: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of polysaccharide extract of okra, aloe vera and purslane concentration of (100-200 mg / kg of bw) on diabetic rats after injecting them with alloxan concentration of 150 mg/ kg. The chemical composition of okra, aloe vera and Purslane were found that Okra contains 87.49% carbohydrates, 72.55% total soluble polysaccharides, 21% extraction percentage, while aloe vera contains 90.22% carbohydrates, 81.74% total soluble polysaccharides, 32% extraction rate, while purslane contains 79.51% carbohydrates, 63.0% total soluble polysaccharides, 17.5% extraction percentage. While the infrared analysis proved in the spectral range the presence of OH, CH 2 , C=O, COO - , S=O, C-O-C, C-O-H and C-O groups, as well as alpha-pyranose rings, and alpha and beta glycosidic bonds for the okra, aloe vera and purslane. An estimated of the molecular weight of the polysaccharides of okra was 5.29 x 10 4 g/mol, aloe vera 6.98 x 10 4 g/mol, and purslane 1.25 x 10 4 g/mol. HPLC analysis of polysaccharides was found which okra contains manuronic acid 0.52, glucose 1.22, mannose 0.96, fucose 0.35 and arabinose 1.0 molar, and aloe vera contains manuronic acid 0.29, glucose 0.35, fructose 1.26, galactose 2.64, and arabinose 1.0 molar, while purslane contains manuronic acid 0.36, glucose 1.51, galactose 1.0 and arabinose 1.6 molar. The study showed that the polysaccharide extract of okra, aloe vera and purslane grown in Egypt was very beneficial in improving the glucose level in the plasma of diabetic rats. And leads to an improvement in the results of glycated hemoglobin. It also improved kidney function (urea - creatinine) and liver functions (GOT - GPT – ALP) and it had a qualitative effect on improving the synthetic functions of the liver (total protein - albumin). Also leads to an improvement in the level of results of the advanced glycated end products. The biological experiment indicated that the results of all groups treated with polysaccharide extract of okra, aloe vera and purslane at a concentration of 100-200 mg/kg improved, and that the best treated groups at all were those treated with polysaccharide extract of okra and aloe vera concentration of 200 mg/kg after 45 days, and this improvement may be due a high molecular weight of okra and aloe vera, or to the presence of some rare monosaccharides such as fucose and mannose in okra, galactose and fructose in aloe vera and high mannuronic acid in plants.

: Such investigation has as its goal to study polysaccharides from okra and purslane. The chemical composition of okra and Purslane is different. Okra contains 87.49% carbohydrates, 72.55% total soluble polysaccharides, 21% extraction percentage, against 79.51% carbohydrates, 63.0% total soluble polysaccharides, 17.5% extraction percentage for purslane. The infrared analysis reveald absorption in the region of 1725.18, 1732.38 and 1723.3 cm − 1 for okra and purslane indicated the presence of CH 2 group. The maximal absorption occurs at around 1626.54 cm − 1 of Purslane reflects the polysaccharide property and relates to the stretching vibration of C=O of the N-acetyl group or protonated carboxylic acid . The peaks at 1598.44 and 1408.51 cm − 1 of okra, 1588.32 and 1417.09 cm − 1 of purslane were characteristic to the symmetric stretching of the COO - group, indicating that plants are acidic polysaccharides. The peak located at 1318.56 and 1244.31 cm − 1 of okra, 1376.02 and 1322.88 cm − 1 of purslane correlated with the ester sulphate groups' stretching vibration (S=O) . The ingestion at 1144.54 and 1036.39 cm − 1 of okra, 1024.08 cm − 1 of purslane in the range of 1200 – 1000 cm − 1 which are anomeric regions, were attributed to the existence of C-O bonds in polysaccharides was shown by the compounds C-O-C and C-O- H that the monosaccharides in okra and purslane have α -pyranose ring. The presence of characteristic absorption at 893.03, 821.35 and 780.94 cm − 1 of okra, 826.94, 778.58 and 719.28 cm − 1 of purslane during anomeric area 950 – 700 cm − 1 of plants were assigned to the coexistence of both α and β glycosidic connections. An estimated of the molecular weight of the polysaccharides of okra was 5.29 × 10 4 g/mol and purslane 1.25 × 10 4 g/mol. HPLC analysis of okra polysaccharides was indicated the monosaccharides of using a molar ratio manuronic acid, glucose, mannose, fucose, and arabinose at 0.52, 1.22, 0.96, 0.35, 1.0, respectively. Purslane polysaccharides contained manuronic acid, glucose, galactose and arabinose with molar ratio 0.36, 1.51, 1.0, 1.6, respectively. The 1 H NMR spectra of okra and purslane polysaccharides clearly differs from each other in the pattern of resonances for their glycosyl anomeric and ring protons. The chromatogram of 1 H NMR spectrum exhibited four peaks corresponding to the analysis of linkage and component reported in previous values. Among them, signals at 5.19–5.15 ppm were assigned to α -Arabinose residues, 4.87–4.91 ppm si gnals might represented the residues of α Glucose pyranose.

