This study aimed to evaluate the therapeutic potential of Vernonia amygdalina extract (VAE) in ameliorating hyperglycemia using a streptozotocin (STZ) and high-fat diet (HFD)-induced rat model of diabetes. &lt;strong&gt;Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; Sixty male Wistar rats were divided into six groups: normal control, diabetic control, and four treatment groups receiving different doses of VAE (100, 300, and 500 mg/kg body weight) orally for eight weeks. Diabetes was induced in rats by a single intraperitoneal injection of STZ (55 mg/kg) after four weeks of Nicotinamid feeding. Body weight, fasting blood glucose levels, HbA1c, serum insulin levels, superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity, and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels were measured. &lt;strong&gt;Results: &lt;/strong&gt;Treatment with VAE significantly reduced fasting blood glucose levels in a dose-dependent manner compared to the diabetic control group (p &amp;lt; 0.05). VAE administration also led to a significant decrease in HbA1c levels and an increase in serum insulin levels in a dosedependent manner (p &amp;lt; 0.05). Furthermore, VAE supplementation restored SOD activity and reduced MDA levels, indicating improved antioxidant status in the treated groups (p &amp;lt; 0.05). &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion: &lt;/strong&gt;This study demonstrates the therapeutic potential of Vernonia amygdalina as an antidiabetic agent in the STZ and HFD-induced rat model of diabetes. VAE supplementation effectively reduced fasting blood glucose levels, improved glycemic control as indicated by reduced HbA1c levels, and enhanced insulin secretion. Moreover, VAE exhibited antioxidant activity by restoring SOD activity and reducing MDA levels. These findings suggest that Vernonia amygdalina could be a promising natural remedy for the management of diabetes. Further investigations are warranted to elucidate the underlying mechanisms and evaluate its long-term safety and efficacy in humans.&lt;/p&gt;

Diabetes is becoming more common worldwide. Managing diabetes can be complicated, but many people, especially in Saudi Arabia, often use traditional herbal medicines to treat the condition. Our study concentrates on assessing the safety of commonly used antidiabetic herbs in Saudi Arabia by examining their potential toxicity. &lt;strong&gt;Method:&lt;/strong&gt; Using keywords and their variations, we conducted a systematic search of the PubMed and Google Scholar databases to find studies on treatments based on antidiabetic herbs and their toxic effects from 2014 to 2024. &lt;strong&gt;Result:&lt;/strong&gt; Our study revealed that the use of medicinal plants for treating and managing diabetes along with its complications is becoming popular around the globe. These medicinal plants are also being used as primary sources of developing modern pharmaceutical antidiabetic drugs. Phytotherapy is safe to treat diabetes as herbal bioactive components act through many biological pathways. They may inhibit α-glucosidase enzyme, enhance GLUT-4 translocation, and also improve lipid profile.&lt;strong&gt; Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; The use of natural plants having medicinal properties is popular for the treatment of diabetes. Claims of their usefulness by traditional healers are being supported by scientific evidence also. To determine the right dosage of these medicinal herbs, cytotoxicity tests or short-term experiments are done to establish doses of plants used in vitro and in vivo. Toxicity concerns are a primary reason why healthcare professionals hesitate to incorporate herbal products into the healthcare system. That’s why it is necessary to screen such plants for their toxicity to differentiate pharmacological efficacy from adverse effects.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

Treatment using lidocaine injection is one of the effective ways to manage pain in patients with DNP. Pain therapy using lidocaine locally targets the SCN9A and SCN10A genes, which encode the sodium receptors Nav1.7 and Nav1.8. The effect of lidocaine inhibits these sodium channels to reduce pain transmission. &lt;strong&gt;Purpose:&lt;/strong&gt; This study aims to analyze the effect of polymorphism of genes encoding Nav1.7 and Nav1.8 on the effectiveness of lidocaine local injection therapy in patients with DNP. &lt;strong&gt;Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; This study was an analytic observational study with a cross-sectional approach. A total of 63 people with DNP were genotyped for the SCN9A rs 6746030 gene and the SCN10A rs12632942 gene using Real-Time PCR/qPCR and DNA sequencing. &lt;strong&gt;Result: &lt;/strong&gt;The results showed that 91.2% and 70.6% of the population who experienced decreased pain had the GA mutant allele in the SCN9A rs6746030 gene and the AG mutant allele in the SCN10A rs12632942 gene. The results showed a significant association of Nav1.7 and Nav1.8 gene polymorphisms with the effectiveness of lidocaine local anesthetic injection therapy in diabetic neuropathy pain patients (p &amp;lt; 0.05). &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion: &lt;/strong&gt;This study shows that there was an association between Nav1.7 and Nav1.8 gene polymorphisms and the effectiveness of lidocaine local anesthetic injection therapy in patients with DNP. Lidocaine injection therapy that targets the Nav1.7 and Nav1.8 sodium channels involving the SCN9A and SCN10A genes can be a therapeutic alternative for patients with DNP.&lt;/p&gt;

