Background and Objective: Alleviation of serum glucose level and lipid profile in diabetic patients using herbal medications is of great importance. In the present study, the effect of oral consumption of olive leaves on serum glucose level and lipid profile was investigated. Materials and Methods: Male Wistar rats were divided into four groups including control, control under treatment, diabet...

Objective: Oxidative stress is a leading factor in the development of silver nanoparticle-induced toxicity. This study evaluated the effects of oral prescription of different doses of silver nanoparticles and propolis on lipid peroxidation in male Wistar rats. Materials and Methods: The male wistar rats were randomly divided into four groups. Control group and three different treatment groups ...

The goal of this study was to determine the extent of lipogenesis in the parasitoid Eupelmus vuilletti (Hymenoptera: Eupelmidae). Carbohydrate and lipid metabolism were followed in glucose-fed and starved females over 3 days. Fed females increased their glycogen level, while maintaining their lipid level. Starved females used most of their glycogen, while maintaining their lipid level too. Thus...

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of ethanolic extract of the whole plant of Phyllanthus rheedii wight P.rheedii as antihyperglycemic, antihyperlipidemic and antioxidant effect in streptozotocin (STZ) induced diabetic rats. Male Wistar rats were administered P.rheedii (250 mg/kg) orally for 21 days and blood glucose level was measured weekly. At the end of 21 days, the serum ...

iron is a pro-oxidant cofactor that may be linked to atherosclerosis progression. free iron catalyzes the generation of free radicals and free radicals promote the oxidation of lipids. reduction of body iron stores secondary to blood donation has been hypothesized to reduce lipid peroxidation. the aim of this study was to evaluate the association between blood donation and antioxidant enzymes a...

Objective Objectives: The present study was designed to evaluate the serum lipid profile and Tumor Necrosis Factor alpha (TNF-ɑ) level in diabetic rats at the time of implantation. Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) could affect various systems, including innate immune system and causes chronic low-grade inflammation which increases the level of TNF-ɑ. Furthermore, T2DM is often accompanied by imp...
