Both Cur- and CEC-treated mice suppressed the body weight loss. However, the glucose level increased when compared to non-diabetes control group after injected by STZ and it was characterized as a diabetes condition Fig.
High blood glucose hyperglycemia and low insulin level in blood are also associated with type-1 diabetes condition. Although, the fasting blood glucose remains in diabetes condition was significantly decreased after treated with curcumin and chitosan-encapsulated curcumin.
The low insulin level showed in DM group mice Fig. The insulin level after treated with curcumin and chitosan-encapsulated curcumin was increased.
The previous study reported that oral administration of curcumin reversed the hypoinsulinemia and glucose intolerance as well as enhanced the regenerate functional pancreatic islets in STZ-induced Swiss diabetic mice Additionally, the insulin level of the CEC group was higher than the curcumin-treated group.
The untreated-diabetes mice showed a high total cholesterol level Fig. After treated with curcumin and chitosan-encapsulated curcumin successfully decreased the total cholesterol TC level. The average level of TC in the CEC group was lower than the curcumin group. Whereas, no effect on triglycerides and very low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol level Table 1.
The previous study reported that high insulin level was not only effected to blood glucose level but also associated with cholesterol regulation including its synthesis and absorption According to our results, the chitosan polymer successfully enhanced the clinical utilities of curcumin in chitosan-encapsulated curcumin form.
Additionally, the previous study also reported that nanocurcumin decreased HbA1c and LDL in type-2 diabetes Dysfunction and failure organs, such as heart, kidney, nerves, and blood vessel are associated with chronic hyperglycemia. Both of type-1 and type-2 diabetes were associated with cardiovascular diseases and caused disability and death among the patients 6 , The hemodynamic diagnosis was used the evaluate the heart performance after treatments.
The hemodynamic data showed that the blood pressure both systolic SBP and diastolic DBP , there is no change for all groups after treatment Table 2. After treated with both curcumin and CEC, the cell size was successfully improved. Additionally, the myocardial area of left ventricle was also improved after treated with both curcumin and CEC.
The CEC-treated group showed a low myocardial area when compared than the curcumin-treated group. The previous study reported that cardiomyopathy and heart failure are associated with diabetes condition. A cluster of features including decreased diastolic compliance, myocyte hypertrophy, and interstitial fibrosis are associated with cardiomyopathy in diabetes The fibrosis area decreased after treated with both curcumin or chitosan-encapsulated curcumin.
Whereas, the fibrosis area of CEC-treated group lower than Cur-treated group. Fibrosis is a characteristic of chronic kidney disease Diabetes was associated with renal fibrosis and is a major health problem Additionally, we also determined the body urea nitrogen BUN.
The result showed that there was no statistical difference between each group. However, BUN level decreased after treated with curcumin and CEC.
The previous study reported that an increased risk of incident diabetes is associated with high BUN and is associated with failure of kidney function In this study, we have demonstrated that curcumin and CEC showed ameliorative effect on heart and kidney in STZ-induced diabetic mice.
Whereas, CEC possessed more effectively ameliorative effects on myocardial area of left ventricle and fibrosis area of cortex and medulla in kidney. Type-1 diabetes is characterized by failure of insulin secretion by pancreatic β-cell and resulting in insulin deficiency 3.
Type-1 diabetes in mice model can be induced by intraperitoneal injection of a high dose of streptozotocin 36 , Hyperglycemia condition can exert feedback on molecular regulation by the generation of advanced glycation end products AGEs.
Collagen molecules were cross-linked with glycosylated protein, so that collagen cannot be degraded and as resulting in increases fibrosis The increase of oxidative stress is also associated with cardiomyopathy and leading to DNA damage and increase in AGEs receptor Therefore, using an antioxidant drug have been shown the beneficial effects of diabetes patient with cardiovascular diseases Curcumin has been reported to possess strong antioxidant activity and anti-inflammation, including in the case of type-1 diabetes 41 , Additionally, curcumin also has been demonstrated its ameliorative effects on the renal injury and diabetes-associated liver disorders in rodent model 43 , In vitro study, curcumin have been reported for its ameliorative effects on leukocytes infiltration by inhibiting intracellular adhesion molecule-1 expression Curcumin also inhibited pancreatic leukocytes infiltration in diabetic mice study by reducing proinflammatory cytokines and nuclear factor NF -κB activation However, the limited application of curcumin such as poor aqueous solubility and low bioavailability have been reported.
The previous study reported that nanocurcumin has been showed promising therapeutic enhancement more than curcumin alone Encapsulation by natural polymers has been used to enhance the bioavailability of poor solubility compounds, such as using chitosan. Chitosan polymer has been reported as an encapsulation agent by its favorable properties, such as biocompatible, biodegradable, and high drugs loading efficiency 19 , We used ethyl-acetate and ethanol for the chitosan solvent during the encapsulation process.
