Potentilla discolor Bunge (PDB), a perennial herb, has been used as a traditional Chinese medicine in the therapy of many diseases. The aim of the current study was to investigate the effect of PDB water extract on systemic inflammation and gut microbiota in type 2 diabetic (T2D) mice induced by high-fat diet (HFD) and streptozotocin (STZ) injection. C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into a normal diet (ND) group, T2D group, and PDB group (diabetic mice treated with PDB water extract at a dose of 400 mg/kg body weight). Results showed that PDB significantly decreased the levels of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and pro-inflammatory cytokines in serum. Further investigation showed that PDB significantly reduced the ratio of Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes and the relative abundance of Proteobacteria in fecal samples of diabetic mice. In addition, PDB notably alleviated intestinal inflammation as evidenced by decreased expression of toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), myeloid differentiation factor 88 (MyD88), nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB), and inflammatory cytokines. PDB also reversed the decreased expression of intestinal mucosal tight junction proteins including Claudin3, ZO-1, and Occludin. Meanwhile, the levels of fecal acetic acid and butyric acid and their specific receptors including G-protein-coupled receptor (GPR) 41 and 43 expression in the colon were also increased after PDB treatment. Our results indicated that PDB might serve as a potential functional ingredient against diabetes and related inflammation.

Glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) mimetics have been approved as an adjunct therapy for glycemic control in type 2 diabetic patients for the increased insulin secretion under hyperglycemic conditions. Recently, it is reported that such agents elicit neuroprotective effects against diabetes-associated cognitive decline. However, there is an issue of poor compliance by multiple daily subcutaneous injections for sufficient glycemic control due to their short duration, and neuroprotective actions were not fully studied, yet. In this study, using the prepared exendin-4 fusion protein agent, we investigated the pharmacokinetic profile and the role of this GLP-1 mimetics on memory deficits in a high-fat diet (HFD)/streptozotocin (STZ) mouse model of type 2 diabetic mellitus. After induction of diabetes, mice were administered weekly by intraperitoneal injection of GLP-1 mimetics for 6 weeks. This treatment reversed HFD/STZ-induced metabolic symptoms of increased body weight, hyperglycemia, and hepatic steatosis. Furthermore, the impaired cognitive performance of diabetic mice was significantly reversed by GLP-1 mimetics. GLP-1 mimetic treatment also reversed decreases in GLP-1/GLP-1 receptor expression levels in both the pancreas and hippocampus of diabetic mice; increases in hippocampal inflammation, mitochondrial fission, and calcium-binding protein levels were also reversed. These findings suggest that GLP-1 mimetics are promising agents for both diabetes and neurodegenerative diseases that are associated with increased GLP-1 expression in the brain.

Diabetes is associated with oxidative stress and has a significant role in the pathophysiology of the disease and its complications. Exercise training is a powerful therapeutic approach in diabetes and has protective effects against the progress of its complications. Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of an endurance exercise program on the oxidative stress marker malondialdehyde (MDA) in high fat diet-low dose streptozotocin induced type 2 diabetic mouse model. Study Design: Randomized Control trial. Setting: Department of Physiology, Akhtar Saeed Medical and Dental College, Lahore. Period: August 2017 to August 2018. Material & Methods: 60 male albino mice were fed a high fat diet containing 60% kCal as fat for 4 weeks. This was followed by intra peritoneal injection of 40mg/kg body weight streptozotocin, given on three consecutive days. Mice with fasting blood glucose more than 250mg/dl after a week were considered diabetic. Half the mice underwent an exercise program which comprised of a 20 minute swimming session per day, with a 6% body weight load attached to the tail of mice, 3 days a week, for 4 weeks. The level of MDA was estimated in both groups using TBARs method. Results: Mean malondialdehyde level was significantly (p˂0.05) reduced in diabetic mice that underwent endurance exercise training. Conclusion: This study highlights the important role of endurance exercise in reducing oxidative stress in diabetes.
