The aim of this study was to investigate the short term
effect of aqueous-ethanolic extract of garlic in preventing and curing
nephropathy following induced diabetes in rats using streptozotocin (STZ),
with the help of stereological methods. Thirty two male wistar rats were
randomly divided into control, control+extract, diabetic and diabetic+extract
groups (n = 8). Diabetes was induced by intraperitoneal injection of 60
mg kg-1 of streptozotocin (STZ). Treatment with aqueous-ethanolic
extract of garlic (50 mg kg-1 day-1) was followed
for four weeks, then the left kidneys were excised and stereological studies
were carried out. The results revealed that blood sugar of the diabetic
rats was reduced significantly following treatment with garlic extract.
The final body weight of both diabetic and diabetic+extract groups didn`t
increase significantly, but in control and control+extract groups the
body weight increased significantly (p<0.001). A significant increase
in the kidney weight of the diabetic and diabetic+extract rats was found
(p<0.001) compared to the control ones. The volume of cortex, medulla
and total volume of kidney increased significantly in the diabetic and
diabetic+extract groups compared to the control ones. The total glomerular
volume increased significantly in diabetic rats compared to the other
groups (p<0.05). In conclusion the aqueous-ethanolic extract of garlic
influences the volume of total glomeruli but has no effect on the volume
of other kidney components. |

Moslems believe that Islam is the most perfect religion
and Qur'an the most perfect book that explains all human needs with the
best style and there isn't any defect in Islam and Qur'an. The Holy Qur'an
says; let man consider his food. Therefore we have decided to investigate
the nutritional roles of those foods stated in Qur'an and their biochemical
compounds. Almost all diet that is known as complete food today, mentioned
in Qur'an and their advantages explained occasionally. A number of verses
justified some differences that there were in divine religions about food
consumption and a few explained advantages and disadvantages of certain
nutrients and drinks such as wine. However according to our knowledge
about nutritional roles of food in Qur'an it could be concluded their
importance in health and prevention of disorders. Nevertheless, Islam
has stressed on health and ordered to save it as a deposit, so the foods
mentioned in Qur'an might have a lot of advantages, for example the best
oil that has protective role in atherosclerosis is olive oil that is contain
of a lot of ω9 fatty acids, researchers say today, olive is mentioned
several times in Holy Qur'an. It is more possible that many unknown advantages
in olive and other Qur'an's nutrients exist that will be revealed in future.
Therefore Moslem scientists have an important duty to reveal a part of
these unknowns. |
