Abstract Title:
Protective effect of hydroalcoholic extracts of. on pancreaticβ cell line (RIN-5F) against cytotoxicty of streptozotocin.
Abstract:
Natural plants have traditionally been used throughout the world for their anti-diabetic effects. The aim of the present study was to investigate the protective effect of hydroalcoholic extract of. () on streptozotocin (STZ) cytotoxicity and insulin concentration from RIN-5F pancreaticβ cell line. In this study, possible cytoprotective action ofextract (using pre-treatment, simultaneous, and post-treatment schedules) against STZ (30 mM) was evaluated using MTT assay. Apoptosis was quantified by fluorescent dye staining. Also, the effect of extract on insulin secretion in low and high glucose media was examined. Data were analyzed by one-way ANOVA test and
