257 18675532 The diabetic rats orally treated with resveratrol (5 mg kg(-)(1)b.w d(-)(1)) for 30 days resulted in significant (p<0.05) decrease in the levels of blood glucose, glycosylated hemoglobin, blood urea, serum uric acid, serum creatinine and diminished activities of pathophysiological enzymes such as aspartate transaminase (AST), alanine transaminase (ALT) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP).
258 18675532 The antihyperglycemic nature of resveratrol is also evidenced from the improvement in the levels of plasma insulin and hemoglobin.

266 19582775 Role of Smad3, acting independently of transforming growth factor-beta, in the early induction of Wnt-beta-catenin signaling by parathyroid hormone in mouse osteoblastic cells.
267 19582775 We showed previously that PTH interacts with the canonical Wnt-beta-catenin signaling pathway via the transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta signaling molecule, Smad3, to modulate osteoblast differentiation and apoptosis.
268 19582775 Here, we examined which actions of Smad3 are TGF-beta-independent in stimulating the osteoblast phenotype and PTH-induced Wnt-beta-catenin signaling.
269 19582775 For this, the TGF-beta receptor type 1 [activin receptor-like kinase (ALK5)] inhibitor (SB431542), and a Smad3 mutant in which the site normally phosphorylated by ALK5 is mutated from SSVS to AAVA, was used.
270 19582775 PTH induced total beta-catenin and reduced phosphorylated beta-catenin levels at 1, 6, and 24 h in mouse osteoblastic MC3T3-E1 cells.
271 19582775 Transient transfection of Smad3AAVA inhibited the PTH induction of total beta-catenin and reduction of phosphorylated beta-catenin levels at 6 and 24 h, but not at 1 h, indicating that the early effects occur independently of TGF-beta receptor signaling.
272 19582775 On the other hand, MC3T3-E1 cell clones in which Smad3AAVA was stably expressed demonstrated elevated beta-catenin levels, although alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity and mineralization were unaltered.
273 19582775 In contrast, MC3T3-E1 cell clones in which wild-type Smad3 was stably expressed exhibited increased ALP activity and mineralization that were decreased by the ALK5 inhibitor, SB431542, although the beta-catenin levels induced in these cells were not modulated.
274 19582775 In conclusion, the present study indicates that PTH induces osteoblast beta-catenin levels via Smad3 independently of, and dependently on, TGF-beta in the early and later induction phases, respectively.

284 19628413 With 11 mmol/L glucose, cellular proliferation, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, the number of nodules formed, and calcium deposition in mineralized nodules were increased significantly; intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) and apoptosis were slightly reduced, although these reductions were not statistically significant.
285 19628413 Moreover, we assessed the gene expression levels of Runx2, IGF-1, and IGF-1R.
286 19628413 Eleven micromole per liter glucose stimulated Runx2 and IGF-1 expression; 44 mmol/L glucose inhibited Runx2, IGF-1, and IGF-1R expression.
287 19628413 Metformin stimulated the expression of Runx2 and IGF-1 in three glucose groups, but it did not affect IGF-1R.
288 19628413 Metformin not only significantly decreased intracellular ROS and apoptosis, but also had a direct osteogenic effect on osteoblasts at all glucose concentrations, which could be partially mediated via promotion of Runx2 and IGF-1 expression.
289 19915165 High glucose potentiates collagen synthesis and bone morphogenetic protein-2-induced early osteoblast gene expression in rat spinal ligament cells.
290 19915165 Using these cells, high glucose stimulated the synthesis of type I collagen and significantly potentiated expression of early osteoblast genes (Runx2; alkaline phosphatase, ALP; and osteopontin, OP) induced by bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2).
291 19915165 Consistent with these observations, an inhibitor of p38 augmented the potentiation of high glucose on BMP-2-induced early osteogenic gene expression, whereas the PKC inhibitor repressed the effect of high glucose on type I collagen synthesis of the cells.
292 19915165 In conclusion, high glucose, via production of reactive oxygen species, subsequent activation of PKC, and inhibition of p38, enhances type I collagen synthesis and expression of early osteogenesis genes induced by BMP-2 in rat spinal ligament cells.

519 23754846 We demonstrated using relative gene expression and specific protein assays that elastin degradation products in the presence of high glucose cause the increase in expression of the specific elastin-laminin receptor-1 (ELR-1) and activin receptor-like kinase-5 (ALK-5) present on the surface of the vascular cells, in turn leading to overexpression of typical osteogenic markers like ALP, OCN and RUNX2.
520 23754846 In conclusion, our results indicate that glucose plays an important role in amplifying the osteogenesis induced by elastin peptides and TGF-β1, possibly by activating the ELR-1 and ALK-5 signalling pathways.
521 23806420 The dose 80 mg/kg b.w, significantly reduced the levels of blood glucose and glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and increased plasma insulin level.
522 23806420 The altered activities of the key enzymes of carbohydrate metabolism such as glucokinase, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, glucose-6-phosphatase, fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase and hepatic enzymes (aspartate transaminase (AST), alanine transaminase (ALT) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP)) in the liver tissues of diabetic rats were significantly reverted to near normal levels by the administration of fraxetin.
523 23886079 Furthermore, eugenol similar to acarbose reduced serum glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), lipase and ACE levels.
524 23886079 Overall, EG significantly reverted back to near normal the values of the biochemical biomarkers such as transaminases (AST&ALT), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), creatine phosphokinase (CPK) and gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT) activities, total-bilirubin, creatinine, urea and uric acid rates.
525 23933252 An ER stress inducer, thapsigargin (TG), induced osteoblastic differentiation of ST2 cells by increasing the levels of Osterix, type 1 collagen (Col1), alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and osteocalcin (OCN) mRNA.
526 23933252 AGE2 or AGE3 suppressed the levels of ER stress sensors such as IRE1α, ATF6 and OASIS, while they increased the levels of PERK and its downstream molecules, ATF4.
