“…The serum level of TG in the diabetic rats treated with U. dioica was significantly lower than diabetic rats exposed to L. album extract. Our result is in consistent with that of Shahraki et al (2013) who reported that the treatment with U. dioica caused remarkable decreases in the serum TG concentration when compared to diabetic rats. However in contrast to our present study, Ahangarpour et al (2012) showed significantly increased TG in diabetic rats treated with the U. dioica.…”

“…These findings were consistent with those of Ahangarpour A et al study (2012), who reported the U. dioica extract remarkably decreased the level of serum LDL and LDL/HDL ratio. Our results were in accordance with those of Shahraki et al (2013) who found that the diabetic rats treated with U. dioica had a remarkable decrease in the level of serum total cholesterol, LDL compared with those of diabetic rats. Dahr et al (2006) also showed that the extract of U. dioica reduced the level of LDL and cholesterol in hypercholestromic diet male rats.…”

Objectives: Diabetes mellitus, the most common endocrine disorder, is defined by hyperglycaemia. Urtica dioica or stinging nettle is known to have antidiabetic effects. Lamium album or non stinging nettle is shown to have some beneficial effects such as antioxidant, and cytoprotective properties. The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of hydroalchoholic extract of L. album and U. dioica on serum glucose, lipids and hepatic enzymes level in sterptozotocin induced diabetic rats. Methods: Thirty-two male Wistar rats were randomly assigned into four groups; normal control, diabetic control, diabetic treated with U. dioica (100 mg/kg/daily), diabetic treated with L. album (100 mg/kg/daily) for 28 days. Serum glucose, cholesterol, triglyceride (TG), alanin trasaminase (ALT), alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and aspartate transaminase (AST) were measured. Results: U. dioica and L. album extracts caused significant decrease (p

“…The growth performance of cultured fish species is primarily influenced by food additives capable of stimulating digestive enzymes and synthesizing vitamins, proteins, essential amino acids and unsaturated fatty acids, resulting in increased food utilization and weight gain (Dawood, Koshio, Ishikawa, Yokoyama, et al, 2016; Van Hai, 2015; Radhakrishnan et al, 2014). Shahraki et al (2017) showed that the administration of aqueous extract of tarragon could have a considerable impact on the regulation of carbohydrate metabolism in the body of laboratory rats. They found that the active ingredients in AD extract could increase glucose uptake in cells by increasing the sensitivity to insulin (Ribnicky et al, 2004).…”

The current research was conducted to examine the effect of Artemisia dracunculus (AD) extract on growth performance, haemato‐immunological, biochemical parameters, and mucosal immunity in the rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). The fish were fed with a diet supplemented with 0 (control), 1%, 2% and 3% AD for 8 weeks. The findings indicated that in all groups fed AD, especially at the 2% level, the growth parameters and survival rate significantly increased compared with the control group. Blood biochemical parameters, creatinine, glucose, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and triglyceride were decreased significantly in AD‐treated groups. Total serum protein (TSP) levels, lysozyme (LYZ) and respiratory burst activities (RBA) were increased in the fish fed with AD. TSP levels, ALP and protease (PA) activities in the mucus were significantly increased following fish fed with AD. Increased in the total immunoglobulins (Ig) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity were observed in the fish fed with 3% AD. Fish fed with 2% AD showed the highest levels of alternative complement (ACH50) significantly. In addition, the mucus bactericidal activity was significantly increased in some treatments fed AD diet against Lactococcus garvieae and Aeromonas hydrophila. After infection with Yersinia ruckeri, there was a reduction in the mortality rate in the AD‐fed groups compared with the control group. Thus, it can be concluded that diets supplemented with AD can significantly impact diverse physiological parameters in fish, improving their growth performance, blood biochemical parameters and immune response.

“…Outros estudos elucidaram bem as atividades antidiabética e hipogliceimiante da planta (GUPTA et al, 2011;LANJHIYANA et al, 2011;SHAHRAKI et al, 2009), encontrando melhora significativa da insulina plasmática em animais portadores de diabetes e redução significativa da glicose de jejum, além de melhora importante nos parâmetros que revelam distúrbios no metabolismo de lipídios, pela diminuição de colesterol, triglicérides, ácidos graxos livres e fosfolipídios em animais submetidos ao tratamento com o extrato em gel de Aloe vera (RAJASEKARAN et al, 2006). O potencial cicatrizante (FALEIRO et al, 2009;MAENTHAISONG et al, 2007;OLIVEIRA et al, 2010) foi evidenciado em muitos estudos, através da maior recuperação na contração das feridas nos experimentos realizados com esse vegetal, comparando-o com o placebo ou com outros tipos de cicatrizantes.…”

Aloe vera é considerada a espécie mais biologicamente ativa e comercializada do gênero Aloe L. e vem sendo utilizada há muito tempo com finalidade terapêutica, devido às propriedades antiinflamatórias e antibacterianas de substâncias ativas que estão concentradas no gel e na casca das folhas de Aloe vera. O presente artigo teve como objetivo revisar a utilização da planta Aloe vera como fim terapêutico, descrevendo as aplicações clínicas, e contemplar relatos de toxicidade em relação ao uso não tópico da planta em uma revisão crítica de artigos sobre o tema, publicados principalmente em revistas indexadas nas bases de dados da SCIELO, BIREME e LILACS. Foram observadas as mais variadas aplicações clínicas da planta Aloe vera, como diminuição dos níveis de açúcar no sangue e de colesterol, anti-inflamatório, potente cicatrizante, anticâncer, antimicrobiano, dentre muitas outras. Algumas pesquisas mostraram alguns efeitos indesejáveis do uso desse vegetal em doses elevadas e dependendo da forma de administração. Entretanto, em doses aceitáveis, há corroboração científica de benefícios ao organismo em diferentes condições clínicas. A Agência Nacional de Vigilância Sanitária (Anvisa) respalda o uso de produtos a base de Aloe vera, tanto como medicamentos para fins cicatrizantes, como em bebidas a base dessa planta. Dessa forma, o profissional de saúde fica amparado para a utilização racional desses produtos, a fim de se obter os benefícios desejados.
