BACKGROUND Diabetic foot ulcers are serious complications for diabetic patients, yet the precise mechanism that underlines the treatment of these diabetic complications remains unclear. We hypothesized that dietary antioxidant supplementation with vitamin C, combined either with vitamin E or with vitamin E and NAC, improves delayed wound healing through modulation of blood glucose levels, oxida...

The potency of Solenostemma argel (asclepiadaceae) as anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects was investigated. Three solvent extract were used for extracting (polyphenolic, flavonoids and tannins) from the leaves of Solenostemma argel (S. argel). Three complementary antioxidant systems: (DPPH∙ free radical scavenging, Fe2+-chelating and iron reducing power) as well as the total phenolic, tot...

Objectives. Salvia fruticosa Mill. (S. fruticosa) is widely used in folk medicine. Accordingly, the present study was designed to evaluate the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities of S. fruticosa, and to determine the phenolic constituents of its extracts. Methods. The antioxidant activity was determined using 2,2-diphenylpicrylhydrazyl assay. Total phenolic contents were estimated usin...

Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) is a chronic, progressive parenchymal lung disease. The pathology is characterized by recurrent injury to microscopic alveolar epithelial cells. These injuries activate inflammatory cells, resulting in the proliferation of fibroblasts and alveolar tissue damage. Interstitial inflammation, advanced oxidative stress, and abnormal antioxidant activity were demon...

Coronavirus Disease-19 ( COVID-19) is a disease that started at the end of 2019 and continues to affect all world as pandemic. There no definitive cure for COVID-19 yet. The characterized by excessive immune activity, inflammation coagulopathy. Many agents have been tried treatment prevention. Flavonoids are valuable natural food components with antioxidant, anti-inflammatory anticoagulant prop...

Melatonin is a hormone that exhibits many bioactivities such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-carcinogenic, anti-diabetic, neuroprotective, and anti-aging activity. In addition, melatonin has been used to strengthen the effect of drugs or agents for treatment in different disease models cancer, tumor, bacterial infection, autoimmune diseases, gastrointestinal diseases. According recent s...

The goal for this work was to characterize basic biological properties of a novel Arthrospira platensis-based aqueous cyanophyta extract (ACE), enriched in the known anti-inflammatory cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitor phycocyanin (PC), but also containing a high level of non-PC bioactive compounds. Antioxidant properties were tested in parallel in the Folin-Ciocalteu assay (chemical antioxidan...

Dandelion (Taraxacum officinale), a member of the Asteraceae (Compositae) family, is well known as traditional medical plant. polysaccharides, natural active ingredient extracted from dandelion, possess immune regulation, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anti-aggregation properties. These properties suggest that dandelion polysaccharides might alleviate atherosclerosis. Using an ApoE−/− athe...

Background:  The development of nanotechnology has been a boon to mankind as its significance paved the way for several applications in therapeutics. This study was to evaluate the anti-arthritic capability of nano Selenium-lovastatin mixture (Lov-Se) against inflammatory cascade in arthritic irradiated rats. Materials and Methods: Animal model of Arthritis was organized by subcutaneous in...
