Exposure to aluminium is associated with oxidative damage, primarily due to its ability to disrupt redox balance, generate reactive oxygen species, and impair antioxidant defense mechanisms.This study was aimed to find the potential role of ashwagandha on aluminium induced brain toxicity. &lt;strong&gt;Methods: &lt;/strong&gt;In the present study rats were grouped into 4 groups of 6 rats in each. Brain tissue was removed and processed for biochemical and histopathological analysis. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; In the present study, administration of aluminium to rats resulted in a significant decrease in tissue GSH levels and a corresponding increase in MDA levels in the aluminium-treated group compared to the normal control.. Treatment with Ashwagandha showed a significant increase in GSH level and decrease in MDA level. Photomicrographic sections of the Brain in Ashwagandha-treated rats showed normla neuronal Count and exposure to Aluminium has caused significant reduction in the neuronal count. Experimental group pretreated with ashwagandha showed a visible increase in neuronal count in different regions of the rat brain.&lt;strong&gt; Conclusion: &lt;/strong&gt;The results revealed that oral administration of aluminium induced adverse oxidative effects in the exposed animals, while treatment with Ashwagandha markedly reduced the extent of aluminium chloride-induced brain injury.&lt;/p&gt;

The tubers of this plant are consumed by local tribes in northern Kerala during times of famine, and they are believed to enhance bone and muscle strength. Furthermore, it is incorporated with other ingredients in their traditional postnatal rejuvenation preparations. However, this plant which is infrequently examined for its biochemical impacts on humans. This research aimed to identify the phytochemicals present in the tuber and leaf of &lt;em&gt;Dioscorea transversa&lt;/em&gt; and to assess solvent extracts for their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. The leaf sample demonstrated a notable concentration of phenolic compounds, tannins, flavonoids, and terpenoids, while the tuber was rich in saponins, proteins, and steroids. It was noted that the aqueous methanolic extract of the leaves (AqML) exhibited superior antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity in comparison to the other five extracts explored. This study underscores &lt;em&gt;D. transversa&lt;/em&gt; as a significant source of natural bioactive compounds and advocates for further research to delve deeper into the pharmacological potential of this plant&lt;/p&gt;

This study aimed to evaluate the synergistic effects of combined zinc and vitamin E (α-tocopherol) supplementation on inflammatory and biochemical parameters in&lt;em&gt; Staphylococcus aureus&lt;/em&gt;-induced sepsis in male Wistar rats. Thirty rats were divided into six groups: (1) normal control, (2) Placebo control (sepsis without therapy), (3) positive control (levofloxacin 45 mg/kg BW + zinc 0.9 mg/kg BW + vitamin E 250 mg/kg BW), and (4–6) treatment groups receiving combined zinc (0.9, 1.8, and 2.7 mg/kg BW) with vitamin E (250 mg/kg BW). Sepsis was induced intraperitoneally, followed by treatment according to group. On day 9, serum levels of TNF-α, IL-6, CRP, AST, ALT, urea, creatinine, and albumin were analyzed, while lung and kidney, were examined histologically. The combination of zinc and vitamin E significantly decreased TNF-α, IL-6, and CRP levels while improving biochemical parameters and increasing serum albumin compared to the untreated group (p ≤ 0.05). The highest efficacy was observed with zinc 2.7 mg/kg BW and vitamin E 250 mg/kg BW, which showed over 50% reduction in tissue damage, reduced inflammatory cell infiltration and interstitial hemorrhage in lung tissue, and improved hepatic cellular regeneration. These findings suggest that zinc and vitamin E exert synergistic anti-inflammatory and antioxidative effects, indicating their potential as adjuvant therapy in sepsis management.&lt;/p&gt;

This provokes oxidative damage to the cellular membranes of organs that accumulate excess iron. Several researchers studied the oxidative stress in patients with thalassemia during chelation therapy and repeated blood transfusion periods, and they found that β-thalassemia patients are under oxidative stress, but they did not focus on before the chelating therapy period. &lt;strong&gt;Objective: &lt;/strong&gt;To evaluate the total antioxidant capacity (TAOC) and oxidative stress (OS) in newly diagnosed patients with β-thalassemia before chelating therapy. &lt;strong&gt;Methodology:&lt;/strong&gt; In the present case-control study, twenty patients newly diagnosed with β-thalassemia before receiving chelating agents, and another 30 healthy individuals, sex-matched with patients, considered as a control, were included in the study. Total antioxidant capacity (TAOC) and Malondialdehyde (MDA) were assessed in the studied groups.&lt;strong&gt; Results: &lt;/strong&gt;The TAOC values of the thalassemic group (35±0.11 u/ml ) were significantly (p&amp;lt;0.001) lower than that of the control group (79±7.2 u/ml). MDA values of the thalassemic group (7.9 ±2.35nmol/l) were significantly (p&amp;lt;0.001) more than that of the control group (0.57±0.25 nmol/l). &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; The present study demonstrated that patients with β thalassemia have decreased values of TAOC, and increased values of MDA when compared with the control group.&lt;/p&gt;

