"MitoTea": Geranium robertianum L. decoctions decrease blood glucose levels and improve liver mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation in diabetic Goto-Kakizaki rats.
Several chemical compounds found in plant products have proven to possess beneficial properties, being currently pointed out due to their pharmacological potential in type 2 diabetes mellitus complications. In this context, we studied the effect of Geranium robertianum L. (herb Robert) leaf decoctions in Goto-Kakizaki (GK) rats, a model of type 2 diabetes. Our results showed that oral administr...
متن کاملMitochondrial nutrients improve immune dysfunction in the type 2 diabetic Goto-Kakizaki rats
The development of type 2 diabetes is accompanied by decreased immune function and the mechanisms are unclear. We hypothesize that oxidative damage and mitochondrial dysfunction may play an important role in the immune dysfunction in diabetes. In the present study, we investigated this hypothesis in diabetic Goto-Kakizaki rats by treatment with a combination of four mitochondrial-targeting nutr...
متن کاملShikonin Increases Glucose Uptake in Skeletal Muscle Cells and Improves Plasma Glucose Levels in Diabetic Goto-Kakizaki Rats
BACKGROUND There is considerable interest in identifying compounds that can improve glucose homeostasis. Skeletal muscle, due to its large mass, is the principal organ for glucose disposal in the body and we have investigated here if shikonin, a naphthoquinone derived from the Chinese plant Lithospermum erythrorhizon, increases glucose uptake in skeletal muscle cells. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FI...
متن کاملExercise‐induced alterations in pancreatic oxidative stress and mitochondrial function in type 2 diabetic Goto‐Kakizaki rats
Progressive metabolic complications accompanied by oxidative stress are the hallmarks of type 2 diabetes. The precise molecular mechanisms of the disease complications, however, remain elusive. Exercise-induced nontherapeutic management of type 2 diabetes is the first line of choice to control hyperglycemia and diabetes associated complications. In this study, using 11-month-old type 2 Goto-Kak...
متن کاملPulmonary tuberculosis in spontaneously diabetic goto kakizaki rats.
As a clinical association is thought to exist between diabetes and tuberculosis, this study was set up to examine whether GK/Jcl diabetic rats are more susceptible to Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection than non-diabetic rats. GK/Jcl diabetic rats were infected aerially with M. tuberculosis and their capacity to control mycobacterial growth, granuloma formation, cytokine secretion by alveolar ...
