Abstract

Interest in phytochemical therapy methods in the treatment of diabetes is increasing day by day. Although the antidiabetic and antioxidant effects of Cistus laurifolius L. (CL) have been mentioned, the systemic effects remain unknown. The present study aims at evaluating the antidiabetic effects of the CL aqueous extract via metformin on streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats. Forty male Wistar albino rats were divided into five groups of eight animals each: control, diabetic group (55mg/kg STZ), STZ+125mg/kg CL, STZ+250mg/kg CL, and STZ+100mg/kg metformin. The effects of CL and metformin on oxidative, apoptotic, and inflammatory pathways were comparatively investigated. In addition, nuclear factor-κB (NFκB), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), and interleukin (IL)-1β expressions analysis were carried out. CL treatment resulted in a significant improvement in blood glucose levels, lipid profile, pancreatic markers, and liver and kidney function tests. A 250mg/kg CL treatment decreased by 67.9%, 31.6%, 66.8%, 28.3%, and 31.4% in the total oxidant capacity, NFκB, TNF-α, IL-1β, caspase3, and cytochrome c levels, respectively, compared to the diabetic group. Additionally, CL treatments showed a dose-dependent reduction in NFκB...Continue Reading
