The global prevalence of obesity is increasing rapidly and high dietary fat intake is major risk factor for the development of obesity. The present study was taken undertaken to evaluate the effect of Argyreia Nervosa Burn.F leaf ethanol extract on serum lipid profile in Wistar male albino rat fed with high fat diet and to compare it with a standard hyperlipidemic drug Sibutramine (10mg/kg). Fifty four health Wistar albino male rats were randomized in to 9 groups of 6 animals each. The groups were followed as follows Group I: Sham operated Normal (Normal Diet), Group II: Control (High fat diet), Group III: Sibutramine 10 mg/kg + HFD, Group IV: EEAN (100mg/kg) + HFD, Group V: EEAN (200mg/kg) +HFD, Group VI: EEAN
(400mg/kg) + HFD, Remaining groups have received different types of extracts at various doses. Lipid profile in serum with high triglyceride (TG) and cholesterol levels were significantly reduced by treatment of 0.5g/day A. nervosa. The A. nervosa markedly lowers the levels of serum cholesterol and VLDL. The present investigation shows that all triton induced rats
displayed hyperlipidemia as shown by their elevated levels of serum and liver cholesterol, triglyceride, PL, VLDL, LDL and the reduction in the HDL level. It can be concluded that 0.5g/day of A. nervosa treatment was effective in reduction of cholesterol, PL, TG, VLDL, LDL and HDL in a dose dependant manner.

Natural remedies from medicinal plants are considered to be effective and safe alternative treatment for liver injury. The present study was conducted to evaluate the hepatoprotective activity of methanolic extract of whole plant of Pulicaria wightiana in wistar rats. The studies were conducted using the two popular inducing agents Paracetamol (2 g/kg, p.o.) in 1% NaCMC and Carbon tetrachloride (1 ml/kg). Silymarin (100 mg/kg, p.o.) was used as reference drug in the respective models. The effect was estimated by measuring the enzymatic levels and histo- pathological studies. The methanolic extract of whole plant of Pulicaria wightiana has shown very significant hepatoprotection against both Paracetamol and CCl4 - induced hepatotoxicity study models in wistar rats. This was evidenced by marked reduction in marker enzymes in serum. Histopathological studies also confirmed the hepatoprotective nature of the extract

Oxidative stress is currently suggested to play a role in the pathogenesis of Diabetes mellitus. The role of dietary management in diabetes mellitus is to provide a proper balance of total nutrients while meeting the special dietary needs of the patient. The present study was designated to evaluate the effect of special antidiabetic diet treatment upon oxidative stress parameters in the initial stages of the development of diabetes. Male Wistar strain rats were used as an experimental model, divided into five groups. A significant decrease in superoxide dismutase and total glutathione activities were observed in the liver of diabetic rats when compared with control animals. The plasma level of aminotransferases, creatine kinase, lactate dehydrogenase and urea were significantly increased after induction of diabetes, in all groups under treatment. In contrast, rats fed special diet food, have shown slight different, but not significant changes. The findings of the present study suggest that special diet formula useful for prevention of progressive hyperglycaemia in age induced diabetes in dogs, could not restore the imbalance of cellular defence mechanism provoked by streptozotocin.

The results suggest Moringa extracts have antidiabetic potential by reducing hyperglycemia and protecting organ function.
Prenatal nutrition; nutrient recommendations before, during & after pregnancypharmaindexing
Nutrition before and during pregnancy has a profound effect on the development of infants. This is a rather critical time for healthy fetal development as infants rely heavily on maternal stores and nutrient for optimal growth and health outcome later in life. Prenatal nutrition addresses nutrient recommendations before and during pregnancy. Birth weight of the newborn at delivery reflects the sufficiency and the quality of maternal nutrient for the fetus during pregnancy. Prenatal nutrition has a strong influence on birth weight and further development of the infant.The present paper reviews the role of prenatal nutrition in pregnancy.

