OBJECTIVE
The present study was designed to investigate the effects of the EtOH and H(2)O extracts of Selaginella tamariscina (Beauv.) Spring on hyperglycemia in diabetic rats and HepG2 cells, and to confirm the active fractions of EtOH extract in HepG2 cells.
METHODS
HepG2 cells and type II
The inheritance of major fatty acids in seed triglycerides was studied in three homozygous microspore-derived populations of spring rapeseed (Brassica napus L.). Crosses were made among parents with contrasting amounts of erucic, oleic, linoleic and linolenic acids. Microspores from F1 plants were
On the ground of the performed experimental investigations it has been shown that the "Marysieńka" water, given to rats intragastrically in a single daily dose of 14.3 cm3/kg body weight for the spans of 20 and 40 days and in the some spans of time as drinking water ad libitum, causes a
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the antidiabetic, antihyperlipidaemic and antioxidant activity of total flavonoids in Selaginella tamariscina (Beauv.) Spring (TFST) in a mouse model of diabetes.
METHODS
Normal mice, mice fed with a high-fat emulsion diet and streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic mice were
What is the central question of this study? Understanding molecular underpinnings of seasonal metabolic plasticity during spring and autumn migrations in songbirds. What is the main finding and its importance? We report differences in mRNA levels of genes involved in the regulation of A pilot study to improve unhealthy life habits of thirty middle-aged male clerical workers (45 +/- 3.58 yr.) with mild health disorders such as hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, diabetes mellitus and fatty liver was carried out. Under prohibition of smoking and alcohol intake, they spent five
Twenty Dorper × Pelibuey primiparous ewes were used to evaluate effects of seasonal ambient heat stress (i.e., spring vs. summer) on physiological and metabolic responses under production conditions in an arid region. Ten ewes experiencing summer heat stress (i.e., temperature = 34.8 ± 4.6 °C; THI =
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the anti-diabetic effects of the total flavonoids of Selaginella tamariscina (Beauv.) Spring (TFST), and to explore the pertinent mechanism.
METHODS
High fat diet and STZ (35 mg/kg) induced diabetic rats were administered with TFST at graded oral doses (100, 200 and
29 patients with arteriosclerosis obliterans and elevated level of cholesterol and/or triglycerides in blood received undiluted sulphur water from the spring Wiesław in Busko-Solec at the dose of 50 ml 3 times a day for 4 weeks. Such a treatment resulted in statistically significant decrease of
BACKGROUND
A number of health benefits including improvements in acid/base balance, bone metabolism, and cardiovascular risk factors have been attributed to the intake of magnesium rich alkaline mineral water. This study was designed to investigate the effects of the regular consumption of magnesium
Sunflower and rapeseed are among the most important sources of vegetable oil for food and industry. The main components of vegetable oil are triglycerides (TAGs) (about 97%). Ultra- performance liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (UPLC⁻MS) profiling of TAGs in sunflower and rapeseed
Spring-calving Brahman cows (S) artificially inseminated to Brahman, Angus, or Tuli sires and fall-calving Brahman cows (F) naturally bred to Brahman were allotted randomly to receive 3.74% (LF; n = 9 S and 6 F), 5.20% (MF; n = 8 S and 6 F), or 6.55% dietary fat (HF; n = 8 S). Diets were formulated
The possible interrelations between ascorbic acid, cholesterol and plasma triglycerides were studied in the residents of an old people's home. The study lasted about five months, from autumn to spring, and concerned 100 people in good health, both males and females, whose age varied from 70 to 84.
Examination of 71 patients with chronic pancreatitis (CP) has revealed that such patients had subnormal levels of antiproteolytic enzymes even in pancreatitis remission. Compared to women, men had higher total cholesterol (by 12.2%), triglycerides (by 13.3%), LDLP (by 19.3%), respectively, while
BACKGROUND
The mechanisms underlying individual animal predisposition to pasture-associated laminitis remain unclear; however, chronic inflammation is implicated.
OBJECTIVE
To identify differences in the inflammatory profile of a group of previously laminitic ponies compared with control animals at
