hypoglycemic drug that exerts many other actions, including antioxidant properties. The aim of [PERSON] et al. 's [3] study was to evaluate the possible antioxidant and reno-protective effects of TQ and metformin in GM-induced nephrotoxicity in the same model (rats) at the same time. In addition, we aimed to further understand the effects underlying GM-induced nephrotoxicity. They concluded that both TQ and MF effectively alleviated the oxidative stress in GM-induced nephrotoxicity in rats, with TQ, but not MF, producing a complete reno-protective effect. Further studies evaluating different reno-protective mechanisms of TQ should be conducted. In traditional Yemeni medicine, various preparations of _Loranthus regularis_ (_L. regularis_), such as powder, decoctions, and infusions, are commonly used to treat diabetes, kidney stone formations, and inflammation. [PERSON] et al. [4], in their research, evaluated the antinephrotoxic effects of _L. regularis_ extract in experimentally induced diabetes in male Wistar rats. A single dose (60 mg/kg/day) of Streptozotocin (STZ) was used to induce type 1 diabetes. Animals were then treated for four weeks with _L. regularis_ extract (150 or 300 mg/kg/day) by oral gavage. Renal and blood samples were subsequently harvested. This study presents strong evidence of the beneficial therapeutic impact of _L. regularis_ against renal complications associated with diabetes. _L. regularis_ extract improved renal functions and alleviated cellular damage in diabetic rats. Additionally, the capacity of _L. regularis_ to reduce free radical production caused by hyperglycemia and to attenuate inflammation and enhance antioxidative enzyme activities may be due to underlying mechanisms. The article entitled \"Effect of Sucrose on Physicochemical Properties of High-Protein Meringues Obtained from Whey Protein Isolate\" by [PERSON] et al. [5] reports the possibility of obtaining WPI-based mergines with low sucrose contents (0-15%). They concluded that it is possible to obtain high-protein mergines from WPI at the smallest sugar concentration (5%), which is not used in the industry. A different effect of sugar was observed for liquid and solid forms. Knowledge about the product structure is important for controlling the essential parameters that determine the properties of the final product. A significant reduction in the sugar content enabled them to obtain a product with the characteristic features of traditional meringue and a lower caloric value. The obtained mergines could be an alternative to traditional protein shakes that are very labile without refrigeration. The research by [PERSON] et al. [6] showed the absorption of collagen peptides in the human body without being destroyed using a buccal delivery system. Collagen peptides permeate the buccal mucosa of swine, and significantly different concentrations of collagen are also analyzed after permeation according to molecular weight. Furthermore, the present study is the first clinical trial to have used a collagen peptide buccal delivery method. The collagen peptide buccal delivery film demonstrated significant improvements in skin hydration, elasticity, roughness, and wrinkle removal on cheeks, with no side effects after 2 weeks of use. To investigate these results, the production of peroxynitrite and interleukin-1\(\alpha\) was analyzed, and the effectiveness may have been due to the complete absorption of collagen peptides via the buccal delivery system and homeopathic effects. Currants (_Ribes_ L.) are shrubs of the order Saxifragaceae, belonging to the gooseberry family (Grossulariaceae). The study by [PERSON] et al. [7] concentrated on the basic chemical composition, the content of bioactive compounds, and antioxidant activity in currant leaves. The leaves of black, red, and white currant shrubs were collected in May, and in the beginning of June, July, and August, for two years, between 2018 and 2019. The proximate analysis, including dry matter, protein, fat, ash, and total carbohydrates, was determined.