This research method are 30 male mice were used as experimental animals, which were randomly divided into five groups, each group consisting of 6 mice. The division of the group is as follows: Treatment of non-diabetic mice, diabetic mice, diabetic mice by administering pioglitazone at a dose of 2 mg/kg BW, extracts of manila sapodilla leaf (&lt;em&gt;M. zapota&lt;/em&gt; L.) dose 100 mg/kg BW and 300 mg/kg BW. Observations were made on the 14th day, after administration of sapodilla leaf extract, mice were given light anesthesia and serum lipid profiles Total Cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), High-Density Lipoprotein (HDL), and Low-Density Lipoprotein (LDL) were measured using diagnostic kits (Pars Azmoon Kit) and automatic analyzer (Abbot, model Alcyon 300). The results of this study are in TC, there was a significant difference in pioglitazone and 100 mg leaf extract against all treatment groups. In TG, there was a significant difference in pioglitazone and 300 mg leaf extract against all treatment groups. In LDL, there were significant differences in the 100 mg, 300 mg leaf extract and pioglitazone, against negative control, and diabetes control. In HDL, there was a significant difference in negative control and 300 mg leaf extract, against 100 mg leaf extract, pioglitazone, and diabetes control. The conclusions of this study exhibited the ethanol extract of&lt;em&gt; M. zapota&lt;/em&gt; leaves contains several phytochemical compounds including alkaloids, flavonoids, saponins, polyphenols, tannins, quinones, and steroids. &lt;em&gt;M. zapota &lt;/em&gt;leaves extract (100 mg/kg and 300 mg/kg) exhibited a significant effect on improvement in lipid protein.&lt;/p&gt;

However, the combined effects of these plants have not yet been assessed. This study evaluated the oral acute toxicity and&lt;em&gt; in vivo &lt;/em&gt;antihyperglycemic effects of the extract combining AP and SC (SCAP) in rats with high-fat diet- and streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetes. Thirteen female DDY mice for toxicity test were divided into three groups and orally administered one dose SCAP (0, 300, or 2000 mg/kg). On day 15, animals were euthanized, their internal organs were observed, and blood samples were collected for clinical biochemistry analyses.&lt;em&gt; In vivo&lt;/em&gt; antihyperglycemic activity was examined in male Sprague- Dawley rats-induced diabetes. Diabetic rats were assigned to once-daily oral treatment with metformin, AP, SC or SCAP for 1 week. Concerning toxicity, SCAP had no effects on liver and kidney and histology of these organs displayed no abnormalities. Blood glucose levels had a tendency to reduce in treatment groups compared with the findings in the diabetic control group. SCAP treatment protected rats against pancreatic damage. These results illustrated that the combined SCAP treatment had beneficial effects on blood glucose levels and pancreatic β-cell function, in rats-induced diabetes.&lt;/p&gt;