Cissus quadrangularis L. (hadjod) and Trigonella foenum-graecum L. (fenugreek) plant parts are used for fracture healing and as an antidiabetic agent, respectively in traditional medicine. This study aimed to investigate the efficacy of C. quadrangularis stem bark extract (CQ) and T. foenum-graecum seed extract (TFG) therapy for the treatment of type I diabetes induced osteopenia. Alloxan (dissolved in 0.1 M citrate buffer (pH = 4.5); intraperitoneally injected @ 130 mg/kg body weight) induced type I diabetic rats were treated with individual and combined doses of ethanol extracts of CQ and TFG for consecutive 30 days @ 250 and 500 mg per kg body weight, orally. Insulin (0.5 IU/kg body weight) was chosen as standard. Body weight and fasting blood glucose were recorded. Two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) analysis of the femur and tibia were performed using micro-computed tomography (µCT) scan to measure histomorphometric parameters of trabecular and cortical regions and bone mineral density (BMD). Elevated level of fasting blood glucose was restored to the vehicle-treated group after treatment with CQ and TFG. Both the extracts significantly improved trabecular histomorphometric parameters, viz. BMD, percent bone volume, trabecular number, trabecular separation, connection density. Cortical mean total cross-sectional bone area, cross-sectional thickness, mean total cross-sectional tissue area were comparable to the vehicle-treated group. CQ and TFG combination therapy showed a marked improvement in bone microarchitecture and can be given together as a potential alternative medicine to insulin for prevention of type I diabetes induced osteopathy. Therefore, it can be considered in the management of diabetic osteopathy in humans.

Effect of Aqueous Administration of White Grub and Waste Extract on the Level...BRNSS Publication Hub
Introduction: The liver plays a major role in the regulation of carbohydrate metabolism, as it uses glucose as a fuel and kidneys are to excrete metabolic waste products as well as to maintain water, pH, electrolyte balance, production of calcitriol, and hemopoietin. Aim: This study aims to investigate the effect of the administration of white grub and waste on liver and kidney indices on diabetic rats. Materials and Methods: The rats were induced with diabetes by alloxanization and treated with the extracts of white grub and waste for 2 weeks. A total of 25 rats used, were randomly distributed into five groups (G1-G5) each with five rats. G1 served as normal control. G2-G5 served as diabetic control. At the end of the 1st week of extract administration, two animals from each group were randomly selected and sacrificed. At the end of the 2nd week, the remaining three animals from each group were also sacrificed and serum was collected for the determination of liver function indices (serum alkaline phosphatase [ALP], alanine aminotransferase [ALT], aspartate aminotransferase [AST] total bilirubin [TB], direct bilirubin [DB], total protein [TP], albumin [ALB], and globulin [GLB]) and kidney function parameters (urea, creatinine, and electrolyte [sodium “Na,” potassium “K,” bicarbonate “HCO3,” and chloride “Cl”]). Results: After the 1st week, the extract-treated group (G4 and G5) showed significant reductions of ALP, ALT, AST, TP, GLB, and ALB while TB and DB have normal value compared to diabetic untreated group and for renal function (G4 and G5) showed significantly lower levels of urea, Na, K, HCO3, creatinine, and Cl. After the 2nd week, the extract-treated group showed significant reductions of ALP, ALT, AST, DB, TP, ALB, and TB with significant increased levels of GLB and TP compared to diabetic untreated group (G2). G4 (extract treated) showed significantly (P < 0.05) lower levels of urea, Na, Cl, HCO3, and creatinine and with significant increased K levels compared to G2. G5 also extract-treated group indicates significant lower levels of urea, Cl, Na, and HCO3 and higher levels of creatinine and K compared to G2. Conclusion: These results suggest that the administration of aqueous extract of white grub and waste did not have any adverse effect on the liver and kidney functions in diabetic rats. The extracts have positive effect which showed that G4 (treated with whole white grub [WG]) is more effective compared to G5 (treated with WG waste).
This study investigated the effects of administering aqueous extracts of white grub and its waste on liver and kidney function in diabetic rats. Rats were induced with diabetes and treated with the extracts or a diabetes drug for 2 weeks. After both 1 week and 2 weeks of treatment:
- Liver enzymes and proteins were significantly lower in extract-treated groups compared to untreated diabetic rats, indicating protective effects on the liver.
- Kidney parameters like urea and electrolytes were also significantly lower in extract-treated groups, showing renal protection.
- The whole white grub extract seemed to have slightly better effects than the waste extract alone.
- Both extracts appeared to have positive impacts on liver and kidney function in diabetic rats

