Journal ArticleDOI

Curcumin and turmeric delay streptozotocin-induced diabetic cataract in rats.

TL;DR: The present studies suggest that curcumin and turmeric treatment appear to have countered the hyperglycemia-induced oxidative stress, because there was a reversal of changes with respect to lipid peroxidation, reduced glutathione, protein carbonyl content and activities of antioxidant enzymes in a significant manner.
Journal Article

Inhibition of aldose reductase by tannoid principles of Emblica officinalis: implications for the prevention of sugar cataract.

TL;DR: Results indicate that tannoids of E. officinalis are potent inhibitors of AR and suggest that exploring the therapeutic value of natural ingredients that people can incorporate into everyday life may be an effective approach in the management of diabetic complications.
Journal Article

Emblica officinalis and its enriched tannoids delay streptozotocin-induced diabetic cataract in rats.

TL;DR: It is pointed out that Emblica and its tannoids might counter the polyol pathway-induced oxidative stress as there was a reversal of changes with respect to lipid peroxidation, protein carbonyl content, and activities of antioxidant enzymes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dietary sources of aldose reductase inhibitors: prospects for alleviating diabetic complications

TL;DR: The scope of adapting life-style modifications in the form of inclusion of certain common sources in the diet for the management of diabetic complications is indicated, as well as the importance of prevention of intracellular sorbitol accumulation.
Journal Article

Antiglycating potential of Zingiber officinalis and delay of diabetic cataract in rats.

TL;DR: The results indicated that ginger was effective against the development of diabetic cataract in rats mainly through its antiglycating potential and to a lesser extent by inhibition of the polyol pathway.
