Diabetic nephropathy (DN) can be prevented with early therapeutic intervention in diabetic patients. Recent investigations suggest that β-amyrin, a pentacyclic triterpenoid, could offer significant benefits with its potential antihyperglycemic and nephroprotective effects. We investigated the protective effects of β-amyrin alone and combined it with metformin, the cornerstone therapy for diabetes, using a hyperglycemic adult Zebrafish (ZF) model.