The present study was undertaken to investigate the protective effect and possible mechanism of
alcoholic (AlE) and aqueous extract (AqE) from Commelina benghalensis root (CB) on EtOH-induced hepatic
injury in Wistar rat. Hepatotoxic parameters studied in vivo include serum transaminases (AST, and ALT),
ALP, bilirubin, protein, lipid profile (Cholesterol, triglyceride, VLDL and HDL) and level of antioxidants
together with histopathological examination. Liv 52® was used as a reference hepatoprotective agent
(5ml/kg-1b.w.). AlE and AqE (200 mg/kg-1b.w.) on oral administration decreased the level of AST, ALP, ALT,
bilirubin, cholesterol, triglyceride, VLDL, MDA and increased the level of protein, HDL and antioxidants (SOD,
GSH and CAT) in rats being treated with ethanol (EtOH). Pentobarbitone -induced sleeping time study was
carried out to verify the effect on microsomal enzymes Histopathological observations confirmed the
beneficial roles of MF against EtOH-induced liver injury in rats. Possible mechanism may involve their

The Ameliorative Potential of Dexmedetomidine and Benincasa Cerifera Extract ...Prof. Hesham N. Mustafa
Renal ischemia/reperfusion injury (IRI) represents the main reason for acute kidney injury (AKI). Dexmedetomidine (Dex) and Benincasa cerifera (BC) have wide benefits due to their anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. This study aims to illustrate the protective effects of BC and Dex on renal IRI in a diabetic model. Sixty adult male albino rats (Wistar strain), weighing 250–300 g, were included in the study. The rats were divided into four groups, as follows: sham group: (non-diabetic); diabetes mellitus (DM) + IRI group: streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats exposed to renal IRI on day 30 after diagnosis of diabetes; DM + IRI + BC group: STZ-induced diabetic rats treated with BC (500 mg/kg) for 30 days after diagnosis of diabetes, then exposed to renal IRI; and DM + IRI + Dex group: STZ-induced diabetic rats treated with Dex (100 µg/kg intraperitoneally) 5 min before induction of ischemia on day 30 after diagnosis of diabetes, then exposed to renal IRI. Biochemical parameters, histopathological examination, and immunohistochemical markers were evaluated. A significant improvement in the biochemical, histopathological, and immunohistochemical parameters were observed in the DM + IRI + BC group, while the DM + IRI + Dex group showed improvements in renal IRI and dyslipidemia. The present study demonstrated that oxidative stress plays a chief role in renal IRI in the STZ-induced diabetic model. Treatment with BC achieved excellent ameliorative effects, while treatment with DEX improved renal IRI.

Effect of Ethanol leaf extract of Chromolaena odorata on lipid profile of str...PUBLISHERJOURNAL
Poor control of diabetes mellitus can result to impairment in lipid profile culminating to dyslipidemia, coronary artery disease and stroke. Measurement of triglyceride (TAG), total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) are recommended in cardiovascular screening. Herbal and natural products have been used in folk medicine for centuries throughout the world. The aim of this research was to determine the effect of ethanol leaf extract of Chromolaena odorata on lipid profile of streptozotocin-induced diabetic wistar albino rats. All the chemicals and reagents used in this research were of analytical grade. A total of 48 rats were randomly divided into 6 groups (n=8): diabetic rats in group 1 were not treated, rather received only 0.5ml normal saline; 0.5mg glibenclamide was given to diabetic rats in group 2; non-diabetic rats in group 3 received 0.5ml normal saline only, diabetic rats that were treated with 250 mg/kg, 350mg/kg and 450mg/kg b.w of ethanol leaf extract of Chromolaena odorata, were labeled groups 4, 5 and 6, respectively. At the end of the 21 days study period, the rats were fasted overnight and blood samples were collected via cardiac puncture. Lipid profile was assayed using standard biochemical methods. Injection of streptozotocin led to a significant (p<0.05) decline in HDL-C while the levels of TAG, TC, and LDL-C increased significantly. Remarkably, treatment with 250 mg/kg, 350mg/kg and 450mg/kg b.w of ethanol leaf extract of Chromolaena odorata led to reversal of the altered lipid profile. However, there were no significant differences (p>0.05) when the Chromolaena odorata extract-treated groups were compared to group 2 rats (treated with glibenclamide), a known standard antidiabetic drug. In conclusion, results from this research indicated that the ethanol leaf extract of Chromolaena odorata possess hypo-cholesterolaemic and hypo-triacylglycerolaemic effects as the extract decreased the LDL-cholesterol and increased the HDL-cholesterol levels.

