Opis

This book presents a comprehensive investigation into the antioxidant and antidiabetic potential of Pimpinella tirupatiensis, an endemic medicinal plant, with a focus on its protective effects against streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic nephropathy in albino rats. It explores the role of oxidative stress in diabetic kidney damage and evaluates the therapeutic efficacy of the plant through in vitro antioxidant assays, biochemical analyses of both enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidants, and detailed histopathological examinations. By integrating traditional knowledge with modern scientific approaches, the book highlights the plant's promising nephroprotective and antioxidative properties, offering valuable insights for researchers and practitioners in the fields of phytomedicine, pharmacology, and diabetes management.
