Aims: The medical management of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) has become a major public health issue. Apolipoproteins play a key role in lipoprotein metabolism such as the recognition of receptors involved in lipoprotein metabolism. Thus, the study of the inter- relationships between apolipoproteins (A1 and B) and MDR-TB could represent an important approach to the biological management of MDR-TB patients. Methodology: This is an experimental study carried out on eighty-two (82) patients including thirty-eight (38) MDR-TB patients which age ranged from 18 to 60 years old recruited from three tuberculosis centers (CAT) in the city of Abidjan and forty-four (44) non-tuberculosis patients used as control aged 18 to 60 years old recruited at the National Blood Transfusion Center (CNTS) in Treichville (Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire). Total cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol and triglycerides were measured by the colorimetric-enzymatic method. Apolipoproteins A1 and B were measured using the immunoturbidimetric method. Results and Conclusion: Showed a dyslipidemia concerning cholesterol and its HDL fraction, triglycerides and apolipoproteins A1 and B suggest an atherogenic profile in multidrug-resistant TB patients.

Background: Hygrophila schulli, a medicinal herb, has traditionally been used to treat a wide range of ailments such as diarrhoea, dysentery, and cough. The aim of this experiment was to seek the antioxidant and antidiabetic properties of the methanolic extract of H. schulli leaf (MEHL) by in vitro and in vivo study. Methods: Methanol was used as a solvent to extract H. schulli leaves. In vitro antioxidant activity of MEHL was determined by DPPH and ABTS free radical scavenging assay and in vitro antidiabetic activity was revealed by α-amylase inhibition assay and α-glucosidase inhibition assay. To explore in vivo antidiabetic properties, diabetes was induced in Swiss albno mice by a single intraperitoneal injection of alloxan at a dose of 80 mg/kg body weight. Swiss albino mice were separated into five groups (normal and diabetic) and orally treated with normal pellet diet, water (normal control and diabetic control), glibenclamide (5 mg/kg BW), and MEHL (100 and 200 mg/kg BW). Results: MEHL showed significant scavenging activity in DPPH and ABTS free radical scavenging assay (IC 50 value is 105.80 µg/mL and 27.47 µg/mL respectively). In the α-amylase inhibition assay, MEHL at a concentration of 120 g/mL inhibited α-amylase activity by 23.13%, furthermore, at 100 g/mL concentration of MEHL, 55.62% inhibition of α-glucosidase activity was detected. Diabetic mice treated with MEHL exhibited a significant decrease in blood glucose levels by 12.66%-33.45% from the 5th to the 21st day in the in vivo assay at a concentration of 200 mg/kg body weight. MEHL significantly reduced the activity of serum SGPT and SGOT in diabetic mice as compared to the control group. In diabetic mice, the extract improved TG, TC, LDL, HDL, and VLDL levels as compared to untreated mice. Conclusion: The current study indicated that H. schulli leaf extract is a natural source of antioxidants, has substantial antidiabetic effects and enhances lipid profile markers in diabetic mice and may be utilized as an alternate therapy for diabetes control.