Biochemical analysis found that after one week, the extract-treated groups showed improvements in liver and kidney function indices compared to the untreated diabetic group. After two weeks, the white grub extract provided even greater benefits, lowering levels of liver enzymes and improving other liver and kidney parameters. The results suggest that the white grub extract did not harm liver or kidney function in diabetic rats and appeared to have protective effects.

Cissus quadrangularis L. (hadjod) and Trigonella foenum-graecum L. (fenugreek) plant parts are used for fracture healing and as an antidiabetic agent, respectively in traditional medicine. This study aimed to investigate the efficacy of C. quadrangularis stem bark extract (CQ) and T. foenum-graecum seed extract (TFG) therapy for the treatment of type I diabetes induced osteopenia. Alloxan (dissolved in 0.1 M citrate buffer (pH = 4.5); intraperitoneally injected @ 130 mg/kg body weight) induced type I diabetic rats were treated with individual and combined doses of ethanol extracts of CQ and TFG for consecutive 30 days @ 250 and 500 mg per kg body weight, orally. Insulin (0.5 IU/kg body weight) was chosen as standard. Body weight and fasting blood glucose were recorded. Two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) analysis of the femur and tibia were performed using micro-computed tomography (µCT) scan to measure histomorphometric parameters of trabecular and cortical regions and bone mineral density (BMD). Elevated level of fasting blood glucose was restored to the vehicle-treated group after treatment with CQ and TFG. Both the extracts significantly improved trabecular histomorphometric parameters, viz. BMD, percent bone volume, trabecular number, trabecular separation, connection density. Cortical mean total cross-sectional bone area, cross-sectional thickness, mean total cross-sectional tissue area were comparable to the vehicle-treated group. CQ and TFG combination therapy showed a marked improvement in bone microarchitecture and can be given together as a potential alternative medicine to insulin for prevention of type I diabetes induced osteopathy. Therefore, it can be considered in the management of diabetic osteopathy in humans.

Effect of Aqueous Administration of White Grub and Waste Extract on the Level...BRNSS Publication Hub
Introduction: The liver plays a major role in the regulation of carbohydrate metabolism, as it uses glucose as a fuel and kidneys are to excrete metabolic waste products as well as to maintain water, pH, electrolyte balance, production of calcitriol, and hemopoietin. Aim: This study aims to investigate the effect of the administration of white grub and waste on liver and kidney indices on diabetic rats. Materials and Methods: The rats were induced with diabetes by alloxanization and treated with the extracts of white grub and waste for 2 weeks. A total of 25 rats used, were randomly distributed into five groups (G1-G5) each with five rats. G1 served as normal control. G2-G5 served as diabetic control. At the end of the 1st week of extract administration, two animals from each group were randomly selected and sacrificed. At the end of the 2nd week, the remaining three animals from each group were also sacrificed and serum was collected for the determination of liver function indices (serum alkaline phosphatase [ALP], alanine aminotransferase [ALT], aspartate aminotransferase [AST] total bilirubin [TB], direct bilirubin [DB], total protein [TP], albumin [ALB], and globulin [GLB]) and kidney function parameters (urea, creatinine, and electrolyte [sodium “Na,” potassium “K,” bicarbonate “HCO3,” and chloride “Cl”]). Results: After the 1st week, the extract-treated group (G4 and G5) showed significant reductions of ALP, ALT, AST, TP, GLB, and ALB while TB and DB have normal value compared to diabetic untreated group and for renal function (G4 and G5) showed significantly lower levels of urea, Na, K, HCO3, creatinine, and Cl. After the 2nd week, the extract-treated group showed significant reductions of ALP, ALT, AST, DB, TP, ALB, and TB with significant increased levels of GLB and TP compared to diabetic untreated group (G2). G4 (extract treated) showed significantly (P < 0.05) lower levels of urea, Na, Cl, HCO3, and creatinine and with significant increased K levels compared to G2. G5 also extract-treated group indicates significant lower levels of urea, Cl, Na, and HCO3 and higher levels of creatinine and K compared to G2. Conclusion: These results suggest that the administration of aqueous extract of white grub and waste did not have any adverse effect on the liver and kidney functions in diabetic rats. The extracts have positive effect which showed that G4 (treated with whole white grub [WG]) is more effective compared to G5 (treated with WG waste).
This study investigated the effects of administering aqueous extracts of white grub and its waste on liver and kidney function in diabetic rats. Rats were induced with diabetes and treated with the extracts or a diabetes drug for 2 weeks. After both 1 week and 2 weeks of treatment:
- Liver enzymes and proteins were significantly lower in extract-treated groups compared to untreated diabetic rats, indicating protective effects on the liver.
- Kidney parameters like urea and electrolytes were also significantly lower in extract-treated groups, showing renal protection.
- The whole white grub extract seemed to have slightly better effects than the waste extract alone.
- Both extracts appeared to have positive impacts on liver and kidney function in diabetic rats

