Syzygium cumini (L.) Skeels (Myrtaceae) has been traditionally used to treat a number of illnesses. Ethnopharmacological studies have particularly addressed antidiabetic and metabolic-related effects extracts prepared from its different parts, especially seed pulp-fruit, however there is lack on phytochemical profile biological properties leaf. As considerable interest in bioactive compounds metabolic syndrome clustered risk factors, we sought characterize the hydroethanolic extract S. leaf...
Abstract Background & Aims Obese protein malnourished mice display liver insulin resistance and taurine ( TAU ) seems to attenuate this effect. The association between early‐life malnutrition hepatic redox balance in diet‐induced is unknown. We investigated supplementation effects upon state signalling obese mice. Methods Weaned male C57 BL ‐6 were fed a control (14% – C) or protein‐restricted diet (6% R) for 6 weeks. Afterwards, received high‐fat (34% fat HFD 8 weeks CH RH ). Half of...
In the present study, we investigated relationship between early life protein malnutrition-induced redox imbalance, and reduced glucose-stimulated insulin secretion. After weaning, male Wistar rats were submitted to a normal-protein-diet (17%-protein, NP) or low-protein-diet (6%-protein, LP) for 60 days. Pancreatic islets isolated hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 ), oxidized (GSSG) (GSH) glutathione content, CuZn-superoxide dismutase (SOD1), peroxidase (GPx1) catalase (CAT) gene expression, as well...
The fruit bat Artibeus lituratus absorbs large amounts of glucose in short periods time and maintains normoglycemia even after a prolonged starvation period. Based on these data, we aimed to investigate various aspects related with homeostasis analyzing: blood insulin levels, intraperitoneal tolerance tests (ipGTT ipITT), glucose-stimulated secretion (2.8, 5.6 or 8.3 mmol/L glucose) pancreas fragments, cellular distribution beta cells, the amount pAkt/Akt pectoral muscle liver. Blood levels...
Nutrient restriction during the early stages of life usually leads to alterations in glucose homeostasis, mainly insulin secretion and sensitivity, increasing risk metabolic disorders adulthood. Despite growing evidence regarding importance clearance homeostasis health disease, no information exists about this process malnourished animals. Thus, present study, we aimed determine effect a nutrient-restricted diet on using model which 30-d-old C57BL/6 mice were exposed protein-restricted for...
Introduction Endurance training improves peripheral insulin sensitivity in the liver and skeletal muscle, but mechanism for this effect is poorly understood. Recently, it was proposed that clearance plays a major role both glucose homeostasis sensitivity. Therefore, our goal to determine by which endurance how regulates mice. Methods Mice were treadmill-trained 4 weeks at 70–80% of maximal oxygen consumption (VO2 max) 60 min, 5 days week. The tolerance resistance determined using an IPGTT...
The aim of the study was to investigate different B-cell responses after a glucagon stimulation test (GST) versus mixed meal tolerance (MMTT).We conducted GST and MMTT in 10 healthy people (aged 25-40 years) measured C-peptide, gastric inhibitory peptide (GIP) glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) at time points administration 1 mg i.v. for or liquid MMTT.The stimulated C-peptide showed mean increase 147.1%, whereas 99.82% (Δincrease = 47.2%). Maximum level reached with greater than that obtained...

Syzygium cumini (L.) Skeels (Myrtaceae) has been traditionally used to treat of metabolic disorders, especially diabetes mellitus. Although there are many studies extracts from seed and fruit pulp, the works with leaves scarce. As is considerable interest in bioactive compounds syndrome its clustered risk factors, we sought characterize effects hydroethanolic extract S. (HESc) on lean monosodium L‐glutamate(MSG)‐induced obese rats. At 60 days age, both groups were randomly assigned receive...
Synthetic glucocorticoids (GCs) are pontent and widely used anti‐inflammatory immunosuppressant agents. However, prolonged or high‐dose usage of GCs promote several side effects, especially on glucose lipid metabolism. In spite the abovementioned factors, there is scanty data differential impact distinct synthetic GC metabolic targets, particularly glycolipidic homeostasis. Thus, this work aimed to assess alterations caused by subchronic treatment with prednisone in comparison acute...
