TLDR
The present study represents that the combination of HFD-fed and low-dose STZ-treated rat serves as an alternative animal model for type 2 diabetes simulating the human syndrome that is also suitable for testing anti-diabetic agents for the treatment of type 1 diabetes.

Sodium phenylbutyrate ameliorates focal cerebral ischemic/reperfusion injury associated with comorbid type 2 diabetes by reducing endoplasmic reticulum stress and DNA fragmentation.

TL;DR: The neuroprotective effect of SPB owing to amelioration of ER stress and DNA fragmentation is demonstrated and it is suggested that targeting ER stress might offer a promising therapeutic approach and benefits against ischemic stroke associated with comorbid type 2 diabetes.

Glycyrrhizin ameliorates high fat diet-induced obesity in rats by activating NrF2 pathway

TL;DR: Glycyrrhizin ameliorates HFD‐induced obesity in rats that may be attributed to its ability to increase insulin receptor expression and to activate NrF2 and subsequent homooxygenase‐1 pathway.

Antidiabetic and antidyslipidemic nature of trigonelline, a major alkaloid of fenugreek seeds studied in high-fat-fed and low-dose streptozotocin-induced experimental diabetic rats

TL;DR: Results showed that trigonelline have potential anti-hyperglycemic and antidyslipidemic effects in HFD/STZ-induced type 2 diabetic rats.

Reversal of diabetes-induced behavioral and neurochemical deficits by cinnamaldehyde.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that treatment with cinnamaldehyde reverse neuroinflammation and changes in neurotransmitter levels, and consequently improves behavioral deficits in diabetic rats.

Antifibrotic cardioprotection of berberine via downregulating myocardial IGF-1 receptor-regulated MMP-2/MMP-9 expression in diabetic rats.

TL;DR: Long-term berberine treatment ameliorates cardiac fibrosis and dysfunction by downregulating IGF-1R expression in cardiac fibroblasts and subsequently reducing MMP-2/MMP-9, α-SMA, and collagen type I expression in diabetic hearts.

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.

Thiazolidinediones in the Treatment of Insulin Resistance and Type II Diabetes

TL;DR: Clinical studies in patients with type II diabetes, as well as other syndromes characterized by insulin resistance, have demonstrated that thiazolidinediones may represent a safe and effective new treatment.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.