The Ameliorative Potential of Dexmedetomidine and Benincasa Cerifera Extract ...Prof. Hesham N. Mustafa
Renal ischemia/reperfusion injury (IRI) represents the main reason for acute kidney injury (AKI). Dexmedetomidine (Dex) and Benincasa cerifera (BC) have wide benefits due to their anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. This study aims to illustrate the protective effects of BC and Dex on renal IRI in a diabetic model. Sixty adult male albino rats (Wistar strain), weighing 250–300 g, were included in the study. The rats were divided into four groups, as follows: sham group: (non-diabetic); diabetes mellitus (DM) + IRI group: streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats exposed to renal IRI on day 30 after diagnosis of diabetes; DM + IRI + BC group: STZ-induced diabetic rats treated with BC (500 mg/kg) for 30 days after diagnosis of diabetes, then exposed to renal IRI; and DM + IRI + Dex group: STZ-induced diabetic rats treated with Dex (100 µg/kg intraperitoneally) 5 min before induction of ischemia on day 30 after diagnosis of diabetes, then exposed to renal IRI. Biochemical parameters, histopathological examination, and immunohistochemical markers were evaluated. A significant improvement in the biochemical, histopathological, and immunohistochemical parameters were observed in the DM + IRI + BC group, while the DM + IRI + Dex group showed improvements in renal IRI and dyslipidemia. The present study demonstrated that oxidative stress plays a chief role in renal IRI in the STZ-induced diabetic model. Treatment with BC achieved excellent ameliorative effects, while treatment with DEX improved renal IRI.

This document summarizes a study that induced diabetes in rats through intravenous injection of streptozotocin. The study aimed to compare changes in body weight, food/water consumption, urine volume, and blood glucose, insulin, and C-peptide levels between normal and diabetic rats. Rats injected with 60 mg/kg streptozotocin developed diabetes within 3 days as the drug destroyed pancreatic beta cells. Diabetic rats showed increased glucose, water/food intake, and urine output compared to normal rats, but decreased weight, insulin, and C-peptide levels. Pancreas sampling confirmed beta cell destruction in diabetic rats. The study concluded streptozotocin successfully induced diabetes in rats through beta cell degeneration.

This research article studied the effects of quercetin (QCT) on experimentally induced diabetes in rats. Rats were divided into three groups: a control group, a diabetic group induced with streptozotocin (STZ), and a QCT-treated group that received QCT before and after STZ induction. Blood glucose levels increased significantly in the diabetic group but decreased in the QCT-treated group. Histological analysis found that STZ caused pancreatic beta cell degeneration and inflammation in the diabetic group. QCT treatment reversed many of these changes in the pancreas and increased beta cell numbers. Immunohistochemistry revealed that STZ increased iNOS and caspase-3, markers of inflammation and apoptosis, while QCT

Aqueous extract of Phaseolus Vulgaris L. (Red Kidney Beans) was investigated for its effects in
alloxan induced-diabetic rats. Twenty four albino rats were randomly allocated into four groups (A-D) of six
rats each such that group A (diabetes control) received 0.5 mL distilled water, group B (diabetes) received
400 mg/kg bwt of extract, group C (normal control) received 0.5 mL of distilled water while group D (normal)
received 400 mg/kg bwt of extract, all extract were orally administered once daily for 14 days. Diabetes was
induced in groups A&B by single interperitonial injection of 150 mg/kg alloxan monohydrate. Phytochemical
screening indicated the presence of alkaloids, balsam, flavonoids, saponins, tannins, cyanogenic glycosides,
terpenes and steroids. The hypoglyceamic potential of Phasoelus vulgaris L. was expressed in diabetes
treated rats. Blood glucose, total protein, albumin and cholesterol levels of the diabetes treated rats and
normal treated rats were not significantly (p>0.05) altered when compared with the control rats. However,
these values were significantly (p<0.05)><0.05)>0.05) effects on PCV and Hb in all groups when compared to the normal control. The study showed that