Making a diabetic animal model using rats with high-fat diet (HFD)-streptozotocin (STZ) induction is popular because it is relatively low cost and simple. &lt;strong&gt;Objectives:&lt;/strong&gt; This study aims to analyse the changes in body weight, blood glucose, and lipid profiles that occur in diabetic rat models created by induction of HFD in combination with lowdose STZ. &lt;strong&gt;Methods: &lt;/strong&gt;This study used forty male Sprague-Dawley rats (200-240 g). After the adaptation period, thirty rats were fed with HFD for 28 days (DM group), while the other ten rats continued to be fed with standard feed (NC group). After then, diabetes was induced to the DM group by low-dose STZ (35 mg/kg BW). The body weight of the rats was measured before and after diet manipulation periods. Blood samples were taken before and after STZ induction to determine lipid profiles and blood glucose levels.&lt;strong&gt; Results:&lt;/strong&gt; During the diet manipulation period, the HFD group experienced a significantly greater weight gain, higher blood glucose levels, and cholesterol (TC) levels. After STZ injection, rats’ blood glucose levels, TC, and triglycerides significantly increased.&lt;strong&gt; Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; HFD feeding combined with a low-dose STZ effectively work to mimic specific condition that is similar to T2D, and the stability of the experimental animal conditions remains constant for up to 6 weeks.&lt;/p&gt;

Diabetes was induced by a single intraperitoneal (i.p) injection of alloxan (150 mg/kg BW). AME and TGE (200 mg/ kg BW each) and Metformin (100 mg/kg BW) was administered to diabetic rats orally for 21 days. At the end of the study, rats were sacrificed; blood was collected for assessment of lipid profile and kidney function. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; Treatment of diabetic rats with AME and TGE caused a significant decrease (&lt;em&gt;p&lt;/em&gt; &amp;lt; 0.05) in the concentrations of total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG) and Coronary Risk Index (CRI) with a concomitant increase in High Density Lipoprotein (HDL). Similarly, urea and creatinine concentration decreased in diabetic rats administered plant extracts. Co-administration of the plant extracts with metformin significantly improved lipid profiles and kidney function relative to rats administered metformin alone. Co-administration of AME and TGE extracts with metformin produced significant improvement in biochemical indices of diabetic rats. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; The results suggest potential synergistic interaction between the plant extracts and metformin. Furthermore, this work provides scientific support for the concomitant use of the plants used in the study with orthodox drugs for the management of diabetes.&lt;/p&gt;

Diabetes requires management of diet and lifestyle with or without medications to keep the blood sugar under control. Foods with medium Glycemic Index (GI) is best preferred for Diabetics, because high GI foods will rapidly increase the blood sugar level, and low GI will cause grave health issues. In practice, wheat is the highly recommended diet for diabetics as the GI is medium in comparison to rice that belongs to a high GI group. But wheat causes digestive problems, and flatulence in addition to the Gluten allergy that many people suffer from. However in Āyurveda, the Classical Text Aṣṭāṅga Hṛdaya (AH) mentions in Prameha Cikitsa Adhyāya (Chapter on Treatment of Diabetes) that Godhūma (grains of Wheat - Triticum aestivum L) has to be kept soaked in Triphala Kaṣāya (Decoction prepared with the fruits of Terminalia chebula, T. bellerica and Phyllanthus emblica) and then dried and powdered before being used as a diet for a diabetic. The grains of Godhūma were kept soaked in Triphala Kaṣāya and then dried and powdered. A comparative analytical study was done for the two samples- treated wheat grains (Triphala Kaṣāya Vāsita Godhūma) and untreated/raw wheat grains. An In vivo study was also done to assess the GI value of both the samples of wheat. The analytical and In vivo study results prove that while the GI is still maintained within medium range, the allergen gluten is completely eliminated, total fat and total protein have reduced while still maintaining the nutritive value, in the treated sample when compared to the raw sample. Based on the results obtained from the analytical and in-vivo study, it can be concluded that Triphala Kaṣāya Vāsita Godhūma becomes even more compatible and healthy for a diabetic, in gluten allergy and discomforts caused by wheat consumption, in comparison to the untreated wheat grains.&lt;/p&gt;

