Cardiac Necrosis

Resistance to isoproterenol-induced cardiac necrosis (IPRO) was compared in rats exposed to two types of hypoxia (i.e., hypobaric and anemic). IPRO was induced by two consecutive, subcutaneous injections of isoproterenol (80 mg/kg) at 24-h intervals. The animals were killed on the third day and the severity of the lesion was evaluated on a 0 (no damage) to 4 (severely damaged) scale. White male rats (HA) were exposed in a barometric chamber to a simulated altitude of 7,000 m (307 mmHg) for 4 h/day for 24 days. Two groups of control rats were kept at sea level; one group (SLA) was the same age and one group (SLW) was the same weight as the altitude-exposed rats. The HA rats were significantly more resistant to IPRO with a mean necrogenic rating of 1.8 compared to 3.3 for the SLA and SLW rats. Infant rats (AA) were made anemic by feeding full-cream milk and glucose for 100 days after weaning. Two groups of control animals were fed a standard laboratory diet; one group (AC) was the same age and one group (AW) was the same weight as the AA rats. There was no significant difference in the necrogenic ratings of the AA (3.3), AC (3.5), or WC (3.7) hearts. Thus, hypobaric hypoxia affords some protection against IPRO which is not afforded by anemic hypoxia. Similarities and differences in the two hypoxias are discussed.

Mucuna pruriens, Ashwagandha, and Tribulus terrestris are known as the enhancers for sexual health, functional activities, vitality, and longevity. These herbs had been widely used in the Ayurveda medicine as aphrodisiacs through the ages, and their efficacy was also verified separately in our previous publication. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine the effects of Mucuna, Ashwagandha, and Tribulus complexes on sexual function in rats. Twenty-eight male rats allocated to four groups as follows: (i) negative control (C); (ii) positive control or sildenafil citrate treated group (5 mg/kg) (S); (iii) MAT1 (combination of 10 mg Mucuna (M) + 10 mg Ashwagandha (A) + 10 mg Tribulus (T)/kg BW); (iv) MAT 2 (20 mg Mucuna + 20 mg Ashwagandha + 20 mg Tribulus/kg BW). There was no significant difference found between the MAT1 and MAT2 groups while they showed significantly increased testosterone, follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), and luteinizing hormone (LH) levels when compared to the negative control. Significant increases in Nrf2/HO1 levels and decreases in NF-κB were detected in MAT groups similar to the decrease in serum and testis malondialdehyde (MDA) levels as compared to both controls. The sperm motility, count, and rate also significantly improved in both MAT groups, while ALT, AST, creatinine, ALP, and urea levels did not change in any of the groups. Oral consumption of MATs combination in male rats resulted in inhibition of NF-κB and MDA and also increased sex hormones with Nrf2-mediated HO-1 induction. MAT combinations may improve sexual functions by increasing levels of sexual hormones and regulation of NF-κB and Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathways.

Streptozotocin Induced Diabetes

According to the World Health Organization, cardiovascular diseases and diabetes mellitus occupy a significant niche in the structure of diseases with high disability and mortality impact and pose major healthcare and social issues. It should be stressed that 50-80% of fatal cases in patients with diabetes are associated with cardiovascular diseases. The purpose of this study is to determine the histostructural characteristics and to perform morphometric analysis of the components of the aortic wall and its hemomicrocirculatory bed of the aorta in 6 and 8 weeks of streptozotocin-induced diabetes mellitus. The material for the histological study included the sections of the wall of the ascending aorta, the aortic arch, and the descending aorta taken from 26 sexually mature white male rats weighing 100 - 160 g. For morphometric examination, a series of photos of the aortic wall was taken using a Meiji MT4300 LED microscope with an x40 objective, x10 ocular. The measurements were carried out using the Image J software. The development of micro - and macroangiopathies in experimental animals with 8-week streptozotocin-induced diabetes mellitus was histologically confirmed. Statistical analysis revealed a significant difference in all morphometric parameters of the components of the aortic wall and the vessels of its hemomicrocirculatory bed after 8 weeks of experimental diabetes as compared with the normal values, control values, and in values obtained at the 6-week period of the experiment. The study has demonstrated clear dependence between the severity of destructive changes in the aortic wall and sections of its hemomicrocirculatory bed and the duration of the experiment.

Inflammation is a local reaction in vascular tissue characterized by several symptoms, e.g.,  swelling, redness, and pain. Indonesia is one of the countries with high biodiversity, including traditional medicinal plants. Artocarpus altilis is one the plants that is widely used to treat inflammation. There is limited information on biological activity of A. altilis.This study was performed to evaluate anti-inflammatory properties  of A. altilis detached and attached leaves in Wistar male rats. A. altilis was extracted using soxhlet method at 67.4 0C with methanol solvent. Inflammation was induced by the administration of carrageenan to the rats paw. Subsequently, the extract of A. altilis were orally administered. The edema were measured using plethysmometer for 6 hours. We found that there were differences in anti-inflammatory activity between detached and attached leaves. The inhibition of edema in attached leaves were 50% and 53.33% for the concentration of 50 mg and 100 mg, respectively. The greater inhibiton was observed in the detached leaves, with 73.33% and 76.67% inhibition, for the concentration of 50 mg and 100 mg, respectively. Nevertheless, the inhibition percentage was still below diclofenac sodium as a positive control (83.33%).  In conclusion, A. altilis leaves extracts showed good anti-inflammatory properties and has the potential for development of anti-inflammatory drug.  Keywords: Artocarpus altilis, carageenan, inflammation, edema