Effect of Ethanol leaf extract of Chromolaena odorata on lipid profile of str...PUBLISHERJOURNAL
Poor control of diabetes mellitus can result to impairment in lipid profile culminating to dyslipidemia, coronary artery disease and stroke. Measurement of triglyceride (TAG), total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) are recommended in cardiovascular screening. Herbal and natural products have been used in folk medicine for centuries throughout the world. The aim of this research was to determine the effect of ethanol leaf extract of Chromolaena odorata on lipid profile of streptozotocin-induced diabetic wistar albino rats. All the chemicals and reagents used in this research were of analytical grade. A total of 48 rats were randomly divided into 6 groups (n=8): diabetic rats in group 1 were not treated, rather received only 0.5ml normal saline; 0.5mg glibenclamide was given to diabetic rats in group 2; non-diabetic rats in group 3 received 0.5ml normal saline only, diabetic rats that were treated with 250 mg/kg, 350mg/kg and 450mg/kg b.w of ethanol leaf extract of Chromolaena odorata, were labeled groups 4, 5 and 6, respectively. At the end of the 21 days study period, the rats were fasted overnight and blood samples were collected via cardiac puncture. Lipid profile was assayed using standard biochemical methods. Injection of streptozotocin led to a significant (p<0.05) decline in HDL-C while the levels of TAG, TC, and LDL-C increased significantly. Remarkably, treatment with 250 mg/kg, 350mg/kg and 450mg/kg b.w of ethanol leaf extract of Chromolaena odorata led to reversal of the altered lipid profile. However, there were no significant differences (p>0.05) when the Chromolaena odorata extract-treated groups were compared to group 2 rats (treated with glibenclamide), a known standard antidiabetic drug. In conclusion, results from this research indicated that the ethanol leaf extract of Chromolaena odorata possess hypo-cholesterolaemic and hypo-triacylglycerolaemic effects as the extract decreased the LDL-cholesterol and increased the HDL-cholesterol levels.

The binding of cosmological structures by massless topological defectsSérgio Sacani
Assuming spherical symmetry and weak field, it is shown that if one solves the Poisson equation or the Einstein field
equations sourced by a topological defect, i.e. a singularity of a very specific form, the result is a localized gravitational
field capable of driving flat rotation (i.e. Keplerian circular orbits at a constant speed for all radii) of test masses on a thin
spherical shell without any underlying mass. Moreover, a large-scale structure which exploits this solution by assembling
concentrically a number of such topological defects can establish a flat stellar or galactic rotation curve, and can also deflect
light in the same manner as an equipotential (isothermal) sphere. Thus, the need for dark matter or modified gravity theory is
mitigated, at least in part.
Authoring a personal GPT for your research and practice: How we created the Q...Leonel Morgado
Thematic analysis in qualitative research is a time-consuming and systematic task, typically done using teams. Team members must ground their activities on common understandings of the major concepts underlying the thematic analysis, and define criteria for its development. However, conceptual misunderstandings, equivocations, and lack of adherence to criteria are challenges to the quality and speed of this process. Given the distributed and uncertain nature of this process, we wondered if the tasks in thematic analysis could be supported by readily available artificial intelligence chatbots. Our early efforts point to potential benefits: not just saving time in the coding process but better adherence to criteria and grounding, by increasing triangulation between humans and artificial intelligence. This tutorial will provide a description and demonstration of the process we followed, as two academic researchers, to develop a custom ChatGPT to assist with qualitative coding in the thematic data analysis process of immersive learning accounts in a survey of the academic literature: QUAL-E Immersive Learning Thematic Analysis Helper. In the hands-on time, participants will try out QUAL-E and develop their ideas for their own qualitative coding ChatGPT. Participants that have the paid ChatGPT Plus subscription can create a draft of their assistants. The organizers will provide course materials and slide deck that participants will be able to utilize to continue development of their custom GPT. The paid subscription to ChatGPT Plus is not required to participate in this workshop, just for trying out personal GPTs during it.
The debris of the ‘last major merger’ is dynamically youngSérgio Sacani
The Milky Way’s (MW) inner stellar halo contains an [Fe/H]-rich component with highly eccentric orbits, often referred to as the
‘last major merger.’ Hypotheses for the origin of this component include Gaia-Sausage/Enceladus (GSE), where the progenitor
collided with the MW proto-disc 8–11 Gyr ago, and the Virgo Radial Merger (VRM), where the progenitor collided with the
MW disc within the last 3 Gyr. These two scenarios make different predictions about observable structure in local phase space,
because the morphology of debris depends on how long it has had to phase mix. The recently identified phase-space folds in Gaia
DR3 have positive caustic velocities, making them fundamentally different than the phase-mixed chevrons found in simulations
at late times. Roughly 20 per cent of the stars in the prograde local stellar halo are associated with the observed caustics. Based
on a simple phase-mixing model, the observed number of caustics are consistent with a merger that occurred 1–2 Gyr ago.
We also compare the observed phase-space distribution to FIRE-2 Latte simulations of GSE-like mergers, using a quantitative
measurement of phase mixing (2D causticality). The observed local phase-space distribution best matches the simulated data
1–2 Gyr after collision, and certainly not later than 3 Gyr. This is further evidence that the progenitor of the ‘last major merger’
did not collide with the MW proto-disc at early times, as is thought for the GSE, but instead collided with the MW disc within
the last few Gyr, consistent with the body of work surrounding the VRM.

