The anti-diabetic activity of oat β-d-glucan in streptozotocin–nicotinamide induced diabetic mice

“…It can be classified into types 1 (insulin-dependent diabetes) and 2 (non-insulin-dependent diabetes) [1]. Obesity-associated diabetes is mainly found in Western countries [2], whereas the majority of diabetes that is not associated with obesity is found in eastern countries, such as China, Korea and Japan [2,3].…”

Anthocyanins, Phenolics, and Antioxidant Capacity of Vaccinium L. in Texas, USA

“…Edible berries are rich in antioxidants, anthocyanins (ACY) and other phenolic compounds that have demonstrated the ability to reduce risk for development or treatment of cancers [1][2][3][4][5][6], cardiovascular disorders [5,7,8], obesity, diabetes [9,10], aging-diseases [11,12], urinary tract infections [13][14][15][16], and periodontal disease [15,17,18]. Berries and leaves of Vaccinium L. (family Ericaceae) have been an important source of food and pharmaceutical ingredients and are considered to have high antioxidant potential [3,19,20].…”

“…The leaf, fruit, and stem extracts of the lowbush blueberry and leaf extract of V. bracteatum Thunb. indicated an opportunity for use as a complementary anti-diabetic therapy [9,10]. Cranberries (particularly in the form of cranberry juice) have been widely used for several decades for the prevention and treatment of urinary tract infections (UTIs) [27].…”

Comparative and Mixture Effect of Cynodon Dactylon, ElectroMagnetic Field and Insulin on Diabetic Mouse

“…Eghdami et al (19) reported that the blood glucose level of mice, who were subjected to a field of 25 Hz and intensity of 250 μT for 45 minutes for 2 weeks, is decreased more efficienlyt than with metphormine and insulin. Sieroń et al (4) 3 H uptake in organs and tissues of rat in the exposure to an extremely low electromagnetic field. They subjected the rats to the electromagnetic field with frequency of 10 Hz and intensity of 1.8-3.8 mT for one hour in 14 days.…”