Monosodium iodoacetate (3.0 mg) was injected intra-articularly into the knee joint to cause osteoarthritis. For four weeks, oral administration of rutinoside at 100 mg/kg/day was given to the groups that were given the treatment. Histological examination, immunohistochemistry, and biochemical tests were used to assess the level of articular cartilage injury, oxidative damage, catabolic activity, and biomarker expression. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; The results showed that treatments with rutinoside significantly reduced the damage to articular cartilage in rats with MIA-induced osteoarthritis. Compared to the osteoarthritis group, the rutinoside-treated groups showed enhanced cartilage structure, proteoglycan content, and chondrocyte organization. Immunohistochemistry revealed reduced NFκB, IL-1β, and MMP-13 expressions in the rutinosidetreated groups, indicating suppressed inflammatory and catabolic activity in chondrocytes. Additionally, rutinoside treatment increased SOD activity and decreased MDA levels, which showed less oxidative damage to the joint. A substantial drop in CTX-II levels was found by biochemical research, indicating less type II collagen breakdown. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion: &lt;/strong&gt;According to a study, rutinoside effectively reduces oxidative damage and catabolic activity in chondrocytes, which can lead to decreased articular cartilage loss in a rat model of MIA-induced osteoarthritis. The study also found that rutinoside can control critical biomarkers such as NFκB, IL-1β, SOD, MDA, MMP-13, and CTX-II, highlighting its potential as a treatment for osteoarthritis. These findings provide valuable insights into using natural chemicals as a promising treatment for OA and suggest that rutinoside could potentially modulate the critical interplay between oxidative stress, inflammation, and chondrocyte catabolism in osteoarthritis. However, further research is required to understand the underlying molecular mechanisms and evaluate rutinoside's translational potential for OA therapy.&lt;/p&gt;

Therefore, additional supplementation is needed since the preconception period to prevent oxidative stress and poor pregnancy outcomes. This study aims to examine the effect of supplementing Moringa leaf extract on the prevention of oxidative stress in pregnant women and poor pregnancy outcomes. &lt;strong&gt;Methods: &lt;/strong&gt;This study is an observational study with a prospective cohort study design. The research subjects were third trimester pregnant women consisting of 2 groups, namely the control group who only received Iron-Folic Acid (IFA) supplements (n = 30) and the group that received moringa leaf extract and IFA supplements (n = 26). Then an examination of Malondialdehyde (MDA) levels as a biomarker of oxidative stress was carried out using the ELISA (enzyme-link immune sorbent) method, followed by pregnancy outcomes including birth weight and birth length. Data were analyzed by unpaired t test. &lt;strong&gt;Results: &lt;/strong&gt;The results showed that there were no significant differences in the levels of MDA, birth weight and birth length in the two groups with a p value &amp;gt; 0.05. Nevertheless, MDA level in IFA group was 49.25 nmol/ml higher than Moringa + IFA group which was 47.58 nmol/ml. Likewise, the average of birth weight and birth length in Moringa group were 3042.3 grams and 48.62 cm higher than IFA group which were 2993.7 grams and 48.23 cm. Malondialdehyde levels were also higher in women who had babies with birth weight &amp;lt; 2500 grams was 49.48 nmol/ml and birth length &amp;lt; 48 cm was 49.13 nmol/l compared to birth weight ≥ 2500 grams was 48.50 nmol/ml and birth length ≥ 48 cm was 48.62 nmol/ml but there was no significant difference in the two groups (p&amp;gt;0.05). &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; Oxidative stress in pregnant women tends to be associated with poor pregnancy outcomes. Moringa leaf extract supplementation since preconception can prevent increased oxidative stress and improve pregnancy outcomes.&lt;/p&gt;

Vitamin D has a function in reducing oxidative stress levels through several mechanisms, which can be revealed by analyzing several biomarkers to determine the role of vitamin D on lung function and the quality of life of stable COPD patients. &lt;strong&gt;Methods: &lt;/strong&gt;The subjects included GOLD 2 and 3 stable COPD patients who had 25(OH)D levels of &amp;lt; 32 ng/ml and were receiving bronchodilator Indacaterol maleate therapy. The biomarkers examined included Nrf2, HDAC2, MDA, MMP-9, pulmonary function tests 6MWT, and QOL. The patients in the control and treatment groups were administered with vitamin D at a dose of 1,000 and 5,000 IU, respectively, for three months.&lt;strong&gt; Results:&lt;/strong&gt; The administration of vitamin D to the patients in the control and treatment groups can significantly reduce oxidative stress, as evidenced by reduced MDA (p-value &amp;lt; 0.01) and MMP-9 levels (p-value &amp;lt; 0.01). Vitamin D affects exercise tolerance, as evidenced by 6MWT (p-value = 0.01). Vitamin D affects the quality of life, as evidenced by 6MWT (p-value = 0.01). Vitamin D affects Nrf2 levels (p-value = 0.08) and HDAC2 (p-value = 0.01). &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion: &lt;/strong&gt;The pathway analysis through the study of the Nrf2, HDAC2, MMP-9, and MDA levels does not prove that vitamin D can prevent decreased lung function and quality of life in patients with stable COPD.&lt;/p&gt;

