Anti-diabetic, anti-hyperlipidemic and spermatogenic effects of Amaranthus spinosus Linn. on streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats

TL;DR: Some pharmacological evidence is established to support the folklore claim that it is used as an anti-diabetic and accelerated the process of spermatogenesis by increasing the sperm count and accessory sex organ weights.

Inhibition of B(a)P induced strand breaks in presence of curcumin.

TL;DR: The protective effect of curcumin on B(a)P induced DNA damage in human peripheral blood lymphocyte cells appears to be sex dependent and there was no correlation between DNA damage and GST-Mu levels and levels of micronutrients namely Vitamins A, E and beta carotene.

Transgenic tobacco plants overexpressing cotton glutathione S-transferase (GST) show enhanced resistance to methyl viologen.

TL;DR: Transgenic tobacco plants overexpressing Gst-cr1 were normal in growth and mature compared with control, but had much higher levels of GST and GPx activities and showed an enhanced resistance to oxidative stress induced by a low concentration of methyl viologen (MV).

Treatment with oligonol, a low-molecular polyphenol derived from lychee fruit, attenuates diabetes-induced hepatic damage through regulation of oxidative stress and lipid metabolism.

TL;DR: The present results suggest that oligonol has protective effects against ROS-related inflammation and excess lipid deposition in the type 2 diabetic liver.
