dc.description.abstract | Turnera diffusa (damiana) grows wild in Baja California Sur (BCS), Mexico. It is traditionally used for its aphrodisiac effects and for diabetes treatment. Two varieties (var.) have been identified: diffusa and aphro-disiaca. To evaluate the effects of water-ethanol extracts from both varieties, measurements on blood glucose, body weight, biochemical parameters, and cell blood counts were performed in a diabetic rat model. Oxidative stress was also evaluated when var. diffusa was administered. No significant reductions in blood glucose levels, in biochemical parameters, or in cell blood counts with any variety of damiana were observed; however, it helped diabetic animals to keep their body weight. Damiana var. diffusa did not mo-dify the mitochondrial nitric oxide levels and superoxide dismutase activity; however, thiobarbituric acid reactive species diminished. In conclusion, damiana can be utilized reliably in the management of diabetes because of its antioxidant potential; it promoted body weight loss in healthy animals and helped to preserve it in diabetes | es_MX |
dc.description.abstract | Turnera diffusa (damiana) crece de manera silvestre en Baja California Sur (BCS), México. Tradicional-mente se usa por sus efectos afrodisiacos y para tratar la diabetes. Dos variedades (var.) han sido identi-ficadas: diffusa y afrodisíaca. Para evaluar los efectos de extractos acuoso-etanólicos de ambas variedades, se midieron los niveles de glucosa en la sangre, el peso corporal, los parámetros bioquímicos y el recuento de células sanguíneas en un modelo de diabetes. Adicionalmente, el estrés oxidativo se evalúo cuando la var. diffusa fue administrada. No se observaron cambios en los niveles de glucosa en sangre, ni en los parámetros bioquímicos o en el recuento de las células sanguíneas. En mitocondrias, la var. diffusa no modifica los niveles de óxido nítrico, ni la actividad de la superóxido dismutasa, sin embargo, las especies reactivas al ácido tiobarbitúrico disminuyen. En conclusión, damiana puede ser utilizada en el manejo de la diabetes debido a su potencial antioxidante; promueve la pérdida de peso en animales sanos y ayuda a mantenerlo en los diabéticos | - |