Chronic smoking can induce oxidative stress and inflammatory status and induce dangerous diseases such as hypertension and lung cancer. Standardized counseling is an important process in a routine program for smoking cessation. Withdrawal symptoms from smoking cessation are a significant barrier to a successful result, and they can be relieved by relaxed deep-breathing exercise. At present, the Thai herb, &lt;em&gt;Vernonia cinerea &lt;/em&gt;(VC), has been claimed to reduce cigarette smoking because of its antioxidant compounds and nicotine that are modified and used as lozenges, gum, and hard candy. However, its efficacy in smoking cessation has not been confirmed. Furthermore, the efficacy of relaxed deep-breathing (rDB) during the chest mobilization exercise (CME) with VC hard candy on smoking cessation and oxidative stress is unclear. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the combined effects of rDB/CME and VC-hard candy on smoking cessation and oxidative stress status in active teenage smokers. &lt;strong&gt;Methods&lt;/strong&gt;: Hard candy with honey and VC powder from whole mixed parts of the stem, flowers and leaves was developed industrially under the spray dry technique. Thirty active smokers were randomized into three groups; product group (rDB/CME+ product) (aged 25.0 ± 3.0 years, n = 10), placebo group (rDB/CME + placebo) (aged 26.9 ± 3.7 years, n = 10), and a control group with no product or placebo administered (aged 25.6 ± 2.7 years, n=10). All of the groups received consultation on specific smoking cessation and two weeks of strict observation, which was followed up for 8 weeks. The 7-day point prevalence abstinence rates (7-day PAR) and continuous abstinence rate (CAR) were reported at week 2, 4, 6 and 8. In addition, the oxidative stress status with lipid peroxide and glutathione (GSH) in blood was evaluated before the program and after 2 weeks. &lt;strong&gt;Results: &lt;/strong&gt;The results of 7-day PARs in the control group showed no statistical changes at week 2 (0%), 4 (10%), 6 (20%) and 8 (20%), which was the same in the rDB/CME + placebo group (10%, 20%, 30% and 40%, respectively). Whereas, a significant difference was presented in the rDB/CME+ product group (20%, 60%, 80% and 90% respectively). When comparing between the groups, 7-day PARs at week 2 was not statistically different, but it was in the follow-up period at week 4, 6 and 8. There was no statistical difference at week 4 between the three groups, but there was between the rDB/CME+ product, control and rDB/CME+ placebo groups at week 6 and 8. The results of CAR showed no statistical difference between the control and rDB/CWE+ placebo group in any of the periods. Whereas the rDB/CWE+ product group showed a significant difference after week 4. The CAR was statistically different between the groups after week 6 and 8. At week 6, the CAR of the rDB/CWE+ product group was different to the control group. There was no difference between the control and rDB/CWE+ placebo groups, or between the rDB/CWE+ product and placebo groups. At week 8, the CAR of the rDB/CWE+ product group was different from that of the control, but not from the rDB/CWE+ placebo group. Finally, the GSH level increased significantly in the rDB/CWE + product group when compared to the rDB/CWE+placebo group. Moreover, malondialdehyde (MDA) levels decreased significantly in both the placebo and product groups. In addition, MDA levels showed a significant difference between baseline and after 2 weeks in the rDB/CWE + placebo and product groups&lt;strong&gt;. Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; Integrating relaxed-deep breathing with chest mobilization exercise and VC hard candy for 2 weeks can help smoking cessation during consultation, and possibly reduce oxidative stress status among active teenage smokers.&lt;/p&gt;

Doxorubicin (Dox) is a chemotherapeutic drug that can produce oxidative stress which may require prevention by antioxidants. Aim: The study aimed to investigate the gender-dependent changes in Dox-induced oxidative stress, and the protective effects of coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10).&lt;strong&gt; Materials and Methods&lt;/strong&gt;: Rats were administered CoQ10 orally for 17 days. On day 13, some rats receiving CoQ10 received a single intraperitoneal dosage of Dox, whereas other rats received normal saline. Glutathione (GSH), malondialdehyde (MDA), and total anti-oxidant capacity (T-AOC) were measured in both genders of albino rats. &lt;strong&gt;Results&lt;/strong&gt;: Dox significantly reduced both GSH and T-AOC levels and caused a significant increase in MDA. The administration of CoQ10 significantly prevented these changes. Dox caused a larger reduction in GSH in males than in females, while CoQ10 caused more protection in females. Dox caused a higher increase in MDA levels in males.&lt;strong&gt; Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; Pre-treatments with CoQ10 may protect against Dox-induced oxidative stress, with gender-dependent variations in the extent of these Dox/CoQ10 effects.&lt;/p&gt;

