Evaluation of Citral and Green Silver Nanoparticles From Cymbopogon citratus Extract on Biochemical Profile and Nrf2 Gene Expression in Liver Tissue of Type 2 Diabetic Rats
Observational analysis revealed improved liver function tests and nrf2 gene expression in type 2 diabetic rats, highlighting the potential of citral and silver nanoparticles.
Key Points
Treatment with Cymbopogon citratus significantly improved liver function tests in type 2 diabetic rats, indicating effective liver protection.
The expression of the nrf2 gene increased in the treatment groups compared to diabetes group, suggesting enhanced antioxidative response.
Levels of malondialdehyde (MDA) decreased significantly post-treatment, linking it to reduced oxidative stress in liver tissue.
Histopathological examination confirmed restoration to normal liver conditions after treatment, emphasizing the therapeutic potential.