ESR spectroscopy in liquid food and beverages.pptxPRIYANKA PATEL
With increasing population, people need to rely on packaged food stuffs. Packaging of food materials requires the preservation of food. There are various methods for the treatment of food to preserve them and irradiation treatment of food is one of them. It is the most common and the most harmless method for the food preservation as it does not alter the necessary micronutrients of food materials. Although irradiated food doesn’t cause any harm to the human health but still the quality assessment of food is required to provide consumers with necessary information about the food. ESR spectroscopy is the most sophisticated way to investigate the quality of the food and the free radicals induced during the processing of the food. ESR spin trapping technique is useful for the detection of highly unstable radicals in the food. The antioxidant capability of liquid food and beverages in mainly performed by spin trapping technique.

3. Diabetes mellitus (DM) is metabolic disorders(1).
DM is characterized by insulin deficiency and insulin resistance(2).
According to the International Diabetes Federation (IDF), in 2019, 4.2 million deaths; and 463 million adults
aged between 20 and 79 years old were living with diabetes, It will rise up to 700 million by 2045.(3)
India is “Diabetes Capital of the World (4)
90% of diabetes mellitus cases are T2DM (3)(5).
Liver is the “metabolic engine–room of the body”(9).
Any liver damage or injury caused by drugs or chemicals is called hepatotoxicity(10),(6).
T2DM represents a major risk factor for NAFLD with over 55% of persons living with T2DM being affected
by NAFLD(7).
Main cause of hepatic injury, drugs like Acetaminophen, Carbon tetrachloride, INH & RIF which contain
toxic agents can also cause hepatocyte damage leading to liver injury(8),(11).
The best-known hepatoxicity agents were INH and RIF(12,13).

7. According to Abiodun Oyindamola O et al. (2022) studied TD2 in Wistar rats was induced with
nicotinamide/streptozotocin (NA/STZ). Serum glucose, lipid profiles, brain tumour necrosis factor alpha
(TNF-α) were determined. The Wistar rats were fasted overnight, subsequently TD2 was induced by
administering 110mg/kg NA intraperitoneally in physiological saline 15min prior to intravenous injection of
freshly prepared 65mg/kg STZ using 0.1mol/l (pH 4.5) cold citrate buffer(24).
According to M. A. Buabeid et al. (2021) studied, observed and reported that antituberculosis drugs are
significantly cause hepatotoxicity, which varies from asymptomatic rise of the hepatic enzymes.
Hepatotoxicity was induced by INH + RIF (75+ 150 mg/kg) were dissolved in 1.5 ml distilled water to rats
individually once a day for a period of seven days for inducing hepatotoxicity(25).
Review of Literature

8. 7. According to Srivastava R and K Sharma et al. (2008), studied, they were performed animal study, The
coexistence of tuberculosis and diabetes is common in patients who receive inadequate treatment. The risk of
hepatotoxicity from many toxicants is increased in diabetic rats. Silymarin provides protection against liver
injury caused by many hepatotoxicants, including antitubercular drugs (ATDs). In the wake of increased severity
of ATD-induced hepatotoxicity in diabetes they report that a study on the influence of diabetes on silymarin
hepatoprotection in rats.
Rats with diabetes induced via intraperitoneally injected streptozotocin (50 mg/kg), nondiabetic rats and
insulin-treated diabetic rats received [INH +RIFA + Pyrazinamide orally (p.o.)] with or without silymarin (100
mg/kg/day p.o.) treatment for 45 days. They studied and compared to nondiabetic rats, liver function tests and
histological changes of liver revealed exaggerated liver injury in diabetic rats caused by ATDs. These results
thus indicate that diabetes exaggerates ATD-induced liver injury and attenuates silymarin-induced
hepatoprotection(29).