This study investigated the &lt;em&gt;in vitro&lt;/em&gt; antioxidant and antidiabetic potential of crude extracts from the seed coat and pulp of &lt;em&gt;Strychnos madagascariensis&lt;/em&gt;. The phytochemical screening was carried out using standard protocols. Different extracts were prepared from the fruit parts by maceration using methanol, n-hexane, ethyl acetate, and water for antioxidant and antidiabetic assays, and their percentage yield was calculated. The antioxidant potential of the extracts was determined using 2,2’-azino-bis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid (ABTS) and 2’2- diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH). Antidiabetic activities of the extracts were investigated using α-amylase, α-glucosidase, and pancreatic lipase assays. Terpenoids, alkaloids and cardiac glycosides were present in both the fruit parts. However, saponin present in the fruit pulp was absent in the seed coat (testa). The percentage yields are as follows; water &amp;gt; ethyl acetate &amp;gt; hexane &amp;gt; methanol (seed coat) and methanol &amp;gt; water &amp;gt; ethyl acetate &amp;gt; hexane (fruit pulp), respectively. The crude extracts scavenged ABTS and DPPH radicals in different degrees. The aqueous extract of the pulp and seed coat (testa) showed significant (P &amp;lt; 0.05) higher scavenging activity against ABTS (IC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt;; 0.012 and 0.006 mg/ml) and DPPH (IC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt;; 0.06 mg/ml and 0.064 mg/ml) radicals than other extracts. The crude extracts inhibited α-amylase, α-glucosidase, and pancreatic lipase. The aqueous and methanol extracts of the fruit parts showed better amylase inhibitory activity than other extracts. The aqueous extract of the seed coat (IC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt;; 0.0785 mg/ml) showed the highest glucosidase inhibitory activity. In addition, methanol extract of the seed coat (IC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt;; 0.069 mg/ml) exhibited the highest inhibitory activity on pancreatic lipase compared to the extracts in other solvents. Hence, the aqueous and methanol crude extracts of Strychnos madagascariensis seed coat and fruit pulp could be used in the preparation of nutraceutical products for managing diabetic mellitus.&lt;/p&gt;

The &lt;em&gt;Psydrax genus &lt;/em&gt;has been reported to have various pharmacological activities. Based on ethno-pharmacological information, &lt;em&gt;Psydrax horizontalis &lt;/em&gt;Schum. and Thonn. (Bridson) locally known as “&lt;em&gt;Akata-ike&lt;/em&gt;” in Nsukka is used in the management of diabetes in South-eastern Nigeria. However as at the time of this research, no previous work has been done to investigate its phytochemical constituents and anti-diabetic activity. &lt;strong&gt;Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; The methanol extract (ME) obtained by maceration was analysed for phytochemicals present using standard procedures. Alloxan monohydrate at 150 mg/Kg was used to induce diabetes. Acute toxicity test was done using the Lorke’s method. The normoglycemic and alloxan-induced groups of twenty animals each were treated orally with 100, 200 and 400 mg/Kg of ME; 5 mg/Kg of glibenclamide and 2 mL/kg of 3% Tween 80 as the controls. The fasting blood glucose concentrations were monitored at 0, 1, 3 and 6 h, as well as 1&lt;sup&gt;st&lt;/sup&gt;, 3&lt;sup&gt;rd&lt;/sup&gt; and 5&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; day. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; Phytochemical screening revealed the presence of glycosides, alkaloids, tannins, flavonoids, steroids, saponins and terpenoids. Median lethal dose was greater than 5000 mg/kg. In the alloxan-induced diabetic rats, significant activity at &lt;em&gt;p&lt;/em&gt;&amp;lt;0.01 on the 6th hour was recorded at doses 100, 200 and 400 mg/Kg ME on day 3. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; The ME of &lt;em&gt;Psydrax horizontalis&lt;/em&gt; possesses significant anti-diabetic activity in the alloxan-induced diabetic rats. The results obtained validate its traditional use in management of diabetes.&lt;/p&gt;

