Objective - Diabetic hepatotoxicity involves complex events which include kupffer cell activation, formation of reactive oxygen species, cytokines release (TNF-α, IL-1β), and finally leads to hepatocyte death. “β- Aescin showed anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant, gastroprotective and anti-oedema properties. The present study investigated the protective effect of β- Aescin in streptozotocin induced diabetic hepatotoxicity. Method - Female mice were divided into six groups, the first group served as the control, the second to sixth group received single i.p. dose of 90 mg/kg of STZ, the second group served as the untreated diabetic group, the third, fourth and fifth group received β- aescin intra-peritoneally at the dose of 0.9 mg/kg, 1.8 mg/kg and 3.6 mg/kg body weight respectively. The last sixth group was treated with 10 mg/kg glibenclamide i.p. for 14 days. A significant decrease in the blood glucose level was showed in β-aescin group as compared to the control group. Result - A significant increase of blood glucose level was observed in high and mid dose of β- aescin (3.6 mg/kg and 1.8 mg/kg respectively), standard drug (glibenclamide 10 mg/kg) groups as compared to control group. ROS generation was evaluated by using DCF-DA estimation method for the acute toxicity in liver tissue. Streptozotocin group showed more ROS generation in comparison to β- aescin group (3.6 mg/kg). Serum biochemical markers showed a significant decrease in β- aescin treated diabetic mice compared to untreated diabetic mice. Histopathological evaluation showed severe changes in untreated diabetic liver tissue marked by large number of inflammatory cells such as lymphocytes along with hepatic sinusoidal inflammation and hepatocyte necrosis whereas treated diabetic mice with β- aescin showed reduction in hepatotoxicity marked by regeneration changes of hepatocytes and mildly hepatocyte degeneration. Conclusion - In the study, β- aescin showed beneficial effects on the efficient properties of the liver and microscopic improvements in diabetic hepatotoxicity.

The Parthenium hysterophorus (P. hysterophorus) is used to treat diabetes mellitus in local medicinal system of Pakistan but very limited scientifically proved information is available in this context. The objective of this work was to evaluate the antioxidant and antidiabetic activity of P. hysterophorus leaf extract. The extraction was made with freeze drying assisted ultrasonication using 40%, 60% and 80% ethanol as solvent. The total phenolic and flavonoid contents were calculated. Antioxidant activity was determined by 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) assay and α-glucosidase inhibitory assay was also performed. The in vivo hypoglycemic potential of leaf extract was determined in alloxan monohydrate induced diabetic mice. The 60% ethanolic extract exhibited comparatively higher phenolic and flavonoid contents with values of 105.44±2.55 mg GAE/g D.E and 41.50±2.25 mg RE/g D.E, respectively. The 60% extract also possessed lowest IC50 value of 87.55 μg/mL and 98.22 μg/mL for DPPH radical scavenging and α-glucosidase inhibition, respectively. The same extract substantially reduced the blood glucose level in alloxan induced diabetic mice and results were quite comparable with standard drug metformin. The extract dose of 450 mg/kg reduced the blood glucose level of diabetic mice from 268.05 mg/dL 137.88 mg/dL at the end of 28 days treatment. The findings confirmed the ethnopharmacological use of P. hysterophorus to treat and manage diabetes mellitus type 2. The experimental outcomes may be employed as pharmacological leads to treat diabetes mellitus and to develop functional foods with hypoglycemic attributes.

Diabetes is a chronic disease which characterized by hyperglycemia (elevated or abnormally high blood sugar levels) and other metabolic disturbances, including metabolism of lipids and haemostasis. Caesalpinia pulcherrima has previously showed strong anti-diabetic and hepatoprotective potential. The present research work was to investigate the anti-diabetic activity and hepatoprotective activity Caesalpinia pulcherrima in streptozotocin-induced (STZ) diabetic rats. The dose-dependent effects of 45days oral treatment with methanol extract of plant (200 and 300mg/kg) of CPAE on body weight, blood glucose level, total protein, albumin, liver marker enzymes and carbohydrate metabolizing enzymes were evaluated in STZ-induced diabetic rats. Oral administration methanolic extract of Caesalpinia pulcherrima of showed significant restoration of the body weight and decrease in the blood glucose level, liver marker enzymes (ALT, AST ALP) and carbohydrate metabolizing enzymes were observed in diabetic rats. These results suggest that fruit extract of Caesalpinia pulcherrima has valuable anti-diabetic activity in STZ-induced diabetic rats which is comparable to the standard drug metformin and hence might be of use in the management of diabetes.

Diabetes Type 2 can cause oxidative stress leading to the accumulation of reactive oxygen species. Soyferment-Tempeh, a fermented soybean product with aerobic and anaerobic R. oligosporus incubation has a high antioxidant content of isoflavones that can regulate oxidative stress in diabetes. In this study, we evaluate the effects of Soyferment-Tempeh on lipid profile, Retinol-Binding Protein 4 (RBP4), and Phosphoenolpyruvate Carboxykinase (PEPCK) gene expression in type 2 diabetic mice. A total of 30 mice with the age of eight weeks were divided into six groups as follows: A) nondiabetic, B) diabetic mice, C) diabetic mice with metformin, D), E), and F) diabetic mice with Soyferment-Tempeh doses of 10, 20, or 40mg/100g body weight (BW), respectively, were administered treatments orally by gavages. Blood was collected for assessment of blood glucose level, and lipid profile before and after 3 weeks of the administration. After sacrificing the mice, livers were used for RBP4 and PEPCK gene expression assessment. Supplementation with three different doses of Soyferment-Tempeh in streptozotocin-induced diabetic mice for 21 days significantly (p<0.001) reduced blood glucose level, total cholesterol, triglycerides, low-density lipoprotein level, atherogenic index, and increased high-density lipoprotein level. There was a significant decrease in RBP4 gene expression in the Soyferment-Tempeh of dose 10mg/100g BW treatment groups (p<0.05), while the PEPCK gene expression did not significantly differ (p>0.05). These results demonstrate that supplementation with Soyferment-Tempeh decreases blood glucose level, atherogenic index, improves lipid profile, and decreases RBP4.

The fruits of Stixis suaveolens (Roxb.) have been a popular folk medicine among traditional practitioners. However, there are questions about its traditional uses due to lack of scientific evidence. This study was aimed to evaluate the effects of crude methanol extract of fruits of S. suaveolens in mice model. The central and peripheral analgesic activity were evaluated using the ‘tail flick’ and ‘writhing’ assay respectively. The anti-hyperglycemic potential was assessed by the ability of the crude extract in reducing blood glucose level in mice after oral administration of glucose. Oral administration (400 mg/kg bw) of the extract showed significant (p<0.001) delay in pain sensation and inhibition of acetic acid induced writhing response in mice model. The results were compared with the respective standard morphine (2 mg/kg bw) and diclofenac (50 mg/kg bw). Likewise, in anti-hyperglycemic assay, maximum reduction (p<0.001) of blood glucose level (39.6%) was observed 120 min after oral intake (400 mg/kg bw) of the extract as compared that exhibited by the standard drug, glibenclamide (46.83%). The in vivo bioassays confirmed that the crude methanolic extract of fruits of S. suaveolens possesses significant central- and peripheral-analgesic as well as anti-hyperglycemic activities. These findings justify its popularity as a traditional medicine and hence demands future study involving isolation and characterization of its bioactive compounds.
