Background: Apelin plays a key beneficial role in energy metabolism by increasing glucose uptake and insulin sensitivity; however, apelin has a short half-life because it is rapidly cleared from the circulation limiting its therapeutic benefit. The aim of this study is to create a new approach to treat type 2 diabetes by inducing prolonged expression of apelin in Wharton's jelly-derived mesenchymal stem cells (WJ-MSCs).

Methods: A type 2 diabetic rat model was given a high-fat diet combined with low-dose streptozotocin (STZ) injection.
