Antioxidative, Antidiabetic, and Hypolipidemic Properties of Probiotic-Enriched Fermented Camel Milk Combined with Salvia officinalis Leaves Hydroalcoholic Extract in Streptozotocin-Induced Diabetes in Rats

Abstract

Antioxidative, antidiabetic, and hypolipidemic properties of probiotic-enriched fermented camel milk (FCM) combined with Salvia officinalis L. leaves hydroalcoholic extract (SOHE) in streptozotocin-induced diabetes in rats were investigated. Phytochemicals analysis and antioxidant capacity indicated that S. officinalis contained high phenolics with super antioxidant activity. Subsequently, HPLC analysis demonstrated 13 phenolic acids and 14 flavonoids in considerable amounts with ferulic acid and resveratrol as predominant, respectively. The antidiabetic and hypolipidemic properties of FCM and SOHE were examined in a designed animal model consisting of seven treated groups for four weeks. There was a negative group (G1); the positive group (G2) received a single dose (50 mg kg−1) of streptozotocin (STZ) by intraperitoneal injection (i.p.); in G3, diabetic rats (DRs) orally received 5 mL FCM kg−1 daily; in G4, DRs orally received 50 mg GAE SOHE kg−1 daily; in G5, DRs orally received 5 mL FCM contains 25 mg GAE SOHE kg−1 daily; in G6, DRs orally received 5 mL FCM contains 50 mg GAE SOHE kg−1 daily; in G7, DRs orally received 50 mg metformin kg−1 daily. Combining FCM with SOHE at 25 or 50 mg kg−1 exhibited a synergistic effect in significantly lowering random blood glucose (RBG), fasting blood glucose (FBG), and improved weight gain recovery %. The hypolipidemic effect of FCM + 50 mg GAE SOHE kg−1 was significantly higher than using FCM or SOHE individually, and attenuation in triglycerides (TG), total cholesterol (CHO), and high- and low-density lipoproteins (HDL and LDL), and very-low-density lipoproteins (VLDL) was remarked. Combining FCM with SOHE at 25 or 50 mg kg−1 ameliorated liver and kidney functions better than individual uses of FCM, SOHE, or metformin. Interestingly, FCM with 50 mg SOHE kg−1 presented significant improvement in the activity of antioxidant enzymes, reduced glutathione (GSH), catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and a substantial reduction in malonaldehyde (MDA) levels with 53.75%, 89.93%, 63.06%, and 58.69% when compared to the STZ group (G2), respectively. Histopathologically, administrating FCM + 25, 50 mg SOHE kg−1 or 50 mg kg−1 metformin showed a normal histological structure of both islets of Langerhans cells and acini. In conclusion, combining FCM with SOHE presented synergistic and therapeutical efficacy. It could be beneficial and profitable for controlling diabetes mellitus complications and protecting against oxidative stress.

Empagliflozin alleviates diabetic nephropathy in albino rats through its antioxidative and anti-inflammatory action

“…Similar results regarding the oxidative stress markers were recorded in previous studies showed that diabetic rats had much higher renal MDA levels than control animals, along with significantly lower levels of antioxidant enzymes, GSH, and SOD. (18,19).…”

Ameliorative and Antioxidative Potential of Lactobacillus plantarum-Fermented Oat (Avena sativa) and Fermented Oat Supplemented with Sidr Honey against Streptozotocin-Induced Type 2 Diabetes in Rats

“…These results agree with multiple studies [ 11 , 42 ]; the long fermentation time (72 h) resulted in the most significant increase in total phenolic compounds. Biologically, phenolic compounds are considered as health-promoting agents [ 43 , 44 , 45 , 46 ]. Cereal fermentation can modify the presence of these compounds due to enzymatic activities derived from both the grains and the microbes [ 23 ]; enzymes such as glycosidase, hydrolase, esterase, and β-glucosidase produced by different types of bacterial strains can improve the availability of the grains’ phenolic compounds [ 11 ].…”

“…Furthermore, significant differences in liver and kidney diagnostic markers were observed in the treated groups compared to the positive control group. The significant increase in ALT, AST, ALP, and T. Bili enzyme activities in the positive control group due to the STZ injection represents normal deterioration associated with diabetic liver injury [ 44 , 46 ]. The intervention of all subjected extracts resulted in significant improvements in balancing the liver enzyme levels in a dose- and type-dependent manner.…”

Phenolics and Volatile Compounds of Fennel (Foeniculum vulgare) Seeds and Their Sprouts Prevent Oxidative DNA Damage and Ameliorates CCl4-Induced Hepatotoxicity and Oxidative Stress in Rats

“…Antioxidant potential, regulation of blood pressure, interaction with gut microbiota, suppression of pro-inflammatory cytokine overproduction, and activation of antioxidant enzymes are only some of the mechanisms by which functional foods have been demonstrated to aid in disease control [ 32 , 48 , 49 ]. Biologically active substances like phenolic compounds have been lauded for their ability to combat metabolic diseases and as effective antioxidant substances, neutralizing free radicals including hydrogen peroxide, hydroxyl radicals, and superoxide anion [ 50 ].…”
