Effects of single intraperitoneal (i.p.) administration of carbon tetrachloride (CCl4), chloroform (CHCl3), and dichloromethane (CH2Cl2) on lipoproteins in plasma and liver were investigated in rats. Changes in lipoproteins caused by these solvents were compared with changes in traditional
OBJECTIVE
The aim is to evaluate the hypoglycemic and antidiabetic effects of aqueous and CH2Cl2/CH3OH stem bark extracts of Pterocarpus soyauxii Taub in normal and diabetic rats.
METHODS
Streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic and normal adult Wistar rats were orally administered with aqueous and
BACKGROUND
In Thai traditional medicine, rhizomes of Kaempferia parviflora (KP) have been used for treating hypertension and for the promotion of longevity with good health and well being. Ageing is one of the most important risk factors for development of cardiovascular disease. To investigate
BACKGROUND
Hypoglycemic and/or anti-hyperglycemic activities have been recorded with numerous plants, many of which are used as traditional herbal treatments of diabetes. Albizzia Lebbeck Benth. stem bark have been used in traditional medicine along with some preliminary reports on its hypoglycemic
High-fat diets increase risk for Alzheimer's disease, but individuals with the risk gene APOE ε4 (E4) paradoxically have improved memory soon after high fat feeding. Little is known about how dietary lipids affect CNS lipids, especially in older adults.We A fractionation methodology of fat, oil and grease (FOG) deposits was developed based on the insolubility of fatty acid salts in dichloromethane (DCM) and the relatively high solubility of fatty acids and triglycerides in DCM. Using this method, coupled with spectral analysis, it was shown that
For the determination of organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) in vegetable oils and oil seed samples, a solid-phase extraction method is described, modified from that developed by Steinwandter, with silica gel columns activated with a 10% water content. In comparison to the method developed by
The purpose of this study is to develop a higher sensitivity method to detect phospholipid peroxides in tissues to more effectively investigate the role of lipid peroxidation in pathology. We recently presented a gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) method for identification and measurement
Separative method of lipid classes from the stratum corneum was developed with packed silica and supercritical CO2 containing 10% of methanol at 15 degrees C, 15 MPa and 3 ml min(-1). The elution order of lipid classes was first esterified cholesterol, triglycerides, squalene co-eluted in a single
OBJECTIVE
This study was carried out to assess the anti-obesity effect of Hypericum silenoides Juss. and Hypericum philonotis Cham. & Schlecht. in male Wistar rats fed with a cafeteria diet.
METHODS
Adult male Wistar rats with an initial body weight of 290-320 g were used in this trial. The rats
The study is designed to find out the biochemical basis of antidiabetic property of Symplocos cochinchinensis (SC), the main ingredient of 'Nisakathakadi' an Ayurvedic decoction for diabetes. Since diabetes is a multifactorial disease, ethanolic extract of the bark (SCE) and its fractions (hexane,
BACKGROUND
To date, anti-obesity agents based on natural products are tested for their potential using lipase inhibition assay through the interference of hydrolysis of fat by lipase resulting in reduced fat absorption without altering the central mechanisms. Previous screening study had indicated
Male CF-1 mice (24 to 34 gm.) were exposed to either 250 p.p.m. or 1000 p.p.m. of 1,1,1-trichloroethane in air continuously for 14 weeks. Control mice were exposed to room air. Serial sacrifice of exposed and control mice from 1 to 14 weeks demonstrated significant changes in the centrilobular
PURPOSE
The reduction in nitric oxide (NO) bioavailability accelerates atherosclerosis development, augments lipolysis, elevates blood pressure and upregulate leukocyte level. This study was designed to examine the biochemical constituents of fractions of
PeristropheWinged beans were extracted with hexane and the extracted lipid was analyzed by HPLC for its triacylglycerol (triglyceride) composition on a Lichrosorb RP-18 column with acetonitrile-tetrahydrofuran-dichloromethane (6:2:1) solvent mixtures. The chromatography yielded more than 21 peaks, and each