Antioxidant capacity was evaluated in 50%, 70%, 96% and aqueous ethanolic extracts by 2,2-Diphenyl-1-Picrylhydrazyl reduction, malondialdehyde inhibition in oxidized erythrocytes with H&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt;O&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt; and correlating with polyphenol content equivalent to gallic acid/gram dry extract. Inflammation was evaluated by inoculating carrageenan 2% in &quot;subcutaneous air bag&quot; of mice: 1) White, 2) carrageenan, 3) dexamethasone 2 mg/kg, 4-6) ethanolic extract 70% doses 100, 250 and 500 mg/kg respectively; determining nitric oxide, malondialdehyde, total proteins, albumin, leukocytes in exudate and histological changes. &lt;strong&gt;Results: &lt;/strong&gt;Alkaloids, flavonoids, terpenes, phenolic compounds, tannins, carbohydrates, triterpenes, steroids and sesquiterpene lactones were identified; aqueous extract presented greater reduction of 2,2-Diphenyl-1-Picrylhydrazyl (CI50 = 58.99 μg/mL), ethanolic extract 70% presented greater inhibition of malondialdehyde in erythrocytes (CI50 = 16.44 nm/mL); It was observed that the higher the amount of polyphenols, the greater the reduction of 2,2-Diphenyl-1-Picrylhydrazyl (r=-0.909) and the greater the inhibition of malondialdehyde (r=-0.781). With 500 mg/kg of 70% ethanolic extract there was greater anti-inflammatory effect inhibiting malondialdehyde, nitric oxide, albumin, total proteins and leukocytes in 55.55%, 81.92%, 41.20%, 31.51% and 32.45% (p&amp;lt;0.01) respectively and less infiltration of leukocytes and lymphocytes in air sac membrane. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion: &lt;/strong&gt;The extracts of aerial parts of &lt;em&gt;Chuquiraga spinosa&lt;/em&gt; showed antioxidant capacity correlated to polyphenol content. The 70% ethanolic extract prevented inflammation in mice in a dosedependent manner.&lt;/p&gt;

It is the reason behind the generation of several diseases. Free radicals if generated in excess amount can damage the body to a great extent. Finding newer and potent medicinal plants that can fight oxidative stress can be useful in combating the harmful effects of free radicals. &lt;strong&gt;Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; In the current study ethanolic extract of &lt;em&gt;Ocimum kilimandscharicum&lt;/em&gt;,&lt;em&gt; Thymus serpyllum, Spilanthes acmella&lt;/em&gt; and their combination in equal ratio were used for their ability to counter oxidative stress. The plants were collected from the district of Pithoragarh, Uttarakhand and extracted by soxhlet’s apparataus using absolute ethanol (99.9%). The extracts were then dried and used for the study. &lt;strong&gt;Result:&lt;/strong&gt; It was seen that highest absorbance was shown by ascorbic acid at the lowest as well as the highest concentration in the reducing power assay. Also, the combination of the extracts showed the highest absorbance among all the extracts at both the lowest and highest concentration.&lt;strong&gt; Conclusion: &lt;/strong&gt;A higher absorbance indicates a better antioxidant potential. The best effect was shown by the combined extract among all the extracts.&lt;/p&gt;

Don belongs to the family Apocynaceae and has several therapeutic applications in traditional medicine. This plant has various pharmacological properties such as antihelmintic, antidiuretic and antidiabetic. One of the major concerns, as they are used, is the lack of adequate pharmacological and toxicological data to support their uses. &lt;strong&gt;Objective:&lt;/strong&gt; The present investigation was carried out to evaluate the safety of an ethanolic extract of &lt;em&gt;Holarrhena pubescens &lt;/em&gt;Wall.ex.G.Don (Apocynaceae) by determining its potential toxicity after oral administration for 28 days.&lt;strong&gt; Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; In sub-acute toxicity, the extract at the doses of 250, 500 and 1000mg/kg, bw was administered orally for 28 days. After 28 days of treatment, the mice were decapitated; brain was homogenized for evaluating oxidative stress. The brain was fixed in 10 % formalin and processed for histopathological examinations. Phytochemical analysis of the plant extract was performed by (GC-MS). &lt;strong&gt;Result:&lt;/strong&gt; In the sub-acute study in mice, daily oral administration of HP resulted in a significant increase in the lipid peroxidation of treated animals and a decrease in enzymes activity of CAT, SOD, GPX and GR in both, males and females mice. Histopathological analysis showed alterations in the mice brain cortex. From the GC-MS analysis of the plant extract, it was evident that major phytochemicals were present in the ethanol extract of HP. Some major phytochemicals namely, conessimine (17.81 %); lup-20(29)-en-3-one (16.50%); piperidine, 2-(tetrahydro-2-furanyl)-(6.44%); lup-20(29)-ene-3, 28-diol, (3.beta.) (4.82%) and 17- (1, 5-dimethyl-3-phenylsulfanyl-hex-4-enyl (4.37%) were found. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;em&gt;H.pubsecne&lt;/em&gt; bark ethanol extract was found to be relatively safe in lower doses although at higher doses it can cause lipid peroxidation and damage to the neuronal cell of the brain and should therefore be used with caution.&lt;/p&gt;