However, there is dearth of scientific prove for the activity of these plants in the management of non-infectious human diseases such as cancer, insomnia, hypertension, ulcers and diabetes. &lt;strong&gt;Method:&lt;/strong&gt; The present study was designed to assess comparatively the effects of methanol extracts of &lt;em&gt;Annona muricata&lt;/em&gt; (AME) and &lt;em&gt;Tapinanthus globiferus&lt;/em&gt; (TGE) on biochemical indices of alloxan induced diabetic rats. The animals were allocated to eight (8) groups, group I were normal non-diabetic rats, group II (diabetic untreated group), group III treated with metformin alone, groups IV &amp;amp; V were diabetic rats treated with AME at dose of concentration 200 mg/kg BW &amp;amp; 400 mg/kg BW respectively, groups VI &amp;amp; VII were diabetic rats treated with 200 mg/kg BW &amp;amp; 400 mg/kg BW of TGE respectively. Group VIII were diabetic rats treated with AME + TGE at concentration of 200 mg/kg BW each. Concentrations of serum total cholesterol (TC), high density lipoprotein (HDL), triglyceride (TG) of alloxan diabetic rats, creatinine and urea were assayed after 21 days of the respective treatments. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; Diabetic untreated rats had significant increase &lt;em&gt;p&lt;/em&gt;&amp;lt;0.05 in TC, TG, urea and creatinine compared to normal control group as opposed to the significant decrease observed for HDL in diabetic rats. However, treatment of diabetic rats with AME and TGE significantly suppressed (&lt;em&gt;p&lt;/em&gt;&amp;lt;0.05) the concentrations of TC, TG and creatinine when compared with the diabetic untreated rats. A similar trend was observed for the calculated atherogenic index of treated rats when compared with diabetic untreated rats. Interestingly, co-administration of AME + TGE improved the biochemical indices of diabetic rats better than using each plant separately. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; The results of this study suggest that AME and TGE could offer some benefits in the management of diabetic complications especially with regard to cardiac and renal health.&lt;/p&gt;

The free radical scavenging assays were employed for investigation of Antioxidant potential in poly herbal formulation. The constraints studied for assessment of wound repair were percentage closing percentage of wound, tensile strength of repaired tissue, breaking strength of granulation tissue and valuation of hydroxyproline content on dried tissue. The histopathological sections of granulation tissues obtained in dead space wound model were studied for the distribution of collagen and other histopathological changes. Four groups were used in this study with six animals each. Group I and Group II acts as normal control and diabetic control whereas Group III and Group IV was used as glibenclamide treated (1mg/kg b.w.) and PHF (500 mg/kg b.w.) treated group respectively. On the other hand the various antioxidant assays like DPPH, scavenging assays, hydrogen peroxide assay etc. were investigated. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; The PHF has been significantly healing the wounds in diabetic rats within 18 days, while diabetic control rats healed the wound about 86.12% in the same conditions and time. The wound breaking strength and histopathological studies of healed skin was signified the results. Significant (p&amp;lt;0.01) increase in wound breaking strength as well as epithelialization and the level of hydroxyproline was observed in PHF treated animals comparison with diabetic control group. PHF has also shown significant antioxidant potential in &lt;em&gt;in-vitro&lt;/em&gt; assays. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion&lt;/strong&gt;: All these investigation indicates the significant wound healing and antioxidant potential of PHF in the experimental animal groups in diabetic condition.&lt;/p&gt;

Studies have shown that leaves have a low antihyperglycemic effect. This study aims to improve the effect of leaves. &lt;strong&gt;Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; The hydroalcoholic extract of the leaves underwent a fractionation (separation in cold alcohol) and an OGTT (Oral Glucose tolerance test) on healthy mice, a phytochemical screening and antioxidant tests (&lt;em&gt;in vitro&lt;/em&gt;: DPPH and &lt;em&gt;ex vivo&lt;/em&gt;: AAPH) were performed on the extract and its fractions. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; Phytochemical screening of the extract showed the presence of phenols, flavonoids and condensed tannins as well as the absence of condensed tannins, alkaloids, saponosides and anthracene derivatives. The extract also showed antioxidant activity. The supernatant fraction showed antihyperglycemic activity at 100 mg / kg in the 30th and 60th after glucose administration. Phytochemical screening of the supernatant revealed the presence of phenols, flavonoids and condensed tannins. The supernatant also showed more pronounced antioxidant activity than the total extract. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; In view of these results, the most active fraction obtained by the separation technique in cold alcohol is the supernatant.&lt;/p&gt;

