Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleChamaemelum nobile L. Aqueous Extract Represses Endogenous Glucose Production and Improves Insulin Sensitivity in Streptozotocin-induced Diabetic MiceLemhadri Ahmed, Remy Burcelin, Thierry Sulpice, Mohamed EddouksThe present study was undertaken in order to evaluate the possible mechanisms of action involved in the hypoglycaemic activity of the aqueous extract of Chamaemelum nobile (CN) (20 mg kg-1). This study was carried out in multi low-dose streptozotocin-induced (MLDS) diabetic mice. Hypoglycaemic effect of CN was studied after both single and repeated oral administration of CN aqueous extract (20 … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2007 · 7,255 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsStudy of Modified Oral Minimal Model using n-Order Decay Rate of Plasma Insulin for the Oral Glucose Tolerance Test in Subjects with Normal, Impaired and Diabetic Glucose ToleranceAgus Kartono, Egha Sabila Putri, Ardian Arif Setiawan et al.In this present study, the modified Oral Minimal Model (OMM), with secretion of insulin from pancreas was assumed that the insulin decay rate was not always a first-orderly process in the Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT), had been developed to study Normal Glucose Tolerance (NGT), Impaired Glucose Tolerance (IGT or pre-diabetes) and type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) subjects. The modified … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 4 · 25 Apr 2017 · 7,976 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsGalactomannan Restore Letrozole Induced Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) in Rat ModelManoj K. Aswar, Utkarsha V. Deshpande, Urmila AswarCurrent research aims towards evaluation of the effect of Galactomannan (GM) on letrozole-induced PCOS in adult female Wistar rats. Seven randomized groups of six female rats were made. The rats in all groups were administered with letrozole (1 mg/kg p.o.) for 21 days to induce PCOS. Rats in respective groups were treated with vehicle (10 ml/kg, p.o.), clomiphene citrate (1 … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 16, Issue 1 · 1 Dec 2021 · 7,482 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Comprehensive Review of Traditional Antidiabetic Plants Used for Diabetes Management in South AfricaLaverdure Tchamani Piame, Constance Rusike, Yandiswa Yolanda YakoIn the wake of a global resurgence in complementary and alternative medicine, South African flora stands out for its wealth of species long employed in traditional treatments for diabetes. This review evaluates scientific advances in the anti-diabetic potential of traditional medicinal plants harvested in South Africa. Four electronic databases (Scopus, PubMed, Web of Science and African Index Medicus) were exhaustively … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 26, Issue 3 · 7 Oct 2026 · 456 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Aerobic Exercise on PPAR-γ Expression in Adipose Tissue and RT-PCR Detection AnalysisXiaodong Zhan, Chenguang Bi, Jie WeiThis study aimed to examine the effect of organized aerobic exercise on the expression level of Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor gamma (PPAR-γ) gene in adipose tissue by performing digital variant of RT-PCR, Droplet Digital PCR (ddPCR) which is a highly sensitive method for counting the gene copy numbers. The proposed scheme consists of three-stage analytical procedure, namely, Subphase I Controlled Aerobic … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 22, Issue 3 · 29 Sep 2026 · 580 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Sled Dog Model for Positive Health Effects of Weight Management and ExerciseLaura Falkenstein, Scott Jerome et al.Obesity is a significant risk factor for metabolic syndrome and type II diabetes. Physical activity and/or dietary modification can reduce the incidence of obesity. Marginal fitness levels limit the efficacy of exercise training, and most humans choose from a wide range of dietary strategies to lose weight. Despite these limitations, exercise in the absence of weight loss may offer protective … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 19, Issue 1 · 23 Feb 2023 · 6,151 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect 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 abstractMomordica 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 abstractWeight Gain, Conditioning and Metabolic Syndrome: A Sled Dog ModelAline Collin, Shannon Jimmie, Arleigh Reynolds et al.Type II Diabetes (T2D) and insulin resistance are growing national health concerns. Obesity is a risk factor for developing T2D and is associated with chronic and systemic inflammation. Exercise on the other hand has been shown to improve glucose metabolism and insulin sensitivity. We investigated the effects of conditioning and weight gain on adiponectin, tumor necrosis factor and glycosylated hemoglobin, … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 15, Issue 3 · 18 Aug 2019 · 7,728 accessesView PDFCite