However, post-transplantation survival of AMSCs is relatively low due to lethal cellular hypoxia. Hypoxic preconditioning is a sublethal hypoxia condition which may improve AMSCs survival. This research evaluates the effect of hypoxic preconditioning on the expression of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) of AMSCs. Isolated human AMSCs was cultured to the 4&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; passage and confirmed with CD45, CD90 and CD105 expression. Cells were divided into control group (normoxia with 21% O&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt;) and hypoxic preconditioning group (with 1% O&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt;). ROS and SOD were evaluated using immunofluorescence and analyzed using SPSS 25. AMSCs was characterized by the CD105 and CD90 without expression of CD44 and CD45. ROS expression is significantly lower in hypoxia group than in controlled group (253,13 ± 67,795 vs 342,13 ± 116,447; p &amp;lt; 0.05) and SOD expression is significantly higher in hypoxia group than in controlled group (340,25 ± 96,476 vs 234,56 ± 38,238; p &amp;lt;0.05). In conclusion, hypoxic preconditioning in human AMSCs induce lower expression of intracellular ROS and higher expression of intracellular SOD.&lt;/p&gt;

However, the plant has not been explored much. In the present scenario of drug resistance and toxicity associated with available drugs, there is a need for elaborated studies of plants like &lt;em&gt;Paronychia argeneta&lt;/em&gt; which had been used as folk medicines. &lt;strong&gt;Aim and Objectives:&lt;/strong&gt; The present article is focused on reviewing the ethnopharmacology, phytochemistry, traditional usage, biological activities, of &lt;em&gt;Paronychia argentea&lt;/em&gt; which has been used in traditional medicinal system for ages. The aim of the study was to assess the ethnopharmacological usage of this plant and to explore therapeutic potentials and future opportunities for research. &lt;strong&gt;Materials and Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; Information on the traditional usage and studies of the &lt;em&gt;Paronychia argentea&lt;/em&gt; was gathered from from various journals, MSc dissertation, conference abstract, local books. Various search engines including Google Scholar, Baidu Scholar, Elsevier, ACS, Pubmed, Web of Science, CNKI and EMBASE were used to collect the information along with libraries. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;em&gt;Paronychia argentea&lt;/em&gt; has played an important role in traditional medicines in Algeria, Portugal, Israel and Jordan. The aerial parts of this plant are used as diuretics in Algerian traditional medicines and are used as antiurolithiasis. Leaf decoction of this plant is also used as diuretic. &lt;em&gt;Paronychia argentea&lt;/em&gt; has been used as analgesic, treatment of stomach ulcer, anorexia, and flatulence in Portugal. Scientific studies on extracts of &lt;em&gt;Paronychia&lt;/em&gt; revealed a wide range of pharmacological activities including anti-microbial activity, anti-oxidant, nephroprotective activity. Moreover, few reports have given contradictory data for usage of &lt;em&gt;Paronychia &lt;/em&gt;when compared with its traditional usage. As in the case of alpha-amylase inhibitory efficacy of PA, it was observed that PA inhibits alpha-amylase activity but later on it was proven that PA does not have a hypoglycemic effect. Main bioactive metabolites present in this plant include alkaloids, flavonoids, volatile oils, etc. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusions:&lt;/strong&gt; Based on this review, there are evidences from various studies regarding pharmacological effects of this plant as nephroprotective, anti-oxidant, anti-microbial activity. Some indications from &lt;em&gt;in vitro &lt;/em&gt;studies have confirmed the inhibitory activity of this plant extract against alpha amylase enzyme. The available literature showed that most of the activities of the &lt;em&gt;Paronychia&lt;/em&gt; can be accredited to the flavonoids present in them. Data regarding mechanisms of action of this plant along with pharmacokinetics, toxicology studies is still limited, which indicate the need of such studies for the clinical usage of this plant.&lt;/p&gt;

