Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsThe Enzymatic Role of Lipid Metabolism in Yarrowia lipolytica Grown on GlycerolRuixue Wang, Feifei Xin, Yufei Chang et al.More attention has been paid to the production of commercial fatty acids by microbial fermentation. The basic biochemistry of lipid accumulation in oleaginous microorganisms under nitrogen limitation has been extensively studied. As an oleaginous microorganism, Yarrowia lipolytica can produce fatty acid-derived biofuels and biochemicals. However, the response of the enzymes in Y. lipolytica to glycerol remains unclear. Therefore, we aimed … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 19, Issue 2 · 17 Apr 2023 · 6,309 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsEffect of Cinnamomum cassia Stem-Bark Extracts on the Synthesis and Secretion of Insulin in RIN-m5F CellsAnanias Hodi Kgopa, Sebolaishi Doris Makhubela, Motetelo Alfred Mogale, Leshweni Jerry ShaiCinnamomum cassia (C. cassia) crude stem-bark extracts possess some hypoglycemic properties through inhibiting the uptake of glucose by the intestines and/or enhancing insulin sensitivity. To further investigate the mechanism through which the hypoglycemic effect is exerted, this research explored the influence of the extracts of the crude stem-bark of C. cassia, with various polarities, on particular aspects of glucose consumption … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 22, Issue 2 · 5 Apr 2022 · 5,784 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsMomordica balsamina Fruit Extracts Enhances Selected Aspects of the Insulin Synthesis/Secretion PathwayAnanias Hodi Kgopa, Leshweni Jerry Shai, Motetelo Alfred MogalePrevious studies have suggested that crude plant extracts of the anti-diabetic medicinal plant, Momordica balsamina (MB) may exert their anti-diabetic effect through either enhancement of insulin sensitivity or inhibition of intestinal glucose absorption. However, the effects of these MB extracts on insulin synthesis and secretion are not well documented in the literature. Therefore, a main purpose of the current research … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 16, Issue 4 · 17 Dec 2020 · 6,999 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsAntidiabetic and Antioxidant Potential of Vernonia amygdalina Leaf Extract in Alloxan-Induced Sprague-Dawley RatsFatmawaty Yazid, Nina Bonita Hasanah, Rosmalena et al.The treatment of diabetes mellitus using drug medications have side effects such as weight gain, hypoglycemia, the risk of cardiovascular or all-cause mortality. These limitations have become one reason to use complementary therapy from plant extract, such as Vernonia amygdalina as an antidiabetes. This research aimed to investigate the effect of V. amygdalina leaf extracts as antidiabetic and antioxidant agents … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 20, Issue 4 · 23 Nov 2020 · 8,649 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsPromising Effects of Beta-Glucans on Metabolism and on the Immune Responses: Review ArticleViviam de Oliveira Silva, Natália Oliveira de Moura, Larissa Jahnel Rodrigues de Oliveira et al.A public health issue, Diabetes mellitus, affects millions of people around the globe. Ingestion of foods with a low glycemic index - fiber-rich meals-such as beta-glucans, is increasing as an important alternative for diabetes control. These compounds act reducing parameters such as blood glucose, cholesterol and triglycerides, by decreasing the absorption of glucose and lipids by enterocytes and eventually promote … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 13, Issue 1 · 29 Mar 2017 · 12,684 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsAdiponectin Regulation in Type 2 Diabetic Rats: Effects of Insulin, Metformin and DexamethasoneTamer Ahmed Ismail, Mohamed Mohamed Soliman, Shimaa Ahmed IsmailAdiponectin is a protein synthesized from adipose tissue, increases peripheral glucose utilization in liver and skeletal muscle. Adiponectin expression and secretion are decreased during obesity and insulin resistance. In this study, the effect of insulin, metformin and dexamethasone on serum lipid profiles was examined in Type 2 Diabetic (T2D) rats. T2D was induced by feeding rats a high fat diet … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 23 Nov 2013 · 7,723 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsEthanolic Extract of Leaves of Newbouldia laevis Attenuates Glycosylation of Hemoglobin and Lipid Peroxidation in Diabetic RatsKolawole O. Timothy, Akanji M. Adewumi, Awe O. Emmanuel, Akiibinu M. OlayemiDiabetes is one of the major health problems around the world and the incidence of this metabolic disorder is on the increase. Current therapeutic interventions have not done much in preventing complications of diabetes. Therefore this study investigated the effect of ethanolic extract of Newbouldia laevis leaves (NLet) on lipid peroxidation and glycosylation of hemoglobin, which are pathological indicators of … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 13 Nov 2013 · 8,121 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsBIOCHEMICAL STUDIES ON NIGERIAN MONODORA TENUIFOLIA SEEDEkeanyanwu Raphael Chukwuma, Njoku Obioma UzomaThe nutritive constituents of the seeds of Monodora tenuifolia were analyzed to augment the available information on Monodora tenuifolia research. Blood glucose and lipid profile were investigated on the flavonoid rich fraction of M. tenuifolia in rats. The composition (gkg-1) of alkaloids, cyanogenic glycosides, tannins and flavonoids were 13.3±0.1, 21.2×10-2±0.6, 1.3±0.1, 1.7±0.1 and 11.7±1.1 respectively.
