and mixture of them for 30 days. At the end of the study, glucose, aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase 
(ALT)  enzymes,  albumin,  total  protein  and  bilirubin  have  been  measured  in  diabetic  rats.  In  addition,  liver  lipid  peroxide 
production malondialdehyde (MDA) and liver superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GP
X
) activities were 
also  determined.  The  cinnamaldehyde,  hesperidin,  and  their  mixture  significantly  decrease  (P  <  0.001)  blood  glucose  level, 
AST, ALT, Bilirubin, and liver peroxide production MDA in treated groups but on the other hand they significantly increase (P 
< 0.001) total protein, serum albumin levels, liver SOD, and liver GPx activities in treated groups comparing to diabetic con trol 
groups. Histopathological investigation of liver of diabetic rats represented the presence of sever changes, meanwhile treatment 
overcome this changes and the majority of the cells tend to be normal. This improvement in histology of liver tissue confirms
biochemical tests and may explain the hepatoprotective effect of  cinnamaldehyde, hesperidin or their mixture on liver tissue in 
induced type I diabetic rats</Abstract><Email>ahmed.aboumesalam@57357.com</Email><articletype>Research</articletype><volume>7</volume><issue>2</issue><year>2016</year><keyword>Diabetes,Streptozotocin,Cinnamaldehyde,Hesperidin,Glutathione  peroxidase,Superoxide  dismutase,Lipid  peroxidation</keyword><AUTHORS>Zahran FM,Al-Hussaini AS, Abou-Mesalam AI, Abou-Mesalam AI</AUTHORS><afflication>Chemistry Department, Faculty of Science, Zagazig University, Egypt,Chemistry Department, Faculty of Science, Port Said University, Egypt,Nuclear Medicine Department, Childrenâ€™s Cancer Hospital â€“ Egypt (CCHE - 57357), Cairo, Egypt,Nuclear Medicine Department, Childrenâ€™s Cancer Hospital â€“ Egypt (CCHE - 57357), Cairo, Egypt</afflication></Article></Articles>
