Article Abstract
Diabetes is a prevalent and debilitating metabolic disorder affecting a large population worldwide. The condition is characterized by insulin resistance and impaired function of pancreatic β-cells, leading to elevated blood glucose levels. In this study, the antidiabetic effects of extract (EAE) on zebrafish with damaged pancreatic islets caused by insulin resistance were investigated. The study utilized the zebrafish model to monitor live pancreatic islets. RNA sequencing was also conducted to determine the mechanism by which EAE exerts its antidiabetic effect. The results showed that EAE was effective in recovering reduced islets in excess insulin-induced zebrafish. The effective concentration at 50% (EC) of EAE was determined to be 0.54 μg/mL, while the lethal concentration at 50% (LC) was calculated as 202.5 μg/mL. RNA sequencing indicated that the mode of action of EAE is related to its ability to induce mitochondrial damage and suppress endoplasmic reticulum stress. The findings of this study demonstrate the efficacy and therapeutic potential of EAE in treating insulin resistance in zebrafish. The results suggest that EAE may offer a promising approach for the management of diabetes by reducing mitochondrial damage and suppressing endoplasmic reticulum stress. Further research is required to establish the clinical application of EAE in diabetic patients.

Background: Sleep and frailty are established influencing factors for cardiometabolic diseases (CMDs). However, their joint effects on cardiometabolic multimorbidity (CMM) in older adults remain poorly understood. This study aimed to assess the joint effect of sleep health and frailty on CMD prevalence and severity, with an emphasis on subgroup-specific health risk profiles.

Insulin therapy remains a cornerstone in the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), especially in patients experiencing progressive loss of pancreatic beta-cell function or those with inadequate glycemic control despite oral antidiabetic therapy. This review synthesized clinical outcomes from 44 peer-reviewed case reports published between 2019 and 2024, identified through systematic searches in PubMed and Scopus. The included cases involved 15 males and 29 females, with patient ages ranging from 11 to 91 years (mean 53 ± 20.

Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), a type of diabetes mellitus occurring in pregnant women, increases the risk of birth trauma. Solute carrier family 2 member 4 (SLC2A4) polymorphism is notably associated with GDM susceptibility; however, the mechanism is unknown. In the present study, HTR-8/SVneo cells were treated with high glucose concentrations and transfected with SLC2A4 and Forkhead box O (FoxO)1 to investigate their roles in the insulin (INS) resistance of GDM trophoblast cells.

Background: Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is a rising health issue linked to poor diet and gut microbiota dysbiosis. The Mediterranean-DASH Intervention for Neurodegenerative Delay (MIND) diet, high in polyphenols and anti-inflammatory nutrients, may help protect against MASLD. This study examined how adherence to the MIND diet relates to MASLD severity, focusing on hepatic steatosis, fibrosis, insulin resistance, inflammation, and gut microbiota diversity.

Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) has emerged as a major contributor to systemic metabolic dysfunction and is increasingly recognized as a risk enhancer for both cardiovascular disease (CVD) and chronic kidney disease (CKD). This review explores the complex interconnections between MASLD, CVD, and CKD, with emphasis on shared pathophysiological mechanisms and the clinical implications for risk assessment and management. We describe the crosstalk among the liver, heart, and kidneys, focusing on insulin resistance, chronic inflammation, and progressive fibrosis as key mediators.
