Article Synopsis
- Garlic extract (GE) has been shown to lower blood sugar levels in diabetic rats by boosting insulin production, although the exact process behind this is still not fully understood.
- The study utilized techniques like qRT-PCR and western blotting to analyze pancreas tissues from diabetic rats and found that GE treatment promotes the expression of progenitor cell markers and mature β-cell markers over time.
- Ultimately, GE contributes to the regeneration of β-cells in diabetic rats and helps restore the overall structure of pancreatic islets, likely through differentiation from precursor cells and conversion from other cell types.