However, sweet-type is more available than sour-type. Therefore, developing a new product from sweet-type star fruit, and evaluating its effectiveness on antioxidants and inflammation have been very challenging.&lt;strong&gt; Objectives: &lt;/strong&gt;The aims were to develop a prototype product from sweet-type star fruit and evaluate its effectiveness with or without walking exercise on participants with stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). &lt;strong&gt;Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; The prototype product of sweet-type star fruit was prepared industrially by mixing with honey before nutrients such as L-ascorbic acid (Vit C) and total phenolic compound, and contaminants like chemicals, microbials and oxalic acid were evaluated. Effectiveness of this product on antioxidents, inflammation and physical function was evaluated in participants with stable COPD with and without walking exercise, and compared to walking exercise and control participants. Two spoons of the product (20 g) in sterile warm water (150 mL) were guided and consumed twice daily for 4 weeks, whereas the walking exercise was prescribed with moderate intensity at home for 30 min 3 days per week. Plasma Vit C, total antioxidant capacity (TAC), malondialdehyde (MDA), tumor necrotic factoralpha (TNF-∝) and 6-minutes walking distance (6MWD) were evaluated before and after the 4-week study period. &lt;strong&gt;Results: &lt;/strong&gt;The prototype product composed of star fruit juice with honey (1:1, v:v). Main nutrients were composed of ash (0.4 g), carbohydrate (74.59 g), lipid (2.88 g), protein (0.57 g) and 326.56 kcal of total energy, whereas Vit C and total phenolic compound were equivalent to 0.25 ± 0.11 mg and 144.89 ± 2.51 μg gallic acid equivalent in a 100 gram of product. The results of chemicals and microbials showed safety under food conditions. The results of study compared the ages of stable COPD participants between those of the controls (n=10, 69.20±1.40 years), and those with star fruit juice and honey supplement (n=20, 71.25 ± 6.01 years), walking exercise (n=15, 60.60±3.38 years), and supplement with walking exercise (n=15, 64.40±1.63 years) and no statistical difference was shown in any parameters in the control group. Whereas, the plasma Vit C and TAC levels increased, and MDA and TNF-∝ levels reduced significantly, in the supplement consumption group, which was in contrast to the Vit C, MDA and TNF-∝ levels in the walking exercise group. However, the TAC level increased significantly when the walking exercise was completed. When the prototype product was applied to the walking exercise, the levels of Vit C and TAC increased, and MDA and TNF-∝ levels reduced significantly. Whereas, the supplement levels increased significantly in all of the groups, especially in the 6MWD. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; This study proposed that sweet-type star fruit can be prepared industrially by mixing with honey, and be developed as a new commercial product with antioxidant and inflammation activities for participants suffering with chronic lung disease.&lt;/p&gt;

The whole plant of &lt;em&gt;S. bryopteris&lt;/em&gt; Linn. was collected from Andhra Pradesh, India and extraction was done using ethanol. GC-MS analysis was performed to determine active metabolites present in the extract followed by determination of total phenolic and flavonoid contents. &lt;em&gt;In vivo&lt;/em&gt; wound healing activity of ethanolic extract was evaluated using excision wound model. The extract was applied topically on animals by preparing ointment in two concentrations (5% and 10%) where soframycin (10%) was taken as positive control. Antioxidant activity of &lt;em&gt;S. bryopteris &lt;/em&gt;extract was observed by measuring oxidative enzymatic levels i.e. Superoxide dismutase (SOD), Catalase (CAT), reduced Glutathione (GSH) and lipid peroxidation (LPO) in animal tissues. Histopathological studies of excised skin were carried out after the experimental period. The contraction rate of the wound was higher and dose-dependent in rats treated with 5% and 10 % ointment of extract in comparison to untreated control group. The drug treated groups showed recovery phase and the percentage of healing was more in 10% at the end of experimental period. Results exhibited sufficient insights on the healing process with normal recovery stages and restored oxidative enzymatic levels. Histopathological findings provided additional positive results; the dermis with proliferating capillaries and skeletal muscle were replaced by cellular fibrous tissue and collagen fibers. Overall, the results showed that ethanolic extract of &lt;em&gt;S.bryopteris&lt;/em&gt; was an interesting traditional agent that possess significant wound healing activity.&lt;/p&gt;

Although &lt;em&gt;Cakile maritima&lt;/em&gt; has a high antioxidant capacity, it is yet to be tested for the ability to inhibit the proliferation of cancer cells. &lt;strong&gt;Methods&lt;/strong&gt;: Solvent extracts prepared from &lt;em&gt;C. maritima&lt;/em&gt; plant material were analysed for antioxidant capacity by the DPPH free radical scavenging assay. Anti-proliferative activities against Caco&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt; and HeLa cancer cells were determined by an MTS based cell proliferation assay. Toxicity was determined by the Artemia franciscana bioassay. The most potent anti-proliferative extract (hexane) was further investigated using non-targeted GC-MS headspace analysis. &lt;strong&gt;Results&lt;/strong&gt;: Good DPPH radical scavenging activity was calculated for all &lt;em&gt;C. maritima&lt;/em&gt; extracts. The methanolic and ethyl acetate extracts had particularly strong antioxidant activity (IC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt; of 4.7 and 3.4 μg/mL respectively). Interestingly, the hexane extract which had the lowest DPPH radical scavenging activity (IC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt; 13.6 μg/mL), was the most potent inhibitor or Caco&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt; and HeLa carcinoma cell growth, with IC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt;’s of 12 and 126 μg/mL respectively. The ethyl acetate extract was also a potent inhibitor of proliferation (IC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt; values of 185 and 468 μg/mL against Caco&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt; and HeLa, respectively). The methanolic extract (IC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt; values of 2261 and 2046 μg/mL against CaCo&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt; and HeLa respectively) displayed only moderate anti-proliferative activity, demonstrating that antioxidant activity did not correspond with anti-proliferative activity. All of the extracts were determined to be nontoxic in the Artemia franciscana bioassay, with LC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt; values substantially &amp;gt;1000 μg/mL. Non-biased GC-MS headspace analysis of the &lt;em&gt;C. maritima&lt;/em&gt; hexane extract highlighted several interesting compounds that may contribute to the therapeutic bioactivities of the extract. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion&lt;/strong&gt;: The lack of toxicity and the anti-proliferative activity of the hexane and ethyl acetate &lt;em&gt;C. maritima &lt;/em&gt; extracts against HeLa and Caco&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt; cancer cell lines indicates their potential in the treatment and prevention of some cancers.&lt;/p&gt;

