Metformin ameliorates insulitis in STZ-induced diabetic mice
BACKGROUND & AIMS Metformin is currently the most widely used first-line hypoglycemic agent for diabetes mellitus. Besides glucose-lowering action, there is increasingly interest in the potential anti-inflammatory action of this drug. In the present study, we investigated the actions of metformin on experimental insulitis using STZ-induced diabetic mice. METHODS Mice with acute diabetes induc...
متن کاملComparison of Natural Honey and Metformin on Pancreatic Histopathology in STZ- Induced Diabetic Rats
Background& Objective: The use of natural antioxidants is a new approach in controlling diabetes. In this study, the effect of natural honey (a powerful antioxidant) was compared with metformin (a prevalent drug used for diabetes) on histological changes of pancreas in diabetic rats.Materials& Methods: 30 male rats, weighting 180-220 gram were randomly divided into six groups including C: ...
متن کاملMetformin ameliorates learning and memory deficits in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats
Background and Objective: Diabetes mellitus (DM) in long-term is associated with learning and memory decline. Metformin is an anti-diabetic drug with antioxidant and memory-improving effects. Thus, this research study was conducted to assess the effect of metformin on learning and memory in diabetic rats. Materials and Methods: In the present study, male Wistar rats (n=32) were randomly assign...
متن کاملAsparagus racemosus Willd (Liliaceae) ameliorates early diabetic nephropathy in STZ induced diabetic rats.
Diabetic nephropathy is a major "microvascular" complication of diabetes, differs from other causes of chronic kidney diseases in its predictability, with well-defined functional progression from hyperfiltration to micro- to macroalbuminuria to renal failure. The present study was undertaken to investigate the effect of Asparagus racemosus Willd (Liliaceae) on streptozotocin-induced early diabe...
متن کاملResveratrol ameliorates myocardial fibrosis by inhibiting ROS/ERK/TGF-β/periostin pathway in STZ-induced diabetic mice
BACKGROUND Myocardial fibrosis is an essential hallmark of diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM) contributing to cardiac dysfunctions. Resveratrol, an antioxidant, exerts its anti-fibrotic effect via inhibition of oxidative stress, while the underlying molecular mechanism remains largely elusive. Periostin, a fibrogenesis matricellular protein, has been shown to be associated with oxidative stress. In ...
