Publication Open Access Antidiabetic effects of Salvia triloba and Thymus praecox subsp. skorpilii var. skorpilii in a rat model of streptozotocin/nicotinamide-induced diabetes(MARMARA UNIV, FAC PHARMACY, 2017-10-03) ERTAŞ, BÜŞRA; Cam, Muhammet Emin; Yildiz, Sila; Ertas, Busra; Acar, Ayse Eda; Taskin, Turgut; Kabasakal, LeventSome Salvia and Thymus species of Lamiaceae family come into prominence with strong antidiabetic effects. Compared to the other species, there are limited studies on antidiabetic activity of Salvia triloba (ST) and Thymus praecox subsp. skorpilii var. skorpilii (TPS). The aim of this study was to adjust the dosage and to determine the antidiabetic effects of methanol extracts of ST and TPS in streptozotocin/nicotinamide-induced diabetic rats. Type II diabetes mellitus (T2DM) was induced by a single intraperitoneal (i. p.) injection of streptozotocin (STZ) dissolved in 0.1 M cold citrate buffer (pH 4.5) at a dose of 55 mg/kg/body weight (b.w.) and nicotinamide (100 mg/kg/b.w.) was given prior to STZ injection. For adjusting dosage, oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) was used while insulin tolerance test (ITT), OGTT, blood glucose levels and animal weights were used to evaluate the antidiabetic effects of ST and TPS. According to the OGTT, the most effective doses for ST and TPS were 200 mg/kg and 100 mg/kg, respectively. At the end of three weeks, blood glucose levels of control goup reached to 462.50 mg/dl, whereas ST and TPS-treated groups blood glucose levels decreased less than 200.00 mg/dl. In conclusion, the present study suggests that both of ST and TPS methanolic extracts may be of therapeutic benefit in diabetes and thus need to further studies.Publication Open Access Rosa canina L. improves learning and memory-associated cognitive impairment by regulating glucose levels and reducing hippocampal insulin resistance in high-fat diet/streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats(2023-09-15) ERTAŞ, BÜŞRA; YAVUZ, AYŞE NUR; TAŞKIN, TURGUT; ÇAM, MUHAMMET EMİN; ERTAŞ B., YAVUZ A. N., Topal F., Keles-Kaya R., Karakus Ö., Ozcan G. S., TAŞKIN T., ÇAM M. E.Ethnopharmacological relevance: Recent studies claim that Type-2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and Alzheimer\"s disease (AD) overlap in several common pathological pathways which from neuronal damage to impaired memory performance. It is known that the use of Rosa canina L. (R. canina) as medicine in folk medicine dates back to ancient times and is used in the treatment of nervous diseases in Persian medicine. However, the effect of R. canina on diabetes-related cognitive decline and memory impairment has not yet been studied. Aim of the study: We evaluated the impact of T2DM on AD-like alterations and examined the molecular mechanism of a possible effect of R. canina on cognitive alterations in diabetic rats. Materials&methods: R. canina ethanol extract was obtained by maceration method. This study was performed with male Sprague-Dawley rats fed with a high-fat diet (HFD) for 8 weeks, low-dose streptozotocin (STZ; 35 mg/kg IP) injection for 4 weeks, and R. canina (250 mg/kg; per oral) and metformin (400 mg/kg; per oral) administration for 4 weeks. The weight and blood glucose of rats were measured weekly. To evaluate glucose tolerance area under the curve (AUC) was calculated by performing an oral glucose tolerance test. Then the rats were subjected to behavioural tests, and their hippocampus and cortex tissues were obtained for biochemical and morphological analyses. Results: R. canina could manage glucose responsiveness by reducing post-prandial blood glucose levels, preventing weight loss, and raising serum insulin levels in T2DM-induced rats. Behavioural tests showed that R. canina significantly improves diabetes-related cognitive decline in recall and long-term memory. Treatment with R. canina significantly reversed HFD/STZ-induced increases in insulin, amyloid-β, amyloid precursor protein levels, and acetylcholinesterase activity in the prefrontal cortex and hippocampus. Furthermore, histological analyzes revealed the protection of R. canina against neuronal disruption in the cortical and hippocampal CA3 region caused by chronic hyperglycemia. Conclusion: Analyzed collectively, these results suggest that R. canina can correct