Aims: This study evaluated the hypoglycaemic and antioxidant activity of its aqueous stem bark extract (PSAE) over a 15-day experimental period in streptozotocin (STZ)-challenged diabetic rats.&lt;strong&gt; Methods and Materia&lt;/strong&gt;l: STZ-induced diabetic rats were administered 50, 100 and 200 mg/kg body weight of the extract once daily and the blood glucose levels were monitored for 15 days. The bioactive constituents of PSAE were analyzed using Gas Chromatography- Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) technique. &lt;strong&gt;Results&lt;/strong&gt;: Treatment with PSAE markedly (&lt;em&gt;p&amp;lt;&lt;/em&gt; 0.05) ameliorated the concentrations of blood glucose and improved the lipid metabolism imbalance in the diabetic animals. Also, while PSAE significantly (&lt;em&gt;p&amp;lt;&lt;/em&gt;0.05) improved glycogen and glutathione (reduced) levels as well as glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, superoxide dismutase and catalase activities, the concentrations of glucose and malondialdehyde coupled with the activity of α-amylase were significantly reduced in the liver of PSAE-administered diabetic animals when compared with those of the normal control and untreated diabetic groups. The observed improvements could be associated with the phytoconstituents of PSAE as evident from the results of the GC-MS analysis. Put together, the elicited effects compared favorably well with metformin (a standard hypoglycemic drug) and are suggestive of antidiabetic and antioxidant capabilities of the extract. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion&lt;/strong&gt;: The scope of the data presented in this study indicates that the extract ameliorated streptozotocin-induced diabetes in rats and it is suggested to be mediated via antioxidant and concerted blood glucose lowering actions.&lt;/p&gt;

The highly valued part of the plant is the leaves which possess various biological activities. &lt;strong&gt;Objective:&lt;/strong&gt; The present study aimed to investigate the antidiabetic effect of &lt;em&gt;Murraya koenigii&lt;/em&gt; (MK) leaf extracts, of two different solvent ratios. &lt;strong&gt;Materials and methods:&lt;/strong&gt; 70% hydroalcoholic and alkaloidal extracts of MK leaves were prepared by cold maceration method. Preliminary phytochemical analysis was carried out for both the extracts. &lt;em&gt;In vitro&lt;/em&gt; anti diabetic activity was screened by inhibitory action on &amp;alpha; &amp;ndash; amylase, &amp;alpha; &amp;ndash; glucosidase enzymes. Further, the 70% hydroalcoholic and alkaloidal extracts were assessed for glucose uptake potential, anti - adipogenic property, as well as inhibitory activity on diabetes associated complications. HPTLC quantification of major phytoconstituent was carried out. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; The study showed presence of various phytoconstituents such as, polyphenols, alkaloids, tannins, reducing sugars etc. The 70% hydroalcoholic and alkaloidal extracts of MK leaves exhibited &amp;gt;90% inhibition against carbohydrate metabolising enzymes compared to aqueous and absolute alcohol extracts. Both the extracts showed enhanced glucose uptake in L6 myotubes attenuating the effect of Palmitate induced insulin resistance. Significant inhibition on adipogenesis was exerted by both 70% hydroalcoholic and alkaloidal extracts of MK leaves. Besides, marked inhibition of advanced glycation end products was exhibited by the extracts. HPTLC quantification analysis of the aforementioned extracts showed the presence of major phytoconstituent, Mahanine, in it. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; The results of the present study showed that MK possesses significant antidiabetic property and also exhibited considerable effect in preventing diabetes associated complications. The potent antidiabetic activity of MK could be attributed to the presence of Mahanine, the major active constituent, which is a carbazole alkaloid.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">4</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Original Article</style></work-type><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">633</style></section><auth-address><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Parameswari Royapuram Parthasarathy&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;, Janani Murthy&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;, Dinesh Murugan Girija&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;, Srivani Telapolu&lt;sub&gt;1&lt;/sub&gt;, Chamundeeswari Duraipandian&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt;, Thyagarajan Sadras Panchatcharam&lt;sup&gt;3&lt;/sup&gt;* &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

