AbstractBackgroundThe present investigation focuses the diabetes-induced testicular hypofunction and its possible correction by the effective dose of ethyl-acetate fraction of methanolic extract ofMethodsThe androgenic, spermiological, oxidative stress and apoptosis sensors along with testicular genomic sensors were evaluated in a dose-dependent fashion (50 mg or 100 mg or 200 mg/kg body weight). Activities of hepatic transaminases for toxicity assessment were also measured.ResultsIncreased level of fasting blood glucose, testicular cholesterol, seminal vesicular fructose along with a low count, motility and viability of epididymal sperm, low activities of testicular Δ5, 3β-hydroxy steroid dehydrogenase (HSD), 17β-HSD, testicular antioxidant enzymes (catalase and superoxide dismutase) and low plasma level of testosterone were noted in diabetic rat in respect to the control. After oral administration of said fraction to diabetic rat, levels of above sensors were resettled toward the control. A significant decrease in the number of different generations of germ cells at the stage VII of spermatogenesis in diabetic rat was noted which were recovered significantly toward the control in the fraction-treated diabetic group. It was supported by the correction in gene expression of testicular Δ5, 3β- HSD, 17β- HSD, Bcl-2 and Bax in the fraction-treated diabetic group.ConclusionsThe threshold dose of ethyl-acetate fraction of methanolic extract of

Hair loss and baldness is one of the abnormalities in the hair that often occurs in both men and women. Many cosmetic products from natural to synthetic materials have been developed to overcome these problems, yet, synthetics product is potential to give side effects, such as local irritation. In this study, green tea (Camellia sinensis L.) leaves were used as active substances. The aim of this study was to attest the hair growth promoting activity of n-hexane, water, and ethyl acetate fractions from ethanolic extract of green tea leaves. Green tea leaves contain flavonoids which can help promoting hair growth. To obtain the compound, green tea leaves were made into ethanolic extract. The extract was obtained by maceration using 70% ethanol then partitioned using n-hexane, ethyl acetate, and water, to obtain the n-hexane, ethyl acetate, and water fractions. Ethyl acetate and water fractions have been shown to contain flavonoids, so it could continue the hair growth promoting activities with concentrations of 1% and 4%. Hair growth promoting activity was performed on rabbits. The results showed that 4% of water fraction containing flavonoids had the best hair growth promoting activity.

Green tea ( Camellia sinensis) leaves are known to contain active ingredients such as catechins and caffeine, and are widely useful materials. Recently, green tea flowers also have been in the spotlight. However, little attention has been paid to the tea seeds. In this work, the constituents of green tea seeds and green tea leaves were compared. Caffeine was found in the seeds, whereas catechins (usually obtained from green tea leaves) were not observed. Next, we investigated the constituents of hexane extracts and methanol extracts of green tea seeds. We found that the hexane extracts contained high amounts of oleic glyceride (79.9%) in addition to linoleic glyceride (20%). We confirmed the structures of these glycerides by NMR spectroscopy and by synthesis from a fatty acid and glycerol. The methanol extract was found to contain naringenin glucosides by mass spectrometry and NMR spectroscopic analysis.

Abstract Green tea (Camellia sinensis L.) has the main efficacy as an antioxidant and contains polyphenol compounds in green tea leaves with the main component of polyphenol fraction namely Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) which has strong activity to prevent free radicals that cause premature aging. Research has been carried out on the formulation of maskantioxidant preparations containing green tea leaf extract. The study begins with testing the antioxidant activity of ethanol extract of green tea leaves with a free radical reduction method of 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl using visible spectrophotometry. Testing of antioxidant activity showed that the ethanol extract of green tea leaves gave an IC50 value of 3.17µg / mL. Formulations of gel masks made were F0 (base without active substances), F1 (base + concentration of ethanol extract of green tea leaves for IC50 (0,000317%)), F2 (base + concentration of ethanol extract of green tea leaves for 50xIC50 (0, 0158%)), F3 (base + concentration of ethanol extract of green tea leaves for 100xIC50 (0.0317%)), F4 (base + concentration of ethanol extract of green tea leaves for IC50), F5 (base + concentration of ethanol extract of green tea leaves worth IC50), F6 (base + concentration of ethanol extract of green tea leaves for IC50. Evaluation of gel mask preparations include, organoleptic examination and homogeneity, pH, viscosity, dry time of preparation and testing of antioxidant stability. F2 provides better and higher free radical reduction activity than products on the market. F4, F5, F6 shows an increase in free radical reduction activity.   Keywords: Green tea leaves (Camellia sinensis L.), DPPh, IC50 gel mask.
