Background: The endocrine problem diabetes mellitus is the most prevalent condition. Over time, the heart and blood arteries become among the tissues and organs that are negatively impacted by this medical disease. Beets' anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-tumor, high pressure-lowering, neuroprotective, and immune-modulating advantages are equivalent to those of pharmaceuticals.
Aim of the work: Analyzing the effects of betanin on experimentally generated diabetes and related Histopathological Alteration in Adult Albino Rats.
Material and Methods: Rattus norvegicus albino adult males were separated into four equal groups, as follows: Group I functioned as the control group, Group II was the diabetic group, Group III was the normal plus betanin, and Group IV was the diabetic group that had been given betanin therapy. The samples of blood have been collected at the completion of the study's period to be investigated blood glucose levels, glycated haemoglobin, serum insulin, alanine amino transferase (ALT), aspartate amino transferase (AST), lipid profiles, malondialdehyde (MDA), tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNFα), catalase, nuclear factor Kapp, lactate dehydrogenase, interleukin 1 and interleukin 6. Additionally, liver and pancreas samples were taken for a histopathology investigation.
Results: The drug streptozotocin (STZ) substantially increased levels of blood sugar, glycated haemoglobin, cholesterol, alanine amino transferase, aspartate amino transferase, malondialdehyde, TNF, lactate dehydrogenase, nuclear factor kappa, IL-1, and IL-6 while substantially reducing levels of serum insulin and catalase. All levels substantially improved after receiving betanin treatment.
Conclusion: Due to its antioxidant properties, betanin has a preventive impact on diabetic rats.
