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.

Moringa oleifera leaf extract ameliorates alloxan-induced diabetes in rats by regeneration of β cells and reduction of pyruvate carboxylase expression.

TL;DR: It is revealed that the aqueous extract of M. oleifera leaves possesses potent hypoglycemic effects through the normalization of elevated hepatic pyruvate carboxylase enzyme and regeneration of damaged hepatocytes and pancreatic β cells via its antioxidant properties.

Evaluation of antidiabetic and antihyperlipedemic potential of aqueous extract of moringa oleifera in fructose fed insulin resistant and stz induced diabetic wistar rats: a comparative study

TL;DR: The study clearly reveals that aqueous extract of Moringa oleifera leaf possesses potent antihyperglycemic and antihyperlipedemic effect in both Insulin resistant and Insulin deficient rat models.
Journal ArticleDOI

Methanolic extract of Moringa oleifera leaves improves glucose tolerance, glycogen synthesis and lipid metabolism in alloxan-induced diabetic rats.

TL;DR: Hypoglycemic effects of MOLE might be mediated through the stimulation of insulin release leading to enhanced glucose uptake and glycogen synthesis in rats with alloxan-induced diabetes.
