It is considered as a top 10 cause of death globally, killing about 1.6 million people worldwide and is seen as the third highest risk factor for worldwide premature mortality due to hyperglycaemia and hyperglycaemic-induced oxidative stress and inflammation. There is a strong link between hyperglycaemia, hyperglycaemic-induced oxidative stress, inflammation and the development and progression of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Various reports have shown that chronic low-grade inflammation is associated with the risk of developing type 2 diabetes and that sub-clinical inflammation contributes to insulin resistance and is linked to the characteristics of metabolic syndrome which include hyperglycaemia. Oxidative stress stimulates the generation of inflammatory mediators and inflammation in turn enhances the production of reactive oxygen species. This interaction between diabetes, oxidative stress and inflammation is the primary motivation for the compilation of this review. Based on previous studies, the review examines the interaction between diabetes, oxidative stress and inflammation, factors promoting prevalence of diabetes mellitus, mechanisms involved in hyperglycaemia-induced oxidative stress with particular focus on type 2 diabetes and selected diabetic complications.</p>","PeriodicalId":94056,"journal":{"name":"International journal of physiology, pathophysiology and pharmacology","volume":"11 3","pages":"45-63"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6628012/pdf/ijppp0011-0045.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41224097","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study investigated the modulatory potential of <i>Parkia biglobosa</i> protein isolate (PBPi) on serum testosterone (sTT) level as well as its influence on biomarkers of oxidative stress in brain and testes of streptozotocin-induced diabetic male rats. Animals were made diabetic by single intraperitoneal administration of streptozotocin (STZ; 60 mg/kg body weight). PBPi (200 or 400 mg/kg body weight) was given orally by gavage or insulin (5 U/kg, i.p.) was administered daily to STZ-induced diabetic rats for 28 days. The results revealed a significant elevation in thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) levels in the brain and testes of diabetic rats. This was closely associated with a concomitant reduction in levels of sTT and reduced testes weight, a noticeable decline in the glutathione-S-transferase (GST), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) as well as total glutathione (Total GSH) level in the brain and testes of diabetic rats. Interestingly, treatment with PBPi efficiently prevented the alterations witnessed in the serum sTT and also ameliorated various alterations in the biomarkers of oxidative stress (TBARS, Total GSH, GST, SOD and CAT) in brain and testes of diabetic rats. These results provide evidence that PBPi could protect the brain and testicular tissues against oxidative stress induced by STZ, via modulation of serum testosterone concentration and also by enhancing antioxidant defence system in STZ-diabetic rats.</p>","PeriodicalId":94056,"journal":{"name":"International journal of physiology, pathophysiology and pharmacology","volume":"8 3","pages":"78-86"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5078479/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140290062","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
