Moringa oleifera Lam. seed extract protects kidney function in rats with diabetic nephropathy by increasing GSK-3β activity and activating the Nrf2/HO-1 pathway.

TL;DR: In this paper, Moringa oleifera (MOS) seeds were used to treat diabetic nephropathy and reveal its underlying mechanisms, which showed that MOS extract not only significantly reduced blood glucose levels and oxidative stress in the experimental rats but also improved their kidney function and reduced kidney tissue damage.

Aerosol Transmission of Infectious Disease and the Efficacy of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): A Systematic Review.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss the inhalation of virus-laden aerosols as a viable mechanism of transmission of various respiratory infectious diseases and personal protection equipment efficacy and conclude that PPE should be the last resort in preventing the spread of infectious disease and should only be used for protection and not to control the transmission.

The antidiabetic effect of low doses of Moringa oleifera Lam. seeds on streptozotocin induced diabetes and diabetic nephropathy in male rats.

TL;DR: Treating the diabetic rats with 50 or 100 mg Moringa seeds powder/kg body weight in G3 and G4, respectively, ameliorated the levels of all these parameters approaching the negative control values and restored the normal histology of both kidney and pancreas compared with that of the diabetic positive control group.
