Diabetic Rats","translated_title":"","metadata":{"publisher":"Zenodo","grobid_abstract":"One of the leading challenges to public health globally is diabetes mellitus. Diabetes mellitus is a chronic condition caused by irregular high level of glucose in the blood. However, therapeutic option mostly adopted is the use of natural plant derivatives. The potential protective effect of Telfairia occidentalis was evaluated in blood serum and kidney following Streptozotocin-induced toxicity in male Wistar rats. Twenty-five male albino rats of Wistar strain were randomly allocated into five groups: Group A: Streptozotocininduced diabetic rats (animals injected with 50mg/kg b. wt. of Streptozotocin intravenously), and treated with low dose of ethanolic leaf extract of Telfairia occidentalis (200mg/kg b. wt.) for eight days, Group B: Streptozotocininduced diabetic rats, and then treated with high dose of ethanolic leaf extract of Telfairia occidentalis (400mg/kg b. wt.) for eight days, Group C: Streptozotocininduced diabetic rats treated with Metformin (1.43mg/kg b. wt.) for eight days, Group D: Untreated Streptozotocininduced diabetic rats, Group E: Control (animals received distilled water only for eight days). Blood glucose concentration was determined at every 48 hours for 8 days.

Diabetes mellitus is a chronic condition caused by irregular high level of glucose in the blood. However, therapeutic option mostly adopted is the use of natural plant derivatives. The potential protective effect of Telfairia occidentalis was evaluated in blood serum and kidney following Streptozotocin-induced toxicity in male Wistar rats. Twenty-five male albino rats of Wistar strain were randomly allocated into five groups: Group A: Streptozotocininduced diabetic rats (animals injected with 50mg/kg b. wt. of Streptozotocin intravenously), and treated with low dose of ethanolic leaf extract of Telfairia occidentalis (200mg/kg b. wt.) for eight days, Group B: Streptozotocininduced diabetic rats, and then treated with high dose of ethanolic leaf extract of Telfairia occidentalis (400mg/kg b. wt.) for eight days, Group C: Streptozotocininduced diabetic rats treated with Metformin (1.43mg/kg b. wt.) for eight days, Group D: Untreated Streptozotocininduced diabetic rats, Group E: Control (animals received distilled water only for eight days). Blood glucose concentration was determined at every 48 hours for 8 days. Other biochemical parameters such as sodium and potassium concentration, total protein (TP) concentration, albumin concentration, creatinine and urea concentration were also determined.

Therefore, the protective mechanism of Telfairia occidentalis might be due to its free radical scavenging potential and antidiabetic property.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="0b519dd0b907469c60604e1d040b3ece" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":66305338,"asset_id":46953780,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/66305338/download_file?st=MTczMjc2NTU0Myw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="46953780"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span><span id="work-strip-rankings-button-container"></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="46953780"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 46953780; window.Academia.workViewCountsFetcher.queue(workId, function (count) { var description = window.$h.commaizeInt(count) + " " + window.$h.pluralize(count, 'View'); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=46953780]").text(description); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=46953780]").attr('title', description).tooltip(); }); });</script></span></span><span><span class="percentile-widget hidden"><span class="u-mr2x work-percentile"></span></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 46953780; window.Academia.workPercentilesFetcher.queue(workId, function (percentileText) { var container = $(".js-work-strip[data-work-id='46953780']"); container.find('.work-percentile').text(percentileText.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + percentileText.slice(1)); container.find('.percentile-widget').show(); container.find('.percentile-widget').removeClass('hidden'); }); });</script></span><span><script>$(function() { new Works.PaperRankView({ workId: 46953780, container: "", }); });</script></span></div><div id="work-strip-premium-row-container"></div></div></div><script> require.config({ waitSeconds: 90 })(["https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/wow_profile-f77ea15d77ce96025a6048a514272ad8becbad23c641fc2b3bd6e24ca6ff1932.js","https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/work_edit-ad038b8c047c1a8d4fa01b402d530ff93c45fee2137a149a4a5398bc8ad67560.js"], function() { // from javascript_helper.rb var dispatcherData = {} if (true){ window.WowProfile.dispatcher = window.WowProfile.dispatcher || _.clone(Backbone.Events); dispatcherData = { dispatcher: window.WowProfile.dispatcher, downloadLinkId: "0b519dd0b907469c60604e1d040b3ece" } } $('.js-work-strip[data-work-id=46953780]').each(function() { if (!$(this).data('initialized')) { new WowProfile.WorkStripView({ el: this, workJSON: {"id":46953780,"title":"Effects of Ethanolic Extract of Telfairia Occidentalis on Glucose Level and Renal Function Parameters in Streptozotocin Induced Diabetic Rats","translated_title":"","metadata":{"doi":"10.5281/zenodo.4087722","abstract":"One of the leading challenges to public health globally is diabetes mellitus.

