Tartary Buckwheat Extracts Regulate Insulin Sensitivity through IKKβ/IR/IRS-1/Akt Pathway under Inflammation Condition in Mice
نویسندگان
چکیده
Tartary buckwheat is rich in flavonoids which have positive effects on preventing chronic disease. But the mechanism of tartary buckwheat ameliorating chronic disease is still poorly understood. This study investigated the regulation of insulin action in skeletal muscle by tartary buckwheat extracts (TBE) under inflammation states in mice. In mice with insulin resistance, glucose intolerance and insulin intolerance was reversed and muscular and hepatic glycogen levels were significantly increased by oral administration of TBE. Furthermore, TBE inhibited inflammation-stimulated IKKβ activation and IRS-1 serine phosphorylation in skeletal muscle tissue, and effectively facilitated IRS-1 tyrosine and downstream molecule Akt phosphorylation, leading to an increase in insulin-mediated glucose uptake in skeletal muscle tissue. The results showed that TBE modulated positively the phosphorylation of IRS-1 function in inflammatory condition to regulation the insulin sensitivity.

Inflammation and oxidative stress play crucial roles in the etiology of type 2 diabetes mellitus. In this study, we examined the anti-diabetic effects of triterpenoid saponins extracted from Stauntonia chinensis on stimulating glucose uptake by insulin-resistant human HepG2 cells. The results showed that saponin 6 significantly increased glucose uptake and glucose catabolism. Saponin 6 also enh...

Protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) is a negative regulator of insulin signaling and a therapeutic target for type 2 diabetes. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the differences in insulin sensitivity between neonate and adult hepatocytes lacking PTP1B. Immortalized neonatal hepatocytes and primary neonatal and adult hepatocytes have been generated from PTP1B(-/-) and wild-type mice....
