Notes: Chebulic acid is a phenol that has been found in T. chebular and has diverse biological activities.{60057,60058,60059} It reduces production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) induced by glyceraldehyde-related advanced glycation end products (glycer-AGEs) when used at a concentration of 100 µg/ml.{60057} Chebulic acid reduces glycer-AGE-induced adhesion of HUVECs to THP-1 monocytes. It induces Nrf2 nuclear translocation and glutathione (GSH) synthesis and inhibits glycer-AGE-induced collagen accumulation, a marker of fibrosis, in LX-2 hepatic stellate cells.{60058} In vivo, chebulic acid (25 and 50 mg/kg) increases serum insulin levels and reduces blood urea nitrogen levels, proteinuria, albuminuria, and serum glucose levels in a diabetic rat model of ischemia-reperfusion-induced nephropathy.{60059}