Diabetes mellitus is a chronic condition caused by irregular high level of glucose in the blood. However, therapeutic option mostly adopted is the use of natural plant derivatives. The potential protective effect of Telfairia occidentalis was evaluated in blood serum and kidney following Streptozotocin-induced toxicity in male Wistar rats. Twenty-five male albino rats of Wistar strain were randomly allocated into five groups: Group A: Streptozotocininduced diabetic rats (animals injected with 50mg/kg b. wt. of Streptozotocin intravenously), and treated with low dose of ethanolic leaf extract of Telfairia occidentalis (200mg/kg b. wt.) for eight days, Group B: Streptozotocininduced diabetic rats, and then treated with high dose of ethanolic leaf extract of Telfairia occidentalis (400mg/kg b. wt.) for eight days, Group C: Streptozotocininduced diabetic rats treated with Metformin (1.43mg/kg b. wt.) for eight days, Group D: Untreated Streptozotocininduced diabetic rats, Group E: Control (animals received distilled water only for eight days). Blood glucose concentration was determined at every 48 hours for 8 days. Other biochemical parameters such as sodium and potassium concentration, total protein (TP) concentration, albumin concentration, creatinine and urea concentration were also determined. Streptozotocin induced diabetic rats showed significant (p\u003c0.05) increase in blood glucose level. Treatment with ethanolic leaf extract of Telfairia occidentalis showed a statistically significant (p\u003c0.05) dose dependent reduction in blood glucose levels with a steep descent seen at higher dose. Streptozotocin significantly increased (P\u003c0.05) the serum level of sodium, potassium, creatinine and urea, while it decreased the serum total protein and albumin concentration. Treatment with ethanolic leaf extract of Telfairia occidentalis significantly (p\u003c0.05) decreased serum level of sodium, potassium, creatinine and urea, while it increased the serum total protein and albumin concentration. The results of this study showed that ethanolic leaf extract of Telfairia occidentalis is good antihyperglycaemic agent in lowering the blood glucose level. Hypernatremia and hyperkalaemia (diabetic ketoacidosis) caused by Streptozotocin are also lowered through the use of ethanolic leaf extract of Telfairia occidentalis. This may therefore suggest the effect of ethanolic leaf extract of Telfairia occidentalis in protecting renal damage in streptozotocin induced diabetes. Therefore, the protective mechanism of Telfairia occidentalis might be due to its free radical scavenging potential and antidiabetic property.","publication_date":{"day":14,"month":10,"year":2020,"errors":{}},"grobid_abstract_attachment_id":85851282},"translated_abstract":null,"internal_url":"https://www.academia.edu/78973520/Effects_of_Ethanolic_Extract_of_Telfairia_Occidentalis_on_Glucose_Level_and_Renal_Function_Parameters_in_Streptozotocin_Induced_Diabetic_Rats","translated_internal_url":"","created_at":"2022-05-11T10:44:16.917-07:00","preview_url":null,"current_user_can_edit":null,"current_user_is_owner":null,"owner_id":191858871,"coauthors_can_edit":true,"document_type":"paper","co_author_tags":[],"downloadable_attachments":[{"id":85851282,"title":"","file_type":"pdf","scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/85851282/thumbnails/1.jpg","file_name":"Effects_20of_20Ethanolic_20Extract.pdf","download_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/85851282/download_file?st=MTczMjc2NTU0Myw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&st=MTczMjc2NTU0Myw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&","bulk_download_file_name":"Effects_of_Ethanolic_Extract_of_Telfairi.pdf","bulk_download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/85851282/Effects_20of_20Ethanolic_20Extract-libre.pdf?1652291737=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DEffects_of_Ethanolic_Extract_of_Telfairi.pdf\u0026Expires=1732769143\u0026Signature=eLV0lgxOTM4I53cetAibg-XFA2cp18k8IrJp~mzeQpyBs2TLXe-3AvVUp754mvfuHSWGoY-QGwy0jbKlPO18lMdlE9rbhTR1jc8REw1rajdIL9y66N74NZFtDDqWiJnZNRwDwYfZJ8R17OnHMkWuZpVGz-GditiMnGjweFHsZJBYIn6SJ~gHG06UysJ2ymb5ebCdQVTiGpv0cafEhZtIt2JeyQ2-i9euOClVdusKdl9qmQFlnqPc0j-7PR5y8878Q7Ys0d7gChmAhNostQFCAgryH8LspnLUjx~hjDfEkxjv7f8S71jSVAXPJLY5GfzsGHt03bH8o6Jh4i4cHT8j4Q__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA"}],"slug":"Effects_of_Ethanolic_Extract_of_Telfairia_Occidentalis_on_Glucose_Level_and_Renal_Function_Parameters_in_Streptozotocin_Induced_Diabetic_Rats","translated_slug":"","page_count":16,"language":"en","content_type":"Work","owner":{"id":191858871,"first_name":"Gift

