Hesperidin enhances angiogenesis via modulating expression of growth and inflammatory factor in diabetic foot ulcer in rats
2018
One of the most devastating consequences of diabetes mellitus is a chronic condition, diabetic foot ulcer. Numerous investigations are being targeted to explore newer compounds for treatment of diabetic foot ulcer wounds in diabetic patients. Hesperidin (HSP), an isoflavone glycoside has been established to exhibit antidiabetic and antioxidant potential. In the current investigation, diabetes was induced in rats by administration by streptozotocin (STZ) intraperitoneally (50 mg/kg). Wound-healing capacity was estimated in hind paw of rats by artificially initiating wound injury on the paw dorsal surface. The injured animals were administered with incremental doses of HSP suspension orally (10, 20, 40, 60, and 80 mg/kg) and insulin subcutaneously (10 IU/kg). Parameters such as wound area were estimated every 2 days, and at the end of 20 days of study, biochemical estimations in serum and histopathological observations of the wound were made. HSP (60 and 80 mg/kg) revealed statistically significant (P < 0.0...
