Background Dracaena trifasciata (Prain) Mabb. [Asparagaceae; also known as Sansevieria trifasciata Prain (ST)] may have health-promoting activities, including resolution of diabetes mellitus (DM). This in vitro study evaluated whether and how a leaf extract of ST could directly protect pancreas-derived MIN6 cells against the diabetogenic toxin stre...

Mass spectrometry (MS) is a powerful analytical technique that is widely used to characterize a variety of analytes across diverse fields. In the area of biomass conversion, which is essential for producing sustainable materials and energy, the role of MS is pivotal. Biomass conversion processes, such as solvent liquefaction and pyrolysis, generate...

Química Computacional aplicada a la administración transdérmica de Glibenclamida y Metformina en pacientes con Diabetes Mellitus tipo II

White shrimp, Penaeus vannamei, farming represents one of the most important aquaculture activities in the world with a high growth rate. However, intensification processes induce negative side effects on the health of the organism, associated with a dysbiosis phenomenon. Consequently, illnesses, mainly attributable to Vibrio genus bacteria, have b...

High concentrations of fluoride (F−) in drinking water represent a public health threat, and consequently, effective and sustainable methods are required to improve the water quality, mainly in developing and low-income countries. This study focused on the thermodynamics of fluoride adsorption on bone char regenerated with NaOH for water defluorida...

A molecular characterization of the main phytochemicals and antioxidant activity of Opuntia robusta (OR) fruit extract was carried out, as well as an evaluation of its hepatoprotective effect against diclofenac (DF)-induced acute liver injury was evaluated. Phenols, flavonoids and betalains were quantified, and antioxidant characterization was perf...

Liver fibrosis is a chronic disease associated with oxidative stress that has a great impact on the population mortality. Due to their antioxidant capacity, we evaluated the protective effect of Opuntia robusta fruit (Or) on liver fibrosis. A nutraceutical characterization of Or was performed and a model of fibrosis was induced with thioacetamide (...

This study aimed to investigate whether Opuntia spp-extracts protect against diclofenac (DF)-induced hepatotoxicity. Rats were pretreated with Opuntia extracts, betanin (Bet) and N-acetylcysteine (NAC) followed by a single challenge of diclofenac. Liver tissue was collected for biochemical and histological analysis. Primary rat hepatocytes were tre...

This review covers the preparation, characterization, and application of magnetic adsorbents obtained from carbon-based sources and their application in the adsorption of both inorganic and organic pollutants from water. Different preparation routes to obtain magnetic adsorbents from activated carbon, biochar, hydrochar, graphene, carbon dots, carb...

The preparation, characterization and adsorption properties of an avocado seed hydrochar for heavy metal removal are reported in this paper. Equilibrium adsorption of Ni²⁺, Pb²⁺ and Cu²⁺ ions on this hydrochar was experimentally quantified at pH 5 and 298 – 313 K and results were used to interpret the role of surface functionalities via statistical...

In vitro synthesis of uric acid crystals provides an important source to study the process of crystal formation and to understand how the deposition of these crystals induces disease; nevertheless, the described methodologies for the synthesis of uric acid crystals are time‐consuming, depend on the use of high volumes, and the time scale precludes...

Acetaminophen (APAP) misuse or overdose is the most important cause of drug-induced acute liver failure. Overdoses of acetaminophen induce oxidative stress and liver injury by the electrophilic metabolite N-acetyl-p-benzoquinone imine (NAPQI). Plant-based medicine has been used for centuries against diseases or intoxications due to their biological...

This study has focused on the valorization of broccoli stalks, cauliflower cores and coconut shell wastes as adsorbents of heavy metals from aqueous solutions.

Over-the-counter (OTC) analgesics are among the most widely prescribed and purchased drugs around the world. Most analgesics, including non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and acetaminophen, are metabolized in the liver. The hepatocytes are responsible for drug metabolism and detoxification. Cytochrome P450 enzymes are phase I enzymes ex...

Acetaminophen (APAP)-induced acute liver failure (ALF) is a serious health problem in developed countries. N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC), the current therapy for APAP-induced ALF, is not always effective, and liver transplantation is often needed. Opuntia spp. fruits are an important source of nutrients and contain high levels of bioactive compounds, i...