According to the previous study, ethyl acetate and ethanol showed less toxicity. Ethyl acetate showed low toxicity in mice model with the lethal dose 50 LD 50 of orally administrated was higher than 2. Additionally, we also used freeze-drying process to obtain the CEC powder and the previous study reported that very less ethanol residue after freeze-drying process According to these conditions, we hypothesized that chitosan solvents used in the encapsulation process are safe for oral administration, especially in this model.
Previous study reported that the curcumin ameliorated diabetes models by attenuates tumor necrosis factor TNF -α and enhanced enzymatic antioxidant activity. This study also reported that curcumin administration protected pancreatic islet damage in STZ-induced diabetic mice Curcumin also upregulated nuclear factor erythroidrelated factor-2 Nrf-2 and reduced oxidative stress levels in skeletal muscle of high-fat diet-induced oxidative stress and glucose intolerance Additionally, curcumin reduced segmental sclerosis of glomerular and tubular structure as well as macrophages infiltration in kidneys of diabetic rats by inhibiting nuclear factor-kappa B NF- 𝜅 B activation N-acetyl-β-d-glucosaminidase, β-d-glucuronidase in spleen, liver, and heart of diabetic rats Our previous study demonstrated that curcumin was encapsulated by chitosan and silica SCNP showed the small particle size This study also showed the effectively anti-oxidative activity on SCNP when compared to curcumin alone Additionally, the previous studies also reported that curcumin encapsulated in chitosan shown the nano size and high encapsulation efficiency in their forms as well as successfully carried the curcumin in nanoparticle matrix 21 , 22 , 23 , And also, chitosan-encapsulated curcumin increased solubility and bioavailability when compared to curcumin alone 24 , Based on our results, we found that both curcumin and chitosan-encapsulated curcumin suppressed the heart and kidney damage in type-1 diabetes mice model.
Whereas, the chitosan-encapsulated curcumin more effectively to ameliorate the damages. Overall, type-1 diabetes successfully induced by intraperitoneal injection of a high dose of streptozotocin.
Both curcumin and chitosan-encapsulated curcumin successfully reduced the blood glucose and total cholesterol level as well as ameliorated the insulin level. Whereas, chitosan-encapsulated curcumin possessed more effective effects when compared to the curcumin-treated group, especially in the case of suppressed blood glucose level and increased the insulin level.
Chitosan-encapsulated curcumin also more effective ameliorated the myocardial area in the left ventricle and fibrosis area in the kidney. Chitosan successfully enhanced the clinical application of curcumin to suppress the heart and kidney damages based on their morphological evaluations when compared to treated by curcumin alone in type-1 diabetes mice was induced by streptozotocin.

Chitosan is said to work by turning into a gel in the stomach. Some claim that when that gel moves from the stomach to the intestines, it binds to fat and cholesterol 2. The idea is that chitosan may support weight loss and lower cholesterol by eliminating fat and cholesterol from the body instead of allowing the body to absorb them 2.
Otherwise, there would be nothing in the gut for it to bind to. Clinical trials in the early s found that chitosan did not significantly increase fat excretion in stool.
Some marketing claims state that chitosan supplements prevent the body from actually absorbing fat by trapping it in stool. However, there is no scientific evidence that chitosan increases fat loss.
Chitosan supplementation may benefit weight loss efforts and cholesterol reduction, although many of the studies supporting those claims are considered low quality. In a review, researchers analyzed data from 14 studies including a total of 1, participants with overweight or obesity.
They compared weight loss outcomes in people taking chitosan supplements with those of people taking a placebo 2. Results showed that chitosan supplementation slightly reduced body weight and body mass index BMI when paired with a calorie-restricted diet and physical activity 2.
These results support the findings of a similar, older review, which found that chitosan supplements may be more effective than a placebo as part of a short-term treatment plan for overweight and obesity 2 , 8.
Both reviews noted improvements in cholesterol levels and blood pressure 2 , 8. However, the researchers reported that many studies on chitosan supplements were of poor quality and that there was significant variability among results.
A small clinical trial found that supplementing with 3 grams of chitosan per day may be more effective for weight loss when paired with 2 grams of L-ascorbic acid — a type of vitamin C 9.
There is not consistent scientific evidence supporting chitosan use for weight loss. Chitosan may have a greater impact on cholesterol levels than on weight loss. A review that pooled data on cholesterol levels from more than 1, people concluded that supplementing with chitosan lowered both total cholesterol and LDL bad cholesterol Although HDL good cholesterol was unaffected, chitosan supplementation may still be an effective part of a cholesterol management plan However, there are other natural cholesterol reducers that have more evidence supporting their effectiveness than chitosan.
Studies show that chitosan may be somewhat effective at lowering cholesterol levels. However, more research is needed, and many other natural cholesterol reducers are backed by more evidence.