However, because of SGLT2 inhibitors is the new class of oral antidiabetic, it is rare to be found in Indonesia, and it is costly. This study was intended to find compounds from Indonesian herbal database that show capability to be used as SGLT2 inhibitors through a pharmacophore-based virtual screening approach. &lt;strong&gt;Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; The SGLT2 inhibitor pharmacophore models were made from 10 training sets of SGLT2 ligand inhibitors using the Ligand Scout 4.1.5. Ten pharmacophore models which had been made were validated using test set and decoy set methods to know how the performance of pharmacophore model worked. Virtual screening were then applied to the best pharmacophore model. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; The model-1 pharmacophore was the best model, with values of 0.9080, EF1% = 56.5, EF5% = 56.5 and AUC100% = 0.87 which served as model for virtual screening. Model-1 consisted of one hydrophobic interaction, one aromatic ring, four hydrogen bond donors and five hydrogen bond acceptors. Virtual screening showed three compounds (Hits) with best pharmacophore fit scores according to model-1 among 1377 compounds, they were vitexin = 113.62; cucumerin A = 112.62; and cucumerin B = 113.51. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; These results showed that vitexin, cucumerin A, and cucumerin B potentially have activity as an SGLT2 inhibitor.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">4</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Original Article</style></work-type><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">803</style></section><auth-address><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Rezwendy, Rezi Riadhi Syahdi, Arry Yanuar* &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Blood samples collected at predetermined time intervals from experimental animals were used for the estimation of glucose and insulin levels by using automated clinical chemistry analyzer and radioimmunoassay method, respectively. &amp;beta;-cell function was determined by homeostasis model assessment. Additionally, serum gliclazide levels in rabbits were analyzed by highperformance liquid chromatography. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; Gliclazide showed significant reduction in blood glucose levels in diabetic rats and rabbits. Similarly, piperine also showed significant reduction in blood glucose levels in animals. Additionally, , samples analyzed from all time points in combination with piperine showed peak reduction in blood glucose in diabetic rats and rabbits. The pharmacokinetics of gliclazide was also altered by single- or multiple-dose piperine treatments in rabbits. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; The interaction of piperine with gliclazide upon single and multiple-dose treatment was pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic in nature, indicating the need for periodic monitoring of glucose levels and dose adjustment as necessary when this combination is prescribed to 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%">221</style></section><auth-address><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Umachandar Lagisetty&lt;sup&gt;1*&lt;/sup&gt;, Habibuddin Mohammed&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt;, Sivakumar Ramaiah&lt;sup&gt;3 &lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

The extract was tested for toxicity in rats at a dose of 0, 1,000, 1,500 and 2,000 mg/kg body weight p.o once daily for 14 days. The hypoglycemic effects of PAE on normal rats and orally glucose-induced hyperglycemic rats were compared with distilled water and glibenclamide. A single dose (250 mg/kg body weight) of PAE was administered and blood glucose level was obtained by pricking the tail vain using glucometer at time -30, 0, 30, 60, 120 and 240 minutes. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; All doses of the extract did not exert any sign or symptom of toxicity and the dead rat was not found. The body weight, white blood cell (WBC), mean corpuscular volume (MCV), platelet (PLT), plateletcrit (PCT), mean platelet volume (MPV), platelet distribution width (PDW), blood chemistry, blood urea nitrogen (BUN), creatinine, alkaling phosphatase (ALP) and organ weight of liver were not significantly different between control and treated rats. However, red blood cell (RBC), hematocrit (HCT), lymphocyte (LYM), and hemoglobin (Hb) at a dose 1,500 mg./kg body weight were significantly lower than those in the control group. The blood glucose levels of PAE treated groups were not different with control and Glybenclamide treated. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; The findings of the present study can be concluded that the PAE are practically non-toxic at a lower dose.&lt;/p&gt;