Diabetes mellitus is a chronic condition caused by irregular high level of glucose in the blood. However, therapeutic option mostly adopted is the use of natural plant derivatives. The potential protective effect of Telfairia occidentalis was evaluated in blood serum and kidney following Streptozotocin-induced toxicity in male Wistar rats. Twenty-five male albino rats of Wistar strain were randomly allocated into five groups: Group A: Streptozotocininduced diabetic rats (animals injected with 50mg/kg b. wt. of Streptozotocin intravenously), and treated with low dose of ethanolic leaf extract of Telfairia occidentalis (200mg/kg b. wt.) for eight days, Group B: Streptozotocininduced diabetic rats, and then treated with high dose of ethanolic leaf extract of Telfairia occidentalis (400mg/kg b. wt.) for eight days, Group C: Streptozotocininduced diabetic rats treated with Metformin (1.43mg/kg b. wt.) for eight days, Group D: Untreated Streptozotocininduced diabetic rats, Group E: Control (animals received distilled water only for eight days). Blood glucose concentration was determined at every 48 hours for 8 days. Other biochemical parameters such as sodium and potassium concentration, total protein (TP) concentration, albumin concentration, creatinine and urea concentration were also determined. Streptozotocin induced diabetic rats showed significant (p\u003c0.05) increase in blood glucose level. Treatment with ethanolic leaf extract of Telfairia occidentalis showed a statistically significant (p\u003c0.05) dose dependent reduction in blood glucose levels with a steep descent seen at higher dose. Streptozotocin significantly increased (P\u003c0.05) the serum level of sodium, potassium, creatinine and urea, while it decreased the serum total protein and albumin concentration. Treatment with ethanolic leaf extract of Telfairia occidentalis significantly (p\u003c0.05) decreased serum level of sodium, potassium, creatinine and urea, while it increased the serum total protein and albumin concentration. The results of this study showed that ethanolic leaf extract of Telfairia occidentalis is good antihyperglycaemic agent in lowering the blood glucose level. Hypernatremia and hyperkalaemia (diabetic ketoacidosis) caused by Streptozotocin are also lowered through the use of ethanolic leaf extract of Telfairia occidentalis. This may therefore suggest the effect of ethanolic leaf extract of Telfairia occidentalis in protecting renal damage in streptozotocin induced diabetes. Therefore, the protective mechanism of Telfairia occidentalis might be due to its free radical scavenging potential and antidiabetic property.","publication_date":{"day":14,"month":10,"year":2020,"errors":{}},"grobid_abstract_attachment_id":85841021},"translated_abstract":null,"internal_url":"https://www.academia.edu/78960096/Effects_of_Ethanolic_Extract_of_Telfairia_Occidentalis_on_Glucose_Level_and_Renal_Function_Parameters_in_Streptozotocin_Induced_Diabetic_Rats","translated_internal_url":"","created_at":"2022-05-11T02:57:26.420-07:00","preview_url":null,"current_user_can_edit":null,"current_user_is_owner":null,"owner_id":191858871,"coauthors_can_edit":true,"document_type":"paper","co_author_tags":[],"downloadable_attachments":[{"id":85841021,"title":"","file_type":"pdf","scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/85841021/thumbnails/1.jpg","file_name":"Effects_20of_20Ethanolic_20Extract.pdf","download_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/85841021/download_file?st=MTczMjc2NTU0Myw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&st=MTczMjc2NTU0Myw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&","bulk_download_file_name":"Effects_of_Ethanolic_Extract_of_Telfairi.pdf","bulk_download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/85841021/Effects_20of_20Ethanolic_20Extract-libre.pdf?1652263999=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DEffects_of_Ethanolic_Extract_of_Telfairi.pdf\u0026Expires=1732769143\u0026Signature=M5N73w5e-coJ2mdCdyz8JsP2VqkxdAGQ5VGpWFT6R-p-Z6AJ8R98UMAHK-4tBOFrYXYDQ~PRzgxsPOxQ4nVMZeHUvf3QqIFfZrlISRmY398Mu~otNtaClxmIf~9SZpNYC0stxBVbZ-SB4VNNISaL4K5x4FjrwOmNM8moWveHn3sLiPQRhQb0g7F31DkFXvp~kfE3sMxzgaDu8zeXmelGW4iQNUVNCtYJ-2JseifJfuc-h2hvnWTkO04~QSRokE~MowXi-Wnw735PD8GbY8ld1IOr~naHIGXTtW4itiwJx3Al4eWlZkFXbOejfPVJC~tIRSVsBEhPB6GqZSHduQjO0g__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA"}],"slug":"Effects_of_Ethanolic_Extract_of_Telfairia_Occidentalis_on_Glucose_Level_and_Renal_Function_Parameters_in_Streptozotocin_Induced_Diabetic_Rats","translated_slug":"","page_count":16,"language":"en","content_type":"Work","owner":{"id":191858871,"first_name":"Gift
