Introduction: Inflammation due to diabetes mellitus has been understudied. Gongronema latifolium (GL) is reported have anti-inflammatory potentials. This work was designed evaluate the effect of ethanolic leaf extract on some inflammatory markers in Streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats. Materials and methods: 40 Wistar rats both sexes (150 g-200 g) were divided into 5 groups eight (8) each. Group 1; control received normal saline placebo orally. 2; GL only 200 mg/kg 3 DM 65 bw STZ intraperitoneally for two days with an interval one day between. 4; + 200mg/kg GL. 5; Insulin 65mg/kgbw followed by 10 IU/kgbw insulin subcutaneously. For further study, paw oedema induced sub-plantar injection 2% formalin before after administration daily 7 days. Blood samples collected via cardiac puncture biochemical analysis. Results: Results from this study showed a significant (p<0.05) increase blood glucose group, compared control. Intervention significantly reduced level towards normal. Interleukin-6 concentration C-reactive proteins (p<0.01) higher group groups. Paw size increased treated Pretreatment post treatment size. Conclusion: In conclusion, (like insulin) hypoglycemic

Protein posttranslational modifications (PTMs) refer to the breaking or generation of covalent bonds on backbones amino acid side chains proteins and expand diversity proteins, which provides basis for emergence organismal complexity. To date, more than 650 types protein modifications, such as most well-known phosphorylation, ubiquitination, glycosylation, methylation, SUMOylation, short-chain long-chain acylation redox irreversible have been described, inventory is still increasing. By changing conformation, localization, activity, stability, charges, interactions with other biomolecules, PTMs ultimately alter phenotypes biological processes cells.

We are first to perform a comprehensive study based on various glycation and oxidation factors, determining impact amantadine protein glycoxidation. Sugars (glucose, fructose, galactose) aldehydes (glyoxal, methylglyoxal) were as agents, chloramine T was an oxidant. Glycoxidation biomarkers albumin treated with generally not different from control group (glycation/oxidation factors), indicating that did affect processes. Molecular docking analysis reveal strong binding sites bovine serum structure. Although poorly scavenged hydroxyl radical hydrogen peroxide, it had significantly lower antioxidant antiglycation effect than all inhibitors.

Methods: The authors searched PubMed, Medline (Ovid), Embase Web of Science for case-control studies conducted before May 2022 English that following MeSH search terms were used: (“malondialdehyde” or “thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS)” “lipid peroxidation” “oxidative stress”) “diabetic retinopathy.” Newcastle–Ottawa Quality Assessment Scale was used to evaluate the quality included studies. Random-effects pairwise meta-analysis pooled effect size standardized mean difference (SMD) 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Results: 29 1680 DR 1799 diabetes but not Compared DR, higher those (SMD, 0.897; CI, 0.631 1.162; P < 0.001). study did identify credible subgroup effects publication bias sensitivity analysis confirmed robustness study.
