Also, kidney and small intestine tissues are damaged due to diabetes. The present study aimed to examine the protective effects of an extract prepared from Myrtus communis leaves on kidney and small intestine tissues against experimentally created postmenopausal diabetes. Methods: For this purpose, experimental rats were randomly divided into six groups (Control; ovariectomy:OVX, diabetic:D, ovariectomy + diabetic:OVX + D, ovariectomy + diabetic + oestrogen:OVX + D+E2, ovariectomy + diabetic + MC: OVX + D+MC) and kidney and small intestine tissues were taken after the experimental procedure. Results: Evaluations of biochemical parameters (glutathione and glutathione-related enzymes, antioxidant enzymes, etc.) showed that MC had a protective effect on kidney and small intestine tissues in diabetes and ovariectomy groups. Conclusion: It can be suggested that MC extract has a protective effect on small intestine and kidney tissues in postmenopausal diabetes and may be a good herbal source for this purpose. © 2024 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessDiabetesIn SilicoMyrtus CommunisOvariectomizeOxidative StressThe Protective Effects of Myrtus Communis Subsp. on Ovariectomized Diabetic Rats’ Renal and Intestinal Tissues: in Vivo and in Silico ApproachesArticleQ2Q21312210226WOS:00132073910000139324246