: According to reports, when exposed to hazardous compounds like ethanol, hepatocytes are vulnerable to the harmful effects of oxidants. Chitosan is a potential chemical for the field of toxicity prevention because it possesses a variety of therapeutic qualities. The chemical makeup of chitosan and chitosan nanoparticles were assessed in this study using FTIR spectroscopy, and their particle size and antioxidant activity were assessed in vitro using DPPH. The in vivo hepatoprotective properties against ethanol-induced liver injury were assessed in male Wister rats. In both investigations, silimarin (100 mg/kg b.w.) and chitosan plus chitosan nanoparticles (200 mg/kg b.w.) were given orally. 3.76 gm/kg b.w. of 40% ethanol administered orally for 30 days caused liver damage. In the DPPH scavenging activity assay, chitosan and chitosan nanoparticles both showed antioxidant activity; however, chitosan nanoparticles were more effective than chitosan overall. Hepatotoxicity was evaluated by measuring plasma aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), total protein, and plasma antioxidant status (MDA concentration, and catalase activity). Raised plasma AST, ALT, and MDA levels in rats after ethanol treatment showed liver injury. In a preventive model, the administration of chitosan, chitosan nanoparticles, and silimarin reduced the harmful effects of ethanol on the aforementioned plasma parameters. According to the findings of the current investigation, chitosan and chitosan nanoparticles significantly inhibit ethanol-induced liver damage and have antioxidant and hepatoprotective properties.

Background: Hyperglycemia is one of the serious problems that affect humans' lifestyle and require special treatments. Incorrect use of synthetic drugs results in side effects and other problems. Diabetic patients need safer and more effective antidiabetic drugs that decrease diabetic complications. Natural products are harmless due to conventional medicine can be inefficient (e.g. side effects and ineffective therapy). Objective: Evaluate antihyperglycemic activity of aqueous leaves extract of Psidium guajava in hyperglycemic rats. Methods: Adult males albino rats, weighting (140-150 grams) were assigned to one of four groups of six animals each (n= 6). Hyperglycemia induced by single dose intraperitoneal injection of STZ NA (60 mg/kg 110 mg/kg, b.wt i.p.), the control groups was given distilled water, the experimental sub-groups were started one week later of STZ induction, then treated once daily by aqueous extract of Psidium guajava leaves until the end of experiment. Initially, blood samples were taken for measured glucose levels and HbA1c. The body weight, urine sugar and blood glucose levels were checked regularly. Results: The polyphenolic of guava leaves extract was found to be (227.63 mg GAE /g. Ex), while flavonoids content was (79.96 mg QE/g. Ex). However, it caused a significant decrease in blood glucose levels and HbA1c and other glycemic indicators. Conclusion: aqueous extract of Psidium guajava leaves possess significant antidiabetic, and effective in lowering blood glucose level but lack hypoglycemic effect in hyperglycemic rats. Further studies warranted to elucidate possible mechanism(s) of action of the plant material.

Incorrect use of synthetic drugs results in side effects and other problems. Diabetic patients need safer and more effective antidiabetic drugs that decrease diabetic complications. Natural products are harmless due to conventional medicine can be inefficient (e.g. side effects and ineffective therapy). Objective: Evaluate antihyperglycemic activity of aqueous leaves extract of Psidium guajava in hyperglycemic rats. Methods: Adult males albino rats, weighting (140-150 grams) were assigned to one of four groups of six animals each (n= 6). Hyperglycemia induced by single dose intraperitoneal injection of STZ NA (60 mg/kg 110 mg/kg, b.wt i.p.), the control groups was given distilled water, the experimental sub-groups were started one week later of STZ induction, then treated once daily by aqueous extract of Psidium guajava leaves until the end of experiment. Initially, blood samples were taken for measured glucose levels and HbA1c. The body weight, urine sugar and blood glucose levels were checked regularly. Results: The polyphenolic of guava leaves extract was found to be (227.63 mg GAE /g. Ex), while flavonoids content was (79.96 mg QE/g. Ex). However, it caused a significant decrease in blood glucose levels and HbA1c and other glycemic indicators. Conclusion: aqueous extract of Psidium guajava leaves possess significant antidiabetic, and effective in lowering blood glucose level but lack hypoglycemic effect in hyperglycemic rats. Further studies warranted to elucidate possible mechanism(s) of action of the plant material.","PeriodicalId":280782,"journal":{"name":"Menoufia Journal of Agricultural Biotechnology","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133555159","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