T2DM-related cognitive decline may be attributed to insulin pathway modulation, prevention of amyloid deposition, and increased cholinergic transmission.Publication Open Access Accelerated diabetic wound healing by topical application of combination oral antidiabetic agents-loaded nanofibrous scaffolds: An in vitro and in vivo evaluation study(ELSEVIER, 2021-02) YAVUZ, AYŞE NUR; Cam, Muhammet Emin; Ertas, Busra; Alenezi, Hussain; Hazar-Yavuz, Ayse Nur; Cesur, Sumeyye; Ozcan, Gul Sinemcan; Ekentok, Ceyda; Guler, Ece; Katsakouli, Christina; Demirbas, Zehra; Akakin, Dilek; Eroglu, Mehmet Sayip; Kabasakal, Levent; Gunduz, Oguzhan; Edirisinghe, MohanThe combination of oral antidiabetic drugs, pioglitazone, metformin, and glibenclamide, which also exhibit the strongest anti-inflammatory action among oral antidiabetic drugs, were loaded into chitosan/gelatin/polycaprolactone (PCL) by electrospinning and polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP)/PCL composite nanofibrous scaffolds by pressurized gyration to compare the diabetic wound healing effect. The combination therapies significantly accelerated diabetic wound healing in type-1 diabetic rats and organized densely packed collagen fibers in the dermis, it also showed better regeneration of the dermis and epidermis than single drug-loaded scaffolds with less inflammatory cell infiltration and edema. The formation of the hair follicles started in 14 days only in the combination therapy and lower proinflammatory cytokine levels were observed compared to single drug-loaded treatment groups. The combination therapy increased the wettability and hydrophilicity of scaffolds, demonstrated sustained drug release over 14 days, has high tensile strength and suitable cytocompatibility on L929 (mouse fibroblast) cell and created a suitable area for the proliferation of fibroblast cells. Consequently, the application of metformin and pioglitazone-loaded chitosan/gelatin/PCL nanofibrous scaffolds to a diabetic wound area offer high bioavailability, fewer systemic side effects, and reduced frequency of dosage and amount of drug.Publication Open Access The comparision of glybenclamide and metformin-loaded bacterial cellulose/gelatin nanofibres produced by a portable electrohydrodynamic gun for diabetic wound healing(PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 2020-07) YAVUZ, AYŞE NUR; Cam, Muhammet Emin; Crabbe-Mann, Maryam; Alenezi, Hussain; Hazar-Yavuz, Ayse Nur; Ertas, Busra; Ekentok, Ceyda; Ozcan, Gul Sinemcan; Topal, Fadime; Guler, Ece; Yazir, Yusufhan; Parhizkar, Maryam; Edirisinghe, MohanWound dressings made from natural polymers are an important aspect of biomaterials. Protein-based materials are less likely to instigate an immunogenic response and have the capacity to degrade in vivo, also without triggering an inflammatory response. Therefore, gelatin (GEL) was chosen and combined with bacterial cellulose (BC) to produce nanofibres and the potential of an all-natural polymer construct was determined. GEL and BC were successfully electrospun with metformin (Met) and glybenclamide (Gb) using a portable, point of need electrospinning set up. The virgin fibre group exhibited a significant effect on the proliferation of L929 (mouse fibroblast) cells but all fibre samples can safely be applied on wound site without risk of cytotoxicity. According to the results obtained by animal tests, the GEL-BC-Gb group showed better recovery than the GEL-BC-Met group. Diabetic wounds treated with GEL-BC-Met were characterized by moderate re-epithelialization and partially organized granulation tissue. Moderate to complete re-epithelialization and well-formed granulation tissue were observed in diabetic wounds treated with GEL-BC-Gb. The histologic scores obtained on day 14 confirmed that the GEL-BC-Gb group played a stronger wound-healing role compared to the GEL-BC-Met group. The highest decrease of TNF-alpha level was observed in the GEL-BC-Gb group at the end of the experiment but there is no significant difference between drug-loaded fibre groups. Therefore, topical administration of ma and Gb in a sustained release form has a high potential for diabetic wound healing with high bioavailability and fewer systemic side effects but Gb showed better improvement according to the results of the animal tests.
