GABA dramatically improves glucose tolerance in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats fed with high-fat diet.

TLDR
GA whose beneficial effect was comparable to that of insulin, also increased glucose infusion rate during an euglycemic clamp, and GABA could improve insulin resistance via rising GLUT4 and also decreasing the gluconeogenesis pathway and Glucagon receptor gene expression.

GABAergic regulation of pancreatic islet cells: Physiology and antidiabetic effects.

TL;DR: The intraislet GABAergic system is a target for the amelioration of diabetes therapy, including β‐cell survival and regeneration, and in xenotransplanted human islets, GABA therapy stimulates β‐ cell replication and insulin secretion.

Physiological Processes Modulated by the Chloride-Sensitive WNK-SPAK/OSR1 Kinase Signaling Pathway and the Cation-Coupled Chloride Cotransporters.

TL;DR: The understanding of WNK kinases as Cl– sensitive proteins has allowed us to better understand the mechanistic details of regulatory processes involved in diverse physiological phenomena that are reviewed here.
Journal ArticleDOI

Case Reports of Pre-clinical Replication Studies in Metabolism and Diabetes.

TL;DR: It is argued that a better way to describe and also tackle the lack of reproducibility of data from scientific publications is to use the term "lack of robustness," since it points toward potential solutions.

Quantification of aminobutyric acids and their clinical applications as biomarkers for osteoporosis.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed a quick, accurate, and sensitive screening method for aminobutyric acid isomers and enantiomers yielding correlations with bone mineral density (BMD) and osteoporotic fracture.

Combination of high-fat diet-fed and low-dose streptozotocin-treated rat: a model for type 2 diabetes and pharmacological screening.

TL;DR: 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.

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.

The Characterization of High-Fat Diet and Multiple Low-Dose Streptozotocin Induced Type 2 Diabetes Rat Model

TL;DR: Results indicated that high-fat diet combined with multiple low doses of STZ (30 mg/kg at weekly intervals for 2 weeks) proved to be a better way for developing a stable animal model of type 2 diabetes, and this new model may be suitable for pharmaceutical screening.

Insulin‐associated weight gain in diabetes – causes, effects and coping strategies

TL;DR: The novel acylated analogue, insulin detemir, appears to lack the usual propensity for causing weight gain and elucidation of the pharmacological mechanisms underlying this property might help clarify the mechanisms linking insulin with weight regulation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Modeling type 2 diabetes in rats using high fat diet and streptozotocin

TL;DR: The present review summarizes the current understanding of the metabolic profile and pathology involved in the different stages of the type 2 diabetes disease progression in humans and examines the suitability of the high‐fat diet‐fed, streptozotocin (HFD/STZ)‐treated rat model as a model of type 1 diabetes.