The leaves of &lt;em&gt;Moringa oleifera&lt;/em&gt; and petals of &lt;em&gt;Hibiscus sabdariffa&lt;/em&gt; were extracted by cool maceration with distilled water and ethylacetate, independently for 48 hours using soxhlet extractor. The free radical scavenging activities of the extracts were determined spectrophotometrically. DPPH free radical was used to determine the free radical scavenging activities of the extracts. The reducing power efficacy of the extracts was determined by their ability to reduce Fe&lt;sup&gt;3&lt;/sup&gt;+ to Fe&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt;+ ions using FERAP. &lt;strong&gt;Results: &lt;/strong&gt;Ethylacetate extract of &lt;em&gt;Hibiscus sabdariffa&lt;/em&gt; petals had higher free radical scavenging efficacy and more reducing power with an inhibitory concentration (IC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt;) of 1.57 mg/ml compared to the ethylacetate extract of &lt;em&gt;Moringa oleifera&lt;/em&gt; leaves which had an IC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt; of 2.60 mg/ml. Phytochemical profile revealed that the predominant compounds in both extracts were flavonoids, phenols, and amino acids. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion: &lt;/strong&gt;This study has established that ethylacetate extract of the Petals of &lt;em&gt;Hibiscus sabdariffa &lt;/em&gt;has more reducing power and free radical scavenging efficacy compared to ethylacetate extract of &lt;em&gt;Moringa oleifera &lt;/em&gt;leaves. These plant parts could serve as novel sources for clinically efficient antioxidants.&lt;/p&gt;

The putative antioxidant activity of these extracts was then assessed by measuring &lt;em&gt;in-vitro &lt;/em&gt;radical-scavenging activity, ion-chelating potential and reducing potency. Potential cytotoxicity of the extract on Human lenticular epithelial B3 (HLE-B3) cells was also sought. Finally, possible prevention of cataract formation by the methanolic extract was gauged in selenite-exposed lenses obtained from Wistar rats. There were 3 groups (8 Lenses in each): Group I (Lenses incubated in Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s medium [DMEM] alone); Group II (Lenses incubated in DMEM with sodium selenite [100 &lt;em&gt;μ&lt;/em&gt;M/ml]); Group III (Lenses incubated in DMEM with selenite [100 &lt;em&gt;μ&lt;/em&gt;M/ml] and the &lt;em&gt;O. basilicum&lt;/em&gt; methanolic extract (200 &lt;em&gt;μ&lt;/em&gt;g/ml DMEM). Gross lenticular morphology was assessed. Levels of lenticular malondialdehyde (MDA) and reduced glutathione (GSH) were also measured. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; A higher intensity of antioxidative activity was noted in the methanolic extract than in the aqueous extract. The methanolic extract exhibited negligible cytotoxicity. On morphological examination, marked opacification was seen in all 8 Group II lenses whereas there was no opacification in 7 of 8 Group III lenses. Near normal mean levels of reduced glutathione and malondialdehyde, were noted within Group III lenses. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; The methanolic extract of the &lt;em&gt;O. basilicum&lt;/em&gt; leaf appears to prevent selenite-induced cataract formation&lt;em&gt; in-vitro.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Previous studies suggested that a high niacin intake could decrease the prevalence of cataracts, which may delay the onset of diabetic cataract. &lt;strong&gt;Aim:&lt;/strong&gt; The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of niacin on the hyperglycemia-induced osmotic stress and oxidative stress in human lens epithelial cells. &lt;strong&gt;Materials and Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; Human lens epithelial cells were cultured in a high glucose condition. Oxidative stress markers, including malondialdehyde (MDA), protein carbonyl content (PCC) and glucose reactive protein (GRP), were measured using TBARS analysis (MDA) and ELISA (PCC and GRP) after 72 h incubation.&lt;strong&gt; Results:&lt;/strong&gt; The MDA levels increased after high glucose administration relative to that in the control group (p &amp;lt;0.05). Further, the groups that were co-treated with niacin showed decrease in the MDA levels for all doses of niacin and the lowest mean MDA level was obtained with 100 μM niacin. There was a decrease in the PCC levels for all doses, whereas the lowest mean PCC level was observed at a 100 μM niacin dose. The GRP levels increased after high glucose administration as compared with the control group. Also, the groups that were co-treated with niacin exhibited statistically significant reduction.&lt;strong&gt; Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; These results suggest that niacin can inhibit the osmotic stress and oxidative stress which may lead to the progression of a diabetic cataract. Also, it may maintain lens transparency by acting as a precursor for glutathione biosynthesis and an antioxidant.&lt;/p&gt;

