Propolis is a bee-collected natural product that has been proven to have various bioactivities. This study tested the effects of Mexican propolis on streptozotocin-induced diabetes mellitus in murine model. The results showed an ethanolic extract Chihuahua (EEPCh) significantly inhibited increases blood glucose and loss body weight diabetic mice. EEPCh increased plasma insulin levels STZ-diabetic mice, whereas, untreated there was no detection insulin. had high antioxidant capacity (SA
Abstract Cancer‐associated aberrant glycosylation can be detected by the macrophage galactose‐type C‐type lectin (MGL) receptor; however, whether this interaction enhances or deadens cancer development along with associated immune response has not been well established. To determine role of mouse MGL1 in colitis‐associated colon (CAC), azoxymethane (AOM)/dextran sodium sulfate (DSS)‐induced tumor was compared between Mgl1 knockout ( −/− ) mice and their wild‐type (WT) littermates. At 75 days...
University students are at high risk of sexually transmitted infections due to the lack adequate sexual education, as well multiple associated factors, which lead risky practices. It is important update data about behaviors identify main factors with behaviors. The present study aimed evaluate current prevalence practices in medical students. A cross-sectional was conducted among through an anonymous self-administered online questionnaire including demographic characteristics and We used...
Amphipterygium adstringens is an endemic species in Mexico commonly known as “cuachalalate.” Healers to treat gastritis, gastric ulcers, and gastrointestinal cancer have traditionally used the bark. We investigated effects of alcoholic extract A. (AaEE) DSS-induced colitis mice. The protective effect AaEE was determined at 200 mg/kg by oral gavage for 10 days. determine on clinical features (disease activity index), antioxidants, anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory activities relation SOD,...
Macrophage galactose-C type lectin (MGL)1 receptor is involved in the recognition of Trypanosoma cruzi (T. cruzi) parasites and important for modulation innate adaptive immune responses. However, mechanism by which MGL1 promotes resistance to T. remains unclear. Here, we show that knockout macrophages (MGL1−/− Mφ) infected vitro with were heavily parasitized showed decreased levels reactive oxygen species (ROS), nitric oxide (NO), IL-12 TNF-α compared wild-type (WT Mφ). MGL1−/− Mφ stimulated...
The fruit of Cyrtocarpa procera is used to treat stomach diseases by people living in San Rafael, Coxcatlan, Puebla. This work investigated the antibacterial, antioxidant, cytotoxic and anti-inflammatory activities produced this species. Methanol extract was obtained maceration. After obtaining methanol (MeOH1), subextract (MeOH2) hexane (H) were obtained. antibacterial MeOH1, MeOH2 H evaluated through disc-diffusion. quenching free radicals decolorizing a methanolic DPPH solution. activity...
Infections caused by micro-organisms of the genus Candida are becoming a growing health problem worldwide. These fungi opportunistic commensals that can produce infections-clinically known as candidiasis-in immunocompromised individuals. The indiscriminate use different anti-fungal treatments has triggered resistance species to currently used therapies. In this sense, propolis been shown have potent antimicrobial properties and thus be an approach for inhibition species. Therefore, work aims...
“Gordolobo”(Gnaphalium sp) is a Mexican medicinal plant understudied for the treatment of diabetes; therefore, aim was to evaluate chloroformic extract G sp. (CEG) in alloxan-induced diabetic rats. Sesquiterpene lactones, polyphenolic compounds, triterpenes and steroids, apigenin, lauric myristic acid were identified CEG by phytochemical, HPLC GC-MS analysis; antioxidant capacity evaluated FRAP, DPPH ABTS, inhibited formation free radicals. There no lethality or toxicity at doses 2000 mg/kg....
Bovine lactoferrin (bLf), a component of milk and dietary supplement, modulates intestinal immunity at effector inductor sites. Considering the regional difference in compartments dynamics local cytokine-producing cells gut across time, aim this work was to characterize effects bLf on proximal small intestine BALB/c murine model oral administration. Male mice were treated with vs. saline control as mock by buccal deposition for 28 days. Intestinal secretions obtained different time points...
Chronic inflammation has been related with cancer development by counteracting and unbalancing the immune response. The inflammatory cytokine macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) is overexpressed in many carcinogenic tumors, stimulates angiogenesis metastasis promoting proliferation survival malignant cells. In disease ulcerative colitis MIF early expressed favors production like TNF‐α, IL‐1β. As intestinal chronic may proceed to colorectal cancer, we are interested determining role...