Side effects of chitosan supplements may include constipation , nausea, and an upset stomach 11 , Chitosan may also interfere with the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins such as vitamins A, D, E, and K, as well as calcium and magnesium.
Therefore, chitosan supplement labels may encourage you not to take chitosan supplements at the same time as any other supplements. Chitosan may have a negative interaction with medications like warfarin Avoid chitosan supplements if you have an allergy to shellfish, and talk with a healthcare professional about potential medication interactions before supplementing.
There is currently no recommended maximum amount established in the United States 2. While studies have shown chitosan supplementation to be generally safe in adults, the doses studied range widely, from 0.
But staying below that 3-gram maximum set by European safety authorities may be a good reference 2. Check the supplement label to see how much chitosan is in one serving remember that one serving may include multiple capsules and how many servings are recommended per day.
Add everything up to see the total daily dose. When looking for a supplement, always verify that it has been third-party tested. Third-party testing ensures that the supplement meets certain purity and potency standards. Look for a seal on the packaging from an organization such as NSF International , USP , or ConsumerLab.
These seals are typically good indicators of supplement quality. Talk with a healthcare professional before taking a chitosan supplement. If weight loss is your goal, they may be able to provide more personalized recommendations that are better suited for that purpose. Chitosan is a widely available supplement promoted for weight loss.
While some research indicates that it may be somewhat effective in conjunction with a calorie-restricted diet and exercise, more research is needed 2 , 8. Always proceed with caution when starting a new supplement regimen, and ensure that the benefits outweigh the potential risks.
Where chitosan is concerned, its benefits for weight loss are inconclusive. Try this today: Sustainable weight loss is best achieved through a whole-food diet , physical activity, and — importantly — social support.

The hearf of a conductive polymer or grafting of conductive nanoparticles in the Chitoswn polymer can significantly improve electrical conductivity of the heatt 12hrart Recently, gold nanoparticles incorporated in the scaffolds were reported to heaet electrical signal conduction in cardiomyocytes and neurons 12 However, nanoparticles after incorporation into the scaffolds tend to aggregate into isolated microstructures, which might cause stress as well as damage to the surrounding tissue.
Therefore, Chitosah this study, we engineered a novel conductive scaffold hexlth using chitosan as a base heatt, and incorporating it Structured meal timetable a conductive polymer, which was synthesized by anchoring hfart nanoparticles AuNPs to graphene oxide GO sheets.
Nealth hypothesized Chitosa the addition of AuNPs into GO sheets, before incorporating it to the chitosan, will not only prevent aggregation of AuNPs in the chitosan microstructures, heaet it Efficient fat burning routines facilitate homogenous and even Chitosan for heart health of AuNPs in the conductive polymer scaffold.
Previous studies reported that GO Chitoxan cell adhesion, proliferation, adsorption of ECM proteins and possess enhanced mechanical and electrical properties 1617 Therefore in addition to acting as a support material for AuNPs, graphene oxide sheets will also promote native cell growth and proliferation.
Further, due to its high mechanical strength 19 and electrical properties 20GO will provide enhanced mechanical strength to the chitosan scaffold and reduced electrical impedance. We characterized this novel conductive polymer scaffold, and found that it is not toxic to cell growth or metabolism, can improve cardiac contractility ex-vivo as well as in vivoand lead to a significant improvement in cardiac function when implanted into rat model of myocardial infarction.
The surface geometry of GO sheets before and after gold nanoparticle addition was assessed by transmission electron microscopy TEM. Our data indicate the presence of ex-foliated layers of graphene oxide Fig. The smooth and planar sheets clearly demonstrate the presence of high surface area with necessary two dimensional 2D structure for gold nanoparticles packing.
The gold nanoparticles AuNPs loaded onto GO sheets in TEM images were anchored into the graphene oxide much evenly Fig. Energy dispersive spectra EDS of the biomaterial were recorded for the confirmation of elemental composition of the GO-AuNPs composite.

Exfoliation of graphene oxide sheets from graphite generally results in generation of numerous functional moieties such as carboxylic and carbonyl groups present in the structure of graphene oxide. The fourier transformed infrared FT-IR spectra of graphite and graphene oxide as presented in Fig.
The attachment of AuNPs onto the highly flat GO sheets surface may have been mediated via electrostatic attraction of Au ions to oxygen functionalities on the GO surface.
The high surface area of GO sheets make uniform loading of AuNPs. The structural changes in GO after gold nanoparticles loading were assessed by Raman spectroscopic measurements Fig. Therefore, no structural distortion was detected in GO after gold nanoparticles addition 21 Chitosan has been used extensively as a biomaterial for tissue engineering over the past two decades because of its biodegradable nature and porous structure 23 The porosity of base biomaterial to be employed for tissue engineering applications plays a very important role The porous structure of the scaffold facilitates water or fluid adsorption from the surrounding tissue which is important for conductive nature of the material To optimize the concentration of GO-Au nanosheets to be added to chitosan to retain ideal porous nature of the chitosan scaffold, we systematically tested different concentrations of GO-Au 0.
