The effects of polyphenols extracted fromSambucus nigrafruit were studied in streptozotocin- (STZ-) induced hyperglycemic rats to evaluate its possible antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antiglycosylation activity, and antiosteoporosis effects in diabetes. DEXA bone mineral density tests were performed in order to determine bone mineral density (BMD), bone mineral content (BMC), and fat (%Fat) in control and diabetic animals, before and after polyphenol delivery. As compared to the normoglycemic group, the rats treated with STZ (60 mg/kg body weight) revealed a significant malondialdehyde (MDA) increase, as an index of the lipid peroxidation level, by 69%, while the total antioxidant activity (TAS) dropped by 36%, with a consistently significant decrease () in the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GPX). Also, the treatment of rats with STZ revealed a significant increase of IL-6, glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1c), and osteopenia detected by DEXA bone mineral density tests. The recorded results highlight a significant improvement () in the antioxidative capacity of the serum in diabetic rats treated with natural polyphenols, bringing back to normal the concentration of reduced glutathione (GSH), as well as an important decrease in the serum concentration of MDA, with improved osteoporosis status. Knowing the effects of polyphenols could lead to the use of the polyphenolic extract ofSambucus nigraas a dietary supplement in diabetic osteoporosis.

Aim: Diabetic wound healing is seriously interrupted, and administration of KGF for wound treatment is restricted by its inherent instability. We aim to develop an ideal way toward KGF stabilization, thus improving diabetic wound healing. Materials & methods: We conjugated KGF with gold nanoparticles (GNPs) and determined the stability and binding affinity. Biological effects of conjugates (KGF-GNPs) were evaluated in vitro and in an animal model. Results: KGF-GNPs revealed high stability under hostile circumstances because of the preserved secondary structure and possessed elevated binding affinity to KGF receptor. Moreover, application of KGF-GNPs contributed to accelerated wound recovery in diabetic rats, including re-epithelialization and contraction. Conclusion: KGF-GNPs were promising for future clinical application for diabetic wound therapy.
