Hypolipidemic and Antioxidant Effects of <i>Guishe</i> Extract from <i>Agave lechuguilla,</i> a Mexican Plant with Biotechnological Potential, on Streptozotocin-Induced Diabetic Male Rats
In the present study, we used a by-product from <i>Agave lechuguilla</i> (<i>guishe</i>) to test its antidiabetic effect, hypolipidemic activity, and capacity to mitigate the oxidative stress in kidney mitochondria from streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. Orally, a crude aq...
