One of the acute complications of diabetes is diabetic ketoacidosis characterized by an increase in blood acidity and the formation of ketone bodies which are toxic to the body. It is from this understanding that we evaluated the impact of the consumption of a functional water-soluble salt formulated from sodium bicarbonate «Bicarbon-Plus» in alloxan induced diabetic rats.
For this purpose, 4 batches of 8 rats of the Wistar strain were used. Anthropometric and biochemical parameters were accessed, as well as physiological tolerance.
Bicarbon-Plus significantly reduced blood sugar and ketone levels in diabetic rats. The lost of lot of weight was observed in the diabetic rats that did not received Bicarbon-Plus. An increase in HDL-C levels was observed from the 14th to the 36th day in diabetic rats that consumed the Bicarbon-Plus. The diabetic rats having consumed 0.250 mL/100 g of b.w. Bicarbon-Plus, the ALT level decreased significantly, and the AST level was not significant compared to the diabetic control group. A decrease in creatine and urea levels was observed in diabetic rats that consumed Bicarbon-Plus. And diabetic rats that consumed Bicarbon-Plus have showed an extremely significant decrease in CRP levels, and an extremely significant increase in SOD levels.
So Bicarbon-Plus is alkalizing, lowers ketonemia, hypoglycemic, increases HDL-C, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, hepatoprotective, nephroprotective, and protects the mass of the pancreas. It is safe, and could be recommended for the treatment of diabetes.
The emergence of obesity and diabetes in Ivory Coast due to changes in the population’s lifestyle led us to conduct this study. Ivorian flora abounds in many plants with pharmacological properties. Through this study, we want to find the plants that were best suited to treat both obesity and diabetes. We have found eighteen (18) plant species used for the treatment of diabetes and ten (10) for the treatment of obesity. Among these plants, two of them were the most indicated for the treatment of diabetes, it is Picralima nitida and Catharantus roseus. Similarly for obesity is Cassia senna which was most appropriate. However, it is Moringa oleifera and Phyllanthus amarus that have been mentioned for the treatment of both obesity and diabetes. The Moringa oleifera is used as a dietary supplement. Our study shows that the Moringa oleifera can be recommended for the treatment of diabetes and obesity.
The excessive use of antibiotics has become a global problem our day in light of the emergence of multidrug resistance of bacteria strain. The search for the discovery of new antibiotic is not moving as fast as that. It is with this that we undertook this study. We have developed the health regulator BIOFOR as an alternative to antibiotics for face care that does not require the use of antibiotics. Our study shows that the BIOFOR health regulator stimulates the immune system. There was a significant increase in both leukocyte and lymphocyte count compared to normal. The prophylaxis plan BIOFOR has allowed growth very significantly higher compared to conventional chicken prophylaxis plan. The relative organ weight was allowed to show that organs are well developed. Thus the measurements of AST and ALT enzymes have allowed showing that the BIOFOR prophylaxis has no hepatic, muscle and heart toxicity. The BIOFOR health regulator is a purely natural product made from plants. The results of our work allow saying that the use of the BIOFOR health regulator would be beneficial to human health in order to avoid the systematic use of antibiotics.
