Abstract |
The protective effect of Syzygium jambos (SJ) bark extract against streptozotocin-induced diabetes was tested in rats. Animals were treated with 100 or 200 mg/kg of the extract or glibenclamide, 0.5 mg/kg per os, once daily: started 2 days before streptozotocin (STZ) injection and lasted for 14 days after STZ injection. The effect of the extract was also evaluated on normal rats in comparison with glibenclamide. Diabetic animals showed an elevated blood glucose level, positive glycosuria, elevated fructosamine, pancreatic malondialdehyde, pancreatic TNF- , and pancreatic caspase-3 levels and decreased serum insulin, pancreatic IL-10, pancreatic BCL-2, reduced glutathione (GSH), liver insulin substrate-2, liver phosphorylated protein kinase B (p-AKT) and liver glucose transporter 4 (GLUT4) levels. Histopathological examination of diabetic rats revealed islets destruction and vacuolation and collagen fibers deposition. All these changes were mitigated dose dependently by the extract. The high dose of the extract exerted comparable effects with glibenclamide in most studied parameters. These results indicated the protective role of SJ against the STZ diabetogenic action. In the pancreatic and hepatic tissue of diabetic rats, SJ effectively recovered pancreatic cells by reducing hyperglycemia through activating endogenous antioxidants, dynamic insulin production, and suppressing inflammation and apoptosis. The observed results might be attributed to the existence of 10 secondary metabolites as annotated by LC-MS. Taken together, S. jambos is a potential candidate for further studies to confirm its activities as a therapeutic agent for diabetic patients.