The scaffolds were fabricated by freeze drying method in order to achieve a porous architecture. We assessed the porosity, pore-interconnectivity and pore dimensions of the scaffold by scanning electron microscopic SEM analysis. However, as demonstrated in our SEM pictures Fig.
The addition of GO-Au at these concentrations 0. Physico-chemical characterization of the biocomposite scaffolds: A — D Scanning electron microscopy SEM images of the biocomposite scaffolds. E Pore diameter of chitosan scaffolds at different concentrations of GO-Au 0.
F FT-IR spectrum analysis of chitosan and scaffolds at different concentrations of GO-Au 0. To study the interaction between chitosan and GO-Au, we performed FTIR spectra for GO-Au and Chitosan-GO-Au composite scaffolds having different concentrations 0.
Therefore, our data depict that GO-Au sheets were attached to chitosan matrix via amide linkage of GO carboxylic acid and amine group of chitosan forming amide bond between GO and chitosan.
The presence of oxygen-containing groups on GO is observed in the spectra. Notably, most of the absorbance peaks in chitosan group and CS-GO-Au are overlapped.
One of the major advantages of biomaterials based scaffolds is that they degrade in vivowhich is mediated by native hydrolytic enzymes in the body However, on the other hand, the retention of implanted material inside the body for desired amount of time is also essential to mediate its biological effects.
Therefore, post-implantation degradation of the material should take place in a controlled manner. Biodegradation of porous scaffolds is dependent on several factors such as pore size, surface area, hydrophilicity and addition of co-polymers Chitosan is a polymer, bearing amino groups and breakable glycosidic bonds.
It is mainly targeted by lysozyme, which hydrolyses glycosidic linkages in the polymer. Hence, in the current study, to evaluate the effect of GO-Au addition on the degradation rate of chitosan-GO-Au scaffold, the chitosan scaffolds containing different percentage of GO-Au were incubated with lysozyme containing medium for a period of 5 weeks and the degradation rate was calculated by measuring the final weight of the material.
The addition of GO-Au slowed down the degradation of the biomaterial. The decreased degradation rate of scaffolds with an increase in GO-Au content is probably due to the electrostatic interactions at hydrogen bonds among GO-Au nanosheets and CS matrix which strengthens the CS scaffold and enhances its stability Furthermore, GO-Au sheets hinder the penetration of hydrolytic enzymes inside the polymer matrix that slows down the degradation Replenishment of fresh solution was carried out after every three days.
Addition of GO-Au decreased the degradation rate of chitosan. C The electrical conductivity of the scaffold was measured by Four Probe method. Addition of GO at a concentration of 0.
However, incorporation of GO-Au nanosheets at 0. Chitosan is a hydrophilic polymer with the ability to hydrate itself via protonation of amino groups Therefore, after in vivo implantation, the absorption of water or tissue fluids from the surrounding microenvironment results in swelling of the chitosan scaffold.
However, the swollen scaffold would lead to wall stress to the surrounding tissue. Also, the swelling of the biomaterial exposes it to hydrolytic enzymes mediated degradation. Therefore, to achieve desired persistence of the biomaterial inside the body, a balance between swelling ability and degradation rate is very important.
We evaluated the swelling properties of the polymer scaffold by immersing it in phosphate buffer saline PBS. This behavior is attributed to the lesser hydrophilicity of GO compared to chitosan The pyranose rings in GO offer less space for such molecular transfer and water penetration 34 Hence, increase in GO-Au content in our studies lead to decreased swelling ability of the scaffold.
Therefore, addition of GO-Au at lower concentrations 0. Also at these concentrations, with an increase in GO-Au content, the swelling percentage of the scaffold decreased. However, the addition of GO-Au at higher concentrations 0. Therefore, to achieve controlled swelling ability and degradation rate of the polymeric scaffold, for rest of the in vitro experiments and in vivo studies, we used 0.
The electrical conductivity of naïve chitosan, chitosan incorporated with 0. Our data revealed that there was an increasing trend in the conductivity of scaffold with the inclusion of GO at a concentration of 0. However, addition of 0. The conductive polymers are a special class of biomaterials which facilitate the direct delivery of electrical, electrochemical and electromechanical stimulus to cells.
The conductive polymers are either used as independent base polymers or doped inside other non-conductive polymers to impart electrical conductivity.
The conductivity of these materials arise from their unique structure of conjugated backbone alternated by single and double bonds in between which allows the movement of electrons with in the polymeric chains