Discussion
Diabetes affects a lot of communities around the world.
In 55–80% of diabetics, has been excessive glycogen deposition, fibrosis, cirrhosis, steatohepatitis,
and biliary disease in the liver patients(39).
A significant amount of liver damage is induced by lipid peroxidation and other oxidative damages
like GSH, CAT which are caused by the hepatotoxic chemicals(40),(41).
Then after SPL was given dose dependently in the same group of animals for last in 15 days (i.e.,
treatment started from day 17-28) at dose levels of 5 and 10 mg/kg p.o..
Observed that the blood glucose levels were found to be significantly decreased in the SPL2 group
whereas SPL at low dose was failed to reduce the excessive blood glucose level.
Therefore, from the above result SPL may consider as an antidiabetic potential. 5 mg/kg p.o. and
SPL at the dose of 10 mg/kg p.o. (59.14±5.10), (81.98±4.34) shows significantly decreased blood
glucose level as compared to disease control group.
33. 33/ 42
Discussion
Coexistence of tuberculosis and diabetes is common in patients who body weight get reduce(42).
SPL has been shown the significant effect to restore the body weight,
In previous study researcher found that the levels of serum liver enzymes (AST, ALT, ALP & GGT)
were measured by a Chemistry Analyzer.
SPL-2(51.49 ± 9.0) show the more effect for reduction of ALT level than SPL-1(26.76 ± 9.03)
The treatment of animals with Scopoletin at the dosage of 5 mg/kg groups for 28 days resulted in the
significant restoration of ALT level in the experimental animals.
The SPL-2 shows a higher effect as compared to SPL-1, was found to be a decrease in AST level in
the experimental animals.
SPL treatment group SPL 5 and 10mg/kg p.o. (38.67 ± 3.84) this treatment in rats shown the
significantly decrease level of GGT.
34. 34/ 42
Discussion
Oxidative stress parameters were evaluated. GSH, CAT, and LPO by using suitable methods.
The MET treatment group and MET+SILY treated group also has shown the significant increase level of
GSH level in rats (1.005 ± 0.6677), (1.119 ± 0.7817) as compared to STZ-NTA+INH-RIFA treated group.
Whereas, SPL has been shown the significant effect to restore the GSH level, but MET+ SILY group
shows more effect than lower dose and higher dose of SPL.
The observed effect of SPL on GSH level at the dosage 10mg/kg were found to be significant.
According to the H. Javdani et al, he reported that in hepatotoxic condition, the level of LPO was found to
be decrease(15);
In our study, in disease conditions, increase in the level of LPO in the disease group.
Whereas, in SPL2 shown reduction of elevated level of GSH.
The observed effect of Scopoletin on GSH levels at the dosage of 10 mg/kg was found to be significant.
Hence, we predicted that the selected Test drug might have antioxidant potential was found to be
effective against to treat diabetes associated hepatotoxicity of Anti TB drug (Isoniazid & Rifampicin).

Conclusion
Conclusion
The main objective of this study was to critically evaluate the effect of test drug i.e. Scopoletin (6-methoxy-7-
hydroxycoumarin) in, the treatment of diabetes mellitus and its complications like hepatotoxicity induced by anti-tubercular
drugs in experimental animals.
After preclinical evaluation of different parameters such as blood glucose level, body weight, liver enzyme markers
(ALT, AST, ALP and GGT). Scopoletin decreased the tissue lipid peroxidation and increased the levels of anti- oxidant
enzymes like GSH, CAT and SOD in the liver tissues. These findings shows that Scopoletin can be used as a source of anti-
oxidant for the liver. Scopoletin showed hepatoprotective effect in Type-II DM comorbidity condition.
These estimated findings indicated that Scopoletin exhibited the protective effects against in anti-tubercular drug
induced hepatotoxicity in diabetic animals. This study could have the scope for further investigation to confirm the
molecular mechanism of Scopoletin for their effectiveness against Anti- TB drug such as INH-RIFA induced hepatotoxicity
in diabetic rats and will become promising therapy over to control and prevent the worsening of diabetes and associated co-
morbidities.
