Evaluation of the therapeutic potential of Tamarind seeds (Aqueous extract) versus antidiabetic drugs on the histological structure of lingual papillae in diabetic rats

TL;DR: The findings of the present study indicate that aqueous extract of tamarind seeds possessed significant anti-diabetic and anti-inflammatory activity for improvement of diabetes associated oral complications that may prove its beneficial potentiality in treatment of type 2 diabetes.

Effects of propofol on LC3II and mTOR/p-mTOR expression during ischemia-reperfusion myocardium injury in rats with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

TL;DR: The present study demonstrated the protective effects of propofol in T2DM rats exhibiting MIRI, with an optimal protective effect at an infusion rate of 12 mg/kg/h, and led to significant reductions in LC3II and mTOR serum levels and the inhibition of autophagy in myocardial cells.

Ondansetron ameliorates depression associated with obesity in high-fat diet fed experimental mice: An investigation-based on the behavioral, biochemical, and molecular approach.

TL;DR: In the preliminary study, OND attenuated depression associated with obesity in mice fed with HFD using various assays procedures, at least in part by the modulation of serotonergic transmission.

Exenatide Inhibits the KCa3.1 Channels of Aortic Vascular Smooth Muscle in Diabetic Rats.

TL;DR: Exenatide could inhibit the expression of the KCa3.1 channel in VSMCs of diabetic rats, revealing an absence of smooth or integrated endothelium, increased smooth muscle cell proliferation in the media, smooth muscle hyperplasia, disorganized smooth muscle cells, and an increased number of collagen fibers, relative to the NC and ET groups.

PPAR-gamma: adipogenic regulator and thiazolidinedione receptor.

TL;DR: How advances in the understanding of nuclear receptor function, particularly the docking of cofactors in a ligand-dependent fashion, should lead to improved drugs that utilize the PPAR-gamma system for the treatment of insulin resistance is discussed.

A new rat model of type 2 diabetes: the fat-fed, streptozotocin-treated rat.

TL;DR: Fat-fed/STZ rats provide a novel animal model for type 2 diabetes, simulates the human syndrome, and is suitable for the testing of antidiabetic compounds.
