Glucotoxicity Induced Oxidative Stress and InflammationIn VivoandIn VitroinPsammomys obesus: Involvement of Aqueous Extract ofBrassica rapa rapifera

Abstract

Context. Brassica rapa is considered as natural source of antioxidants and is used to treat diabetes. Objective. Our study carried the impact of glucotoxicity induced in vivo and in vitro in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) in Psammomys and the therapeutic effect of Brassica rapa (AEBr). Materials and Methods. We administered a hyperglucidic diet (30% sucrose) for 9 months and a treatment for 20 days with AEBr at 100 mg/kg. VSMCs were submitted to D-Glucose (0.6%) for 48 hours and treated with AEBr (2100 μg/mL) for 24 hours. We measured, in blood metabolic parameters, the redox statues and inflammatory markers in adipose tissue. Histological study was effectuated in liver. In VSMCs, we measured markers of glucotoxicity (IRS1p Serine, AKT) inflammation (NO, MCP1, TNFα, and NF-κB) and oxidative stress (oxidants and antioxydants markers). Cell viability and apoptosis were estimated by the morphological study. Results. AEBr corrects the metabolic parameters and inflammatory and oxidative markers in blood and homogenate tissue and reduces lipid droplets in liver. It induces, in VSMCs, a significant decrease of IRS1p serine, cyt c, NO, MCP1, TNFα, NF-κB, protein, and lipid oxidation and increases cell viability, AKT, ERK1/2, catalase, and SOD activity. Conclusion. Brassica enhanced the antidiabetic, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant defense leading to the protection of cardiovascular diseases.

Effects of Silymarin on Diabetes Mellitus Complications: A Review

“…When these animals receive a high‐fat diet, they develop diabetes, obesity, and metabolic syndrome. For this reason, this species is frequently used as an animal model of human diabetes (Berdja et al, ; Bolton et al, ; Scherzer et al, ). Bouderba et al .…”

The Impact of Diabetes Mellitus in COVID-19: A Mechanistic Review of Molecular Interactions

“…Glucotoxicity is also able to induce other pathophysiologic pathways as oxidative stress, inflammation, fibrosis, apoptosis, and necrosis in multiple tissues [ 69 ]. Hence, it is now accepted that glucotoxicity has major indirect roles in hyperglycemia-dependent histological damages in various tissues including the lungs and respiratory tract [ 70 – 72 ].…”

Anti-Glycemic and Anti-Hepatotoxic Effects of Mangosteen Vinegar Rind from Garcinia mangostana Against HFD/STZ-Induced Type II Diabetes in Mice

“…Several studies found that the polyphenolic compounds found in Aegle marmelos, Commiphora mukul, green tea, cinnamon and ginger have hepatoprotective properties in different animal models [Elgawish et al, 2015;Ismail, 2014;Ramesh et al, 2015;Suriyamoorthy et al, 2014]. HFD/STZ induction produces high glucose levels in diabetic mice [Li et al, 2014], leading to oxidative damage and induced hepatotoxicity [Berdja et al, 2016;Cordero-Herrera et al, 2015]. In this study, HFD/ STZ-induced diabetic model had signifi cantly (P<0.05) higher glucose levels than the normal control group.…”
