Abstract
In this work, we synthesized and reported gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) with Eryngium thyrsoideum Boiss plant extract for first time. The plant extract has important effect as reducing and stabilizing agent for preparation of Au nanoparticles. The synthesized gold nanoparticles were characterized with FT-IR, UV-vis, XRD, SEM, and TEM analyses. All analyses confirmed successful synthesis of gold nanoparticles with high purity. The antidiabetic activity of synthesized Au NPs was investigated on type 2 diabetic rats by studying their influences on serum biochemical parameters and inflammatory markers. Obtained results revealed that hepatic enzymes, TNF-α, and interleukin-6 of diabetic rats receiving gold nanoparticles decreased in compare with healthy control rats. As inflammatory markers are main reasons for hyperglycemic-induced insulin resistance in diabetes, Au NPs have a possible option for management of the diabetes-related complication via their potent anti-inflammatory and hypoglycemic effects.
