Abstract
Background: β-sitosterol is a naturally occurring plant sterol, ubiquitously found in many plants. It has been shown to reduce hyperglycemia and hyperinsulinemia in experimental mice model. Despite the effect of β-sitosterol on oxidative stress in high-fat diet (HFD) fed type-2 diabetic rats is not known. Objectives: The study aimed to identify the remedial effects of β-sitosterol in HFD-induced oxidative stress in experimental rats. Methodology: Adult male albino rats of Wistar strain 150–180 days old with 180–200 g body weight were randomly divided into four groups of six rats each: Group I – normal rats; Group II – type 2 diabetic rats; Group III – type 2 diabetic rat treated with β-sitosterol (20 mg/kg b.wt/day), orally for 30 days; Group IV – type 2 diabetic rats treated with metformin (50 mg/kg, b.wt/day orally for 30 days). After the treatment period, animals were anesthetized and the liver from control and experimental animals was immediately dissected and used for the further study. Results: In type 2 diabetic animals, compared to control, the hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 ), hydroxyl radical (OH*), and lipid peroxidation (LPO) in the liver of diabetic rats were significantly raised. β-sitosterol notably brought down the rise in H2 O2 , OH*, and LPO. Conclusion: Our present finding indicates that the antidiabetic activity of β-sitosterol on oxidative stress in HFD fed type-2 diabetic rats.
