Salvia deserti Decne., an endemic and rare subshrub from Arabian desert: antidiabetic and antihyperlipidemic effects of leaf hydroethanolic extracts by Arbi Guetat, Slimen Selmi, Abdelrhman T. Abdelwahab, Marwa A. Abdelfattah, Abd Ealrhman M. Elhaj, Roaa T. Mogharbel, M. J. A. Abualreish, Abdullah F. Alanazi, Karim Hosni, Naceur Mejri, Abdennacer Boulila

“…Moreover, treatment with S. deserti hydroethanolic extract relieved oxidative stress (reduction of MDA and H2O2) and the activity of antioxidant enzymes SOD, CAT and GPx. The presence of several phenolic compounds (derivatives of ferulic, coumaric, and caffeic acids, among other derivatives) could at least in part explain the obtained data and empower the use of S. deserti as a source of bioactive ingredients with antioxidant, antidiabetic and antihyperlipidemic properties.DiscussionOur research has unveiled S. deserti as a source of potential to effectively manage diabetes and its associated dyslipidemia by improving antioxidant status, recovery of the liver and kidney functions and presumably by increasing insulin secretion and sensitivity of peripheral tissues to insulin.…”

Crinum jagus (J. Thomps. Dandy): Antioxidant and protective properties as a medicinal plant on toluene-induced oxidative stress damages in liver and kidney of rats by Mariama, Salihu, Gaber, El-Saber Batiha, Keneth Iceland, Kasozi, George D., Zouganelis, Souty M.Z., Sharkawi, Eman, Ibrahim Ahmed, Ibe Michael, Usman, Halima, Nalugo, Juma J., Ochieng, Ibrahim, Ssengendo, Olatayo Segun, Okeniran, Theophilus, Pius, Kyobe Ronald, Kimanje, Eric Simidi, Kegoye, Ritah, Kenganzi, Fred Ssempijja

“…The findings showed that toluene is a very aggressive xenobiotic due to the promotion of oxidative stress and peroxidation of cellular lipids, but C. jagus leaves provide significant protection through the reducing power of nonenzymatic antioxidants and their ability to induce endogenous antioxidant enzymes (SOD, CAT, and glutathione reductase or GR) causing reduced cellular lipid peroxidation and tissue damages, quickened tissue repair, and improved cell biology of liver and kidneys during toluene toxicity. …”
