A Therapeutic Approach of Chitosan-loaded p-Coumaric Acid Nanoparticles to Alleviate Diabetic Nephropathy in Wister Rats.

Objective: This study evaluated the renoprotective effects of p-Coumaric acid nanoparticles (PCNPs) in nephropathic rats.

Methods: Six groups of male Albino Wistar rats were randomly assigned. Group 1 was the control, while Group 2 received 45 mg/kg of streptozotocin (STZ) to induce diabetic nephropathy.

Hydroxycitric acid and capsaicin combination alleviates obesity-induced testicular apoptosis, oxidative stress and inflammation.

Recent research in rodents suggests that oxidative stress, inflammation, and apoptosis in the testes caused by high-fat diets (HFD) are a cause of male infertility. To investigate the therapeutic efficacy of the combination of hydroxycitric acid and capsaicin (HCC) against male reproductive disorders, we developed an HFD-induced obese rat model. Rats received HFD supplementation for 21 weeks, which induced obesity.
