Diabetes-associated cognitive dysfunction (DACD) is a complication of diabetes mellitus that leads to an increased risk of cognitive impairment and dementia. However, the molecular mechanism underlying DACD has not been elucidated, and a promising therapy for this disease remains to be established. Hydrogen sulfide (HS), a significant antioxidative and anti-inflammatory gasotransmitter, has emerged as a neuroprotective agent.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFAims/introduction: Micro-ribonucleic acids (miRNAs) possess crucial functions in governing metabolisms associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus. This study aimed to investigate the role of miR-23a-3p in pyroptosis caused by nucleotide-binding oligomerization-like receptor family pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammatory body activation, thereby reducing the occurrence of type 2 diabetes mellitus.
Materials And Methods: miR-23a-3p and NIMA-related kinase 7 (NEK7) expression in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients and rat models was examined.