Background: Diabetes mellitus is the major cause of end-stage renal disease and is a common endocrine illness defined by chronic hyperglycemia. In addition to diabetes, substance addiction is considered to be a cause of renal issues. The World Health Organization has classed khat (Catha edulis) as an illicit substance. Khat interferes with regular physiological activities, which may have negative health impacts on organs and systems. Objectives: To determine the effect of khat and uric acid on nephropathy in type II diabetes mellitus. Materials and Methods: This is an analytical, cross-sectional study that was conducted on 215 males aged 35 to 55 years who had previously been diagnosed with type II diabetes mellitus and were visiting AL- Thawra General Hospital in Ibb City. The diabetic person was corresponded in age and BMI by the control participant. The subjects were divided into two groups. There were 105 people with type II diabetes mellitus (59% chewing Khat and 46% not chewing Khat), 110 people were healthy and did not have type II diabetes (44% of them chewed Khat and 66% did not chew Khat). Results: A significant increase in albuminuria and proteinuria within the normal range in the diabetes mellitus Khat Chewer group compared to the diabetes mellitus Non-Khat Chewer group (p˂0.001). However, no significant differences were seen in the healthy control group. Conclusion: Khat chewing has a strong effect on those with type II diabetes and increases the progression of kidney nephropathy. There was an association between khat chewing and higher uric acid levels in both diabetic and non-diabetic patients.
背景:糖尿病是终末期肾病的主要病因,也是一种以慢性高血糖为特征的常见内分泌疾病。除糖尿病外,药物成瘾也被认为是导致肾病的原因之一。世界卫生组织已将阿拉伯茶(Catha edulis)列为非法药物。阿拉伯茶会干扰正常的生理活动,可能对器官和系统的健康产生负面影响。 研究目标确定阿拉伯茶和尿酸对 II 型糖尿病肾病的影响。材料与方法:这是一项横断面分析研究,研究对象为伊卜市 AL- Thawra 综合医院的 215 名 35 至 55 岁男性,他们曾被诊断为 II 型糖尿病。糖尿病患者的年龄和体重指数与对照组相仿。受试者被分为两组。其中 105 人患有 II 型糖尿病(59% 的人咀嚼阿拉伯茶,46% 的人不咀嚼阿拉伯茶),110 人身体健康,没有 II 型糖尿病(44% 的人咀嚼阿拉伯茶,66% 的人不咀嚼阿拉伯茶)。 研究结果咀嚼阿拉伯茶的糖尿病患者组与不咀嚼阿拉伯茶的糖尿病患者组相比,白蛋白尿和蛋白尿在正常范围内明显增加(p˂0.001)。然而,健康对照组则无明显差异。结论咀嚼阿拉伯茶对 II 型糖尿病患者有很大影响,会增加肾脏肾病的进展。无论是糖尿病患者还是非糖尿病患者,咀嚼阿拉伯茶都与尿酸水平升高有关。

The effect of 50, 100 and 200 mg/kg of combined ethanol extract of S. calycina and C. lutea were investigated on mating behavioural parameters and sex/reproductive hormone boosting potentials in both non-bonny light crude oil (NBLCO) and bonny light crude oil (BLCO) environmentally challenged rats. Forty sexually experienced rats weighing 120-135g were arbitrarily allocated into two groups of twenty rats as NBLCO and BLCO respectively, each group were further subdivided into four groups of five rats and administered orally with 50 mL distilled water (control) and the extract of S. calycina and C. lutea at doses of 50, 100 and 200 mg/kg body weight. After 21 days of treatment protocols, the animals were observed for both precopulatory and copulatory activities, sex hormone was also evaluated. The copulatory activities monitored showed that mount latency, intromission latency and post ejaculatory intervals were significantly decreased by the 100 and 200 mg/kg of the extract in both the NBLCO and BLCO-challenged rats (P < 0.05). All doses significantly increased (P < 0.05) the mount frequency, intromission frequency, and ejaculatory frequency in the NBLCO groups while only the 100 and 200 mg/kg body weight was able. Copulatory efficiency was significantly increased (P < 0.05) by all doses in a dose-related manner in the NBLCO groups while only the 200 mg/kg dose level was able to significantly increase (P < 0.05) the copulatory efficiency in the BLCO groups. The hormonal assay showed that all doses produced a significant increase (P < 0.05) in testosterone, luteinizing hormone, follicle-stimulating hormone, and progesterone, with a concomitantly significant decrease (P < 0.05) in prolactin in the NBLCO groups, however, only the 100 and 200 mg/kg was able to able to achieve significant change (P < 0.05) in these hormonal levels in the BLCO groups. Findings from this study showed that the extract has aphrodisiac potentials and also the ability to restore hyposexual activity in rats challenged with crude oil.

