Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of bacoside A on brain antioxidant status in cigarette smoke exposed rats.
TL;DR: It is suggested that chronic cigarette smoke exposure enhances oxidative stress, thereby disturbing the tissue defense system and bacoside A protects the brain from the oxidative damage through its antioxidant potential.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gallic acid attenuates high-fat diet fed-streptozotocin-induced insulin resistance via partial agonism of PPARγ in experimental type 2 diabetic rats and enhances glucose uptake through translocation and activation of GLUT4 in PI3K/p-Akt signaling pathway
Gopalsamy Rajiv Gandhi,Gnanasekaran Jothi,Poovathumkal James Antony,K. Balakrishna,Michael Gabriel Paulraj,Savarimuthu Ignacimuthu,Antony Stalin,Naif Abdullah Al-Dhabi +7 more
TL;DR: Evidence is provided to show that gallic acid could improve adipose tissue insulin sensitivity, modulate adipogenesis, increase adipose glucose uptake and protect β-cells from impairment, and can be used in the management of obesity-associated type 2 diabetes mellitus.
Journal ArticleDOI
Insulin sensitization via partial agonism of PPARγ and glucose uptake through translocation and activation of GLUT4 in PI3K/p-Akt signaling pathway by embelin in type 2 diabetic rats
Gopalsamy Rajiv Gandhi,Antony Stalin,K. Balakrishna,Savarimuthu Ignacimuthu,Michael Gabriel Paulraj,Rajagopal Vishal +5 more
TL;DR: Findings show that embelin could improve adipose tissue insulin sensitivity without increasing weight gain, enhance glycemic control, protect β-cell from damage and maintain glucose homeostasis in adiposity tissue.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of bacoside A on membrane-bound ATPases in the brain of rats exposed to cigarette smoke.
TL;DR: The results of this study indicate that Bacoside A protects the brain from cigarette smoking induced membrane damage.
Journal ArticleDOI
Creatine kinase isoenzyme patterns upon chronic exposure to cigarette smoke: protective effect of Bacoside A.
TL;DR: The protective effect of Bacoside A on the structural and functional integrity of the membrane prevented the leakage of CK from the respective tissues, which could be attributed to its free radical scavenging and anti-lipid peroxidative effect.
