AS101 prevents diabetic nephropathy progression and mesangial cell dysfunction: regulation of the AKT downstream pathway.

PLoS ONE 9(12) , e114287, (2014)

Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is characterized by proliferation of mesangial cells, mesangial expansion, hypertrophy and extracellular matrix accumulation. Previous data have cross-linked PKB (AKT) to TGFβ induced matrix modulation. The non-toxic compound AS101 h...

Fungal metabolite nigerloxin ameliorates diabetic nephropathy and gentamicin-induced renal oxidative stress in experimental rats.

Naunyn Schmiedebergs Arch. Pharmacol. 387(9) , 849-59, (2014)

Elevated polyol pathway enzyme activities and oxidative stress play an important role in the development and progression of diabetic nephropathy. Here, we investigated the beneficial influence of nigerloxin, a fungal metabolite and a potent aldose reductase i...

Therapeutic Effects of Bupleurum Polysaccharides in Streptozotocin Induced Diabetic Mice.

PLoS ONE 10 , e0133212, (2015)

Diabetes mellitus is related to low-grade chronic inflammation and oxidative stress. Bupleurum Polysaccharides (BPs), isolated from Bupleurum smithii var. parvifolium has anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative properties. However, little is known about its ther...

Hypoglycemic, antihyperglycemic, and antioxidant effects of the edible plant Anoda cristata.

J. Ethnopharmacol. 161 , 36-45, (2015)

Some studies refer that the entire plant of Anoda cristata is consumed as food and medicine; in particular for treating diabetes, inflammation, fever, cough, and wounds. The aim of this study was to establish the preclinical efficacy of Anoda cristata as hypo...

The tumor necrosis factor superfamily members TWEAK, TNFSF15 and fibroblast growth factor-inducible protein 14 are upregulated in proliferative diabetic retinopathy.

Ophthalmic Res. 53(3) , 122-30, (2015)

Tumor necrosis factor-like weak inducer of apoptosis (TWEAK) and tumor necrosis factor superfamily member 15 (TNFSF15), members of the TNF superfamily, play important roles in the modulation of inflammation and neovascularization. TWEAK activity is mediated v...

A comparative study on effect of metformin and metformin-conjugated nanotubes on blood glucose homeostasis in diabetic rats.

Eur. J. Drug Metab. Pharmacokinet. 40 , 343-8, (2015)

Diabetes mellitus is one of the most prevalent metabolic disorders. Carbon nanotubes have the advantage to cross the plasma membrane without damaging the cells, improving the biological effect of a drug and reducing its side effects. In the present study, the...

Mutual enhancement between high-mobility group box-1 and NADPH oxidase-derived reactive oxygen species mediates diabetes-induced upregulation of retinal apoptotic markers.

J. Physiol. Biochem. 71 , 359-72, (2015)

The expression of the proinflammatory cytokine high-mobility group box-1 (HMGB1) is upregulated in epiretinal membranes and vitreous fluid from patients with proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) and in the diabetic retina. We hypothesized that a novel mec...

Pigment epithelium-derived factor inhibits retinal microvascular dysfunction induced by 12/15-lipoxygenase-derived eicosanoids.

Biochim. Biophys. Acta 1851(3) , 290-8, (2015)

We recently demonstrated that 12/15-lipoxygenase (LOX) derived metabolites, hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acids (HETEs), contribute to diabetic retinopathy (DR) via NADPH oxidase (NOX) and disruption of the balance in retinal levels of the vascular endothelial grow...

Nitric oxide affects UbcH10 levels differently in type 1 and type 2 diabetic rats.

J. Surg. Res. 196 , 180-9, (2015)

Nitric oxide (NO) more effectively inhibits neointimal hyperplasia in type 2 diabetic versus nondiabetic and type 1 diabetic rodents. NO also decreases the ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme UbcH10, which is critical to cell-cycle regulation. This study seeks to de...

Distribution of nociceptin in pancreatic islet cells of normal and diabetic rats.

Pancreas 44(4) , 602-7, (2015)

Nociceptin has been reported to play an important role in the regulation of pancreatic exocrine secretion. Most of the studies performed on nociceptin are mainly physiological rather than morphological in nature. The present study investigated the pattern of ...
