiarrhythmic, antihypertensive, anticholinergic, and cardioprotective effects. We reviewed the literature to explore the possible prophylactic and therapeutic roles of B. vulgaris in cardiovascular medici...

Berberine is an alkaloid found in plants such as goldenseal (Hydrastis Canadensis L.), European barberry or jaundice berry (Berberis vulgaris L.), and Chinese goldthread or Huanglian (Coptis chinensis Franch.). Goldenseal can be grown in Canada and natural health products derived from this plant have been found on consumer shelves. In this review, a UPLC-based analysis of berberine in a goldens...

conclusions this investigation revealed that berberis fruit extract has beneficial metabolic effects in patients with type ii diabetes. barberry may improve glucose catabolism via glycolysis pathway, stimulate insulin secretion or improve insulin function and finally decrease glucose uptake. our results indicated that berberis fruit regulates glucose metabolism in patients with type 2 diabetes....

background: tissue protective effect of compounds with antioxidant properties has been demonstrated. the alkaloids found in barberry root are considered as antioxidants. objective: according to barberry protective effects in different tissues, in this study, the protective effect of berberis integerrima bge. root )mebir) was evaluated against ccl4-induced testicular damages in wistar rats. mate...