Hook. f. ex Benth. A cost effective and eco friendly technique for green synthesis of SNPs from 1mM AgNO&lt;sub&gt;3&lt;/sub&gt; solution through the root extract was carried out. The biosynthesized SNPs were characterized using UV spectrophotometry, Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM), X-ray Diffraction analysis (XRD), Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS) and Fourier transform infra-red (FTIR) spectrometry. DPPH assay was done to determine the antioxidant activity and for &lt;em&gt;in vitro&lt;/em&gt; hypoglycemic activity glucose uptake by yeast cells, alpha amylase inhibition assay, adsorption capacity and glucose diffusion assay was performed. The SNPs of ethanolic root extract were found to be spherical in shape and up to 32.75 nm average in size. They showed alpha amylase inhibitory activity of 83.60% at 500 &lt;em&gt;&amp;mu;&lt;/em&gt;g/ml. The glucose uptake by yeast cells was found to increase with an increase in concentration. The maximum glucose uptake was found to be 69.51% at 10mM concentration. The molar concentration of glucose was directly proportional to the glucose binding capacity of extracts.The rate of glucose diffusion across the membrane was found to increase from 30 to 180 minutes. The DPPH scavenging activity was found to be potent (74.07%) at 500 &lt;em&gt;&amp;mu;&lt;/em&gt;g/ml. The hypoglycemic effect exhibited by the SNPs was revealed by simple in vitro model of yeast cells, mediated by glucose adsorption, increasing glucose diffusion and glucose transport across the cell membrane.&lt;/p&gt;

(Black seed), is commonly used by traditional healers as a remedy for more than four thousand years. The antidiabetic property of &lt;em&gt;N. sativa&lt;/em&gt; seeds oil is attributable to the presence of Thymoquinone (TQ). On the other hand many studies have been designed to investigate the possible effects of the TQ in Streptozotocin (STZ) and nicotinamide (NA)-induced diabetes in rats. &lt;strong&gt;Aim of the study: &lt;/strong&gt;The aim of this study was to elucidate the mechanisms underlying the glucose lowering effects of thymoquinone. &lt;strong&gt;Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;em&gt;In vitro&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;in silico&lt;/em&gt; using glycogen phosphorylase (GPa) enzyme assay and docking tools were used. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; Oral administration of TQ for 60 days, dose dependently improved the glycemic status in STZ-NA induced diabetic rats. GPa activity was measured in the direction of glycogen synthesis by the release of phosphate from glucose-1-phosphate. TQ at a concentration of 0.05 Mm inhibits GPa activity by only 14.9%. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; These results show that TQ at 60 mg/kg b.w is associated with potential antihyperglycemic effects. Furthermore, anti-diabetic properties of TQ are unassociated with glycogen phosphorylase inhibition.&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%">406</style></section><auth-address><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Nahid Mahmoud Hassan El-Ameen&lt;sup&gt;1*&lt;/sup&gt;, Manal Mohamed Elhassan Taha&lt;sup&gt;1*&lt;/sup&gt;, Siddig Ibrahim Abdelwahab&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;, Asaad Khalid&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;, Fatima Elfatih&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt;, Mona Awad Kamel&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt; and Bassem Yousif Sheikh&lt;sup&gt;3 &lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

The effects of Helicteres isora plant extract on plasma and tissue glycoproteins (hexose, hexosamine, sialic acid and fucose) were determined. The levels of plasma glycoproteins containing hexose, hexosamine, sialic acid and fucose were significantly increased in diabetic rats when compared with normal control rats. There was a significant decrease in the level of sialic acid and elevated levels of hexose, hexosamine and fucose in the liver and kidney of STZ induced diabetic rats. On oral administration of&lt;em&gt; Helicteres&lt;/em&gt; isora plant extract to diabetic rats showed decreased levels of plasma glycoproteins. The level of tissue sialic acid was increased whereas the levels of tissue hexose, hexosamine and fucose were reversed to near normal. The present study indicates that the&lt;em&gt; Helicteres&lt;/em&gt; isora plant extract possesses a significant protective effect on glycoprotein metabolism in addition to its anti-diabetic effect.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Key words:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Helicteres &lt;/em&gt;isora, Diabetes, Plasma Glycoproteins, Streptozotocin.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">4</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Research 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;C Elanchezhiyan&lt;sup&gt;*1&lt;/sup&gt;, K Kumaravel&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt;, Bilal Ahmad Bhat&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt; and S Sethupathy&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;sup&gt;&lt;strong&gt;3&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 Zoology, Annamalai University, Annamalainagar-608002, Tamil Nadu, India&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt;Department of Marine Biotechnology, CAS in Marine Biology, Annamalai University, Parangipettai&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;sup&gt;3&lt;/sup&gt;Division of Medical Biochemistry, RMMCH, Annamalai University, Annamalainagar-608002.&lt;/p&gt;</style></auth-address></record></records></xml>
