The present study was conducted to test the effect of Origanum Majoranum Extract (OME) of leaves on alterations induced in a model of type 2 diabetic rats. Adult male Wistar rats were fed high fat diet for 3 weeks and injected a single dose of streptozotocin (35 mg/kg) intraperitoneally to induce type 2 diabetic rats. Diabetic rats were given aqueous extract of OME in a dose of 20 mg/kg orally ...

Previous studies have suggested that alteration in the expression of the insulin-regulatable glucose transporter of muscle (GLUT4 protein) may be an important determinant of insulin action. In the present studies, we have examined GLUT4 mRNA and protein concentrations in muscle after variations in the metabolic status of the intact animal (i.e., 7 d streptozotocin-induced diabetes, 7 d insulin-...

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of different statins on glucose uptake and to confirm its mechanism in primary cultured rat cardiomyocytes after administration of atorvastatin, pravastatin, and rosuvastatin. MATERIAL AND METHODS Primary cultured rat cardiomyocytes were randomly assigned to 5 groups: normal control group (OB), insulin group (S1), statin 1-μM (S2),...

Data from our previous study demonstrated that C10orf116 is an adipocyte lineage-specific nuclear factor, which regulates master adipogenesis transcription factors during early differentiation. However, the precise functional properties of this gene have yet to be identified and further investigation is required. In the present study, we report the effects of C10orf116 expression on cell prolif...

The article analyzes the main clinical and theoretical data on features of treatment atrial fibrillation (AF) in combination with diabetes mellitus (DM). Differentiated approaches to correction these cardiac arrhythmias this category patients are considered, among which methods first choice hypoglycemic therapy catheter ablation. Currently, addition metformin, is basis for most type 2 diabetes,...

Glucose and fatty acid metabolism was assessed in isolated working hearts from control C57BL/KsJ-m+/+db mice and transgenic mice overexpressing the human GLUT-4 glucose transporter (db/+-hGLUT-4). Heart rate, coronary flow, cardiac output, and cardiac power did not differ between control hearts and hearts overexpressing GLUT-4. Hearts overexpressing GLUT-4 had significantly higher rates of gluc...

This investigation examined the effects of short-term exercise training on insulin-stimulated GLUT-4 glucose transporter translocation and glucose transport activity in rat adipose cells. Male Wistar rats were randomly assigned to a sedentary (Sed) or swim training group (Sw, 4 days; final 3 days: 2 x 3 h/day). Adipose cell size decreased significantly but minimally (approximately 20%), whereas...

Starvation (48 h) decreased the concentration of mRNA of the insulin-responsive glucose transporter isoform (GLUT 4) in interscapular brown adipose tissue (IBAT) (56%) and tibialis anterior (10%). Despite dramatic [7-fold (tibialis anterior) and 40-fold (IBAT)] increases in glucose utilization after 2 and 4 h of chow re-feeding, no significant changes in GLUT 4 mRNA concentration were observed ...

This study was to investigate the anti-diabetic effects and molecular mechanisms of Tang-Kang-Fu-San (TKFS), a traditional Tibetan medicine, in treating type 2 diabetes mellitus of spontaneous diabetic db/db mice. Firstly HPLC fingerprint analysis was performed to gain the features of the chemical compositions of TKFS. Next different doses of TKFS (0.5 g/kg, 1.0 g/kg, and 2.0 g/kg) were adminis...

We describe an implemented model of glucose absorption in the enterocyte, as previously published by Afshar et al. (2019), The used mechanistic descriptions all responsible transporters and was built CellML framework. It validated against experimental data a modular structure which allows each individual transporter to be edited independently from other transport protein models. composite then ...