Background: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the primary cause of all disease loads and accounts for almost half of all fatalities. The early detection of coronary artery disease (CAD) has drawn a lot of attention because it is anticipated that the global burden of cardiovascular disease will rise by almost 75% by 2020. They are easily oxidized, which causes an increase in affinity for arterial proteoglycans and a decrease in affinity for LDL receptors. It demonstrates significant CAD importance. Objective: The measurement of plasma lipid profiles and apolipoproteins (ApoA-1, ApoB, and Apo B/A-1 ratio) in healthy individuals and patients suffering from coronary artery disease. Methods: In this cross-sectional comparative study, 90 Yemeni subjects aged 45 to 70 years were divided into three groups: Group I: 30 cases as CAD positive (CAD+). Group II: 30 cases CAD negative (CAD -). Group III: 30 healthy person was as control. A standardized questionnaire was administered to collect demographic and clinical data from participants. Venous blood (10 ml) was collected from each individual and divided into two portions. The first portion was 5 ml in plain tubes, ApoA-1 and Apo B vacuum tubes for freezing at -20°C until analysis. 5ml in a plain tube for measuring fasting blood glucose, and lipid profile. Results: ApoB and Apo B/A ratios were significantly higher in CAD+ and CAD− subjects compared to controls. In addition, ApoB and Apo B/A ratios were significantly higher in CAD+ subjects compared to CAD- subjects. (P. value =0.002). In contrast, Apo A-1 was significant in CAD+ compared to CAD- and controls, and not significantly different between CAD and controls P. value = (0.001, 0.032). Furthermore, FBS and LDL-c were significantly higher in CAD+ compared to CAD subjects (P value = 0.05). In contrast, HDL-c was significantly lower in CAD+ compared to CAD and controls, with no significant difference between CAD and controls (P value=0.038, 0.004, 0.70). However, TG was not substantially different between CAD- and controls, but it was significantly greater in CAD+ compared to controls (P. value =0.002, 0.09, 0.31). Nevertheless, there was no difference in TC between study groups (P. value = 0.08, 0.12, 0.98). Conclusions: The degree of CAD is significantly positively correlated with WHR. More important than overall obesity, abdominal obesity is a risk factor for coronary heart disease (CHD). A significant positive connection has been observed between the Apo B/Apo A ratio and CAD. One thing to think about as a CAD risk factor is Apo B.

This investigation focuses on analysing the follicular dynamics exhibited during peri-pubertal period in Sahiwal and Jersey crossbred heifers. The aim of the study was to assess first ovulation in the heifers following puberty (N=20; 10 for each breed). Heifers were subjected to alternate day trans-rectal ultrasonography (TRUS) when the diameter of dominant follicle surpassed 9 mm diameter. Transrectal ultrasonography (TRUS) was performed to observe and assess first ovulation in heifers. The size of the first pre-ovulatory follicle in Sahiwal and Jersey Crossbred heifer in peri-pubertal stage was 10.52±0.13 and 10.15±0.51 mm, respectively and the corpus luteum attained its maximum size of 13.89 and 11.26 mm, was significantly different (p<0.01) at day 8.6±0.4 and 8.2±0.48 in Sahiwal and Jersey crossbred heifers, respectively. The regression of corpus luteum (CL) adjudged by the Colour Doppler initiated on 10.6±0.4 and 11.0±0.63 day for Sahiwal and Jersey crossbred heifers, respectively. Some other follicular dynamics parameters i.e. day of wave onset, number of follicles recruited, inter-wave duration along with maximum diameter of dominant follicle, day of maximum diameter, growth rate, length of growth and static phase, duration of static phase and onset of atresia was recorded, however, no significant difference (p>0.05) was recorded between breeds. On an interesting note, the next estrous cycle for heifers did not lead to ovulation despite having follicular size more than10 mm in both the breeds. Conclusion: In peroration, peri-pubertal Sahiwal and Jersey crossbred heifers had notably precocious luteal regression after first ovulation, without subsequent ovulation in next estrous cycle.

Some other follicular dynamics parameters i.e. day of wave onset, number of follicles recruited, inter-wave duration along with maximum diameter of dominant follicle, day of maximum diameter, growth rate, length of growth and static phase, duration of static phase and onset of atresia was recorded, however, no significant difference (p>0.05) was recorded between breeds. On an interesting note, the next estrous cycle for heifers did not lead to ovulation despite having follicular size more than10 mm in both the breeds. \u0000Conclusion: In peroration, peri-pubertal Sahiwal and Jersey crossbred heifers had notably precocious luteal regression after first ovulation, without subsequent ovulation in next estrous cycle.","PeriodicalId":504637,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Biochemistry Research & Review","volume":"51 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139606779","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}
