The antidiabetic activity of two low doses ofMoringaseed powder (50 and 100 mg/kg body weight, in the diet) on streptozotocin (STZ) induced diabetes male rats was investigated. Forty rats were divided into four groups. The diabetic positive control (STZ treated) group showed increased lipid peroxide, increased IL-6, and decreased antioxidant enzyme in the serum and kidney tissue homogenate compared with that of the negative control group. Immunoglobulins (IgA, IgG), fasting blood sugar, and glycosylated hemoglobin(HbA1c)were also increased as a result of diabetes in G2 rats. Moreover albumin was decreased, and liver enzymes andα-amylase were not affected. In addition, the renal functions and potassium and sodium levels in G2 were increased as a sign of diabetic nephropathy. Urine analysis showed also glucosuria and increased potassium, sodium, creatinine, uric acid, and albumin levels. Kidney and pancreas tissues showed also pathological alteration compared to the negative control group. Treating the diabetic rats with 50 or 100 mgMoringaseeds powder/kg body weight in G3 and G4, respectively, ameliorated the levels of all these parameters approaching the negative control values and restored the normal histology of both kidney and pancreas compared with that of the diabetic positive control group.

ABSTRACT: Objectives: This study aimed to determine the effects of propolis on immune mediators and tissue histopathology in rats with L-arginine-induced acute pancreatitis (AP). Methods: This study was conducted at Imam Abdulrahman Bin Faisal University, Dammam, Saudia Arabia between September and November 2017. A total of 24 male albino Wistar rats were divided into three equal groups. Group one was the negative control, group two was the positive control (L-arginine-induced AP) and group three received treatment (L-arginineinduced AP and propolis). The rats in group three were treated with 100 mg/kg propolis for seven days after AP induction. Pancreatic tissue was evaluated histologically and levels of interleukin (IL)-6, IL-22 and IL-1β and tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) were measured. Results: Propolis reduced the quanitity of proinflammatory molecules (TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6) in group three compared to group two, significantly increased the overall anti-inflammatory effect of IL-22 (P <0.005) and reduced interstitial inflammation and neutrophil cell infiltration of the pancreatic tissues. Conclusion: Propolis may exert a therapeutic effect in AP. Further studies are required to demonstrate the mechanisms of propolis in AP.Keywords: Propolis; Arginine; Pancreatitis; Interleukins; Cytokinesis; Rats; Saudi Arabia.

Among researchers, environmental pollutants and their contribution to male fertility are still being discussed. The use of antioxidants manages to boost the reproductive system with the scavenging of free radicals. This study aimed to investigate the inhibiting function of Vitamin E (VE) on Bisphenol-A (BPA) toxicity in the male rats’ reproductive system. Male rats were divided into 4 groups: control (negative control) group, BPA group treated by 250 mg/kg/day (positive control), VE group treated by 150 mg/kg/day (comparative control) and BPA + VE group that received both doses at the same time (Oral treatment by gavage; 56 days). Sperm parameters, testicular tissue morphometric and biochemical tests were evaluated. Sperm count, motility, viability, normal morphology, sperm tail length, spermatogenesis index and serum testosterone levels significantly decreased in the BPA group compared to the control group. Versus a significant enhancement in the positive-TUNEL germinal cells and serum malondialdehyde (MDA) levels were observed. Moreover, BPA exhibited no effect on sperm maturity and DNA integrity. In the simultaneous treatment group (BPA + EV), VE could improve and regulate all the mentioned parameters within the control group range. As mentioned, there was a significant difference in the results in the positive control group compared to the negative control group. But these data improved significantly in the BPA + VE. It can be concluded that in this group, VE was able to overcome the toxicity caused by positive control in their simultaneous treatment and maintain the data at the negative control group range. Therefore, no significant change was observed in the BPA + VE group compared to the negative control group.

This survey evaluated mombin leaves (Spondias mombin L.) decoction efficiency as an antiseptic during post-surgery period on cats submitted to orchiectomy and ovariosalpingohisterectomy. For this purpose, 45 castrated mongrels cats were divided into three groups, the first group as a positive control using 0.5% chlorhexidine-alcohol solution, the second a negative control group using sterile distilled water and, finally, the test group using mombin leaves decocted with a concentration of 100 mg/mL. All animals, independent of age and sex, had visibly healed in most cases in a similar time. Animals treated with mombin leaves decoction presented a significant reduction of bacterial growth. In addition, the animals treated in the test group had better surgical wound healing. All isolated bacterial strains presented inhibition halo for chlorhexidine and for Spondias mombin L. Thus, the decoction of Spondias mombin L. leaves proved antiseptic efficacy in the surgical wounds of cats submitted to orchiectomy and ovariosalpingohisterectomy.