Vascular permeability, expression of CaMK II/NF-kB, Retinal morphology and neuropathic change of the retinal ganglion cells were investigated. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; As an anti-oxidant, curcumin raised Retinal Ganglionic cells by increasing Brn3a expression during oxidative stress condition and subsequently decreased the expression of inflammatory mediators such as VEGF, iNOS and ICAM-1 as an anti-inflammatory agent by inhibiting CaMKII and NF-kB expression. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; Curcumin, a common food additive has beneficial effects in experimental studies of diseases that are characterised by increased oxidative stress and inflammatory reactions. It appears to be a useful adjunct therapy to possibly inhibit the progression of retinopathy, sight threatening complication faced by diabetic patients.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Original Article</style></work-type><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">324</style></section><auth-address><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Debasish Pradhan&lt;sup&gt;1*&lt;/sup&gt;, Toffa Dasmohapatra&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt;, Gitanjali Tripathy&lt;sup&gt;3&lt;/sup&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Traditional medicines offer potent pharmacological activity with minimal side effects compared to synthetic drugs to treat such chronic disorders. There is no renowned remedy for arrest or rescuing infection or inflammation-induced brain damage. The present study was aimed to evaluate the neuroprotective effect of ethanol extract of &lt;em&gt;Pedalium murex&lt;/em&gt; Linn. (EEPM) leaves against lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced endotoxemia. &lt;strong&gt;Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; Neurodegeneration was induced in rats with a single intraperitoneal injection of LPS (1 mg/kg). The induced endotoxemia constantly linked with battery of behavioural tests viz., choice reaction time task (CRT), 8-arm radial maze (RAM) and water maze test (WMT). At the end of the study, rats were sacrificed, brain hippocampal region was removed and biochemical parameters were measured. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; In WMT swimming length (cm) was increased in LPS-treated rats when compared to control animals, the swimming length (EEPM; 400 mg/kg) was found to be significant; in RAM, different doses of EEPM at 100, 200 and 400 mg/kg decreased the number of errors in entry 4.00&amp;plusmn;0.36, 4.16&amp;plusmn;0.16and 3.33&amp;plusmn;2.79 respectively when compared with control animals (2.66&amp;plusmn; 0.21). EEPM at 400 mg/kg showed significant activity, in CRT apparatus increased incorrect lever pressing was observed in LPS-treated rats when compared to control animals. Incorrect lever pressing was minimized by EEPM at 400 mg/kg (43.5&amp;plusmn;2.40). &lt;strong&gt;Conclusions:&lt;/strong&gt; Our results showed that EEPM is a hopeful aspirant for hindrance of infection and inflammation induced brain damage by LPS.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">6</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Original Article</style></work-type><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">957</style></section><auth-address><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Swaminathan Gomathi&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;, Rajagopal Shanmuga Sundaram&lt;sup&gt;2*&lt;/sup&gt;, Vellaichamy Muthupandi Annapandian&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt;, Manickam Vijayabaskaran&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Immunological indices like humoral antibody titer values, cellular immune response, percent change in phagocytosis, serum immunoglobulins were estimated. Histopathology of spleen was done in all control and treated groups. The doses of 500 and 250 mg/kg of PSMS were administered orally to evaluate the immunomodulatory activity. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; Though PSMS was demonstrated to have immunostimulatory activity in almost all three models of immunosuppression, PSMS was found to be more effi cacious against ethanol-induced immunosuppression when compared with pyrogallol induced immunosuppression and MTZ induced immunosuppression. However, dose-dependent improvement in immunological indices was evident in all three models. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; In summary, water soluble polysaccharides isolated from &lt;em&gt;M. sagu&lt;/em&gt; stimulate the immunity in the animal models of immunosuppression.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Key words:&lt;/strong&gt; Immunomodulation, immunosuppression, &lt;em&gt;Metroxylon sagu&lt;/em&gt;, oxidative stress, polysaccharides.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">5</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Original Article</style></work-type><auth-address><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Sireesha Pulla&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;, Nagarjuna Sannithi&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;, Siva Reddy Challa&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;sup&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2*&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;Department of Pharmacology, Raghavendra Institute of Pharmaceutical Education and Research, Ananthapur, Andhra Pradesh, India,&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt;Department of Pharmacology, KVSR Siddhartha College of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Vijayawada, Andhra Pradesh, India.&lt;/p&gt;</style></auth-address></record></records></xml>
