Article Synopsis
- Salidroside (SAL), derived from the herb Rhodiola, shows potential as a diabetes treatment by reshaping gut microbiota and reducing iron accumulation.
- In diabetic db/db mice, SAL treatment led to lower blood glucose levels and improved heart function by inhibiting ferroptosis (a form of cell death) and influencing gut bacteria composition.
- The research indicates that SAL enhances beneficial bacteria while lowering Lactobacillus levels, suggesting its role in regulating gut health and iron metabolism as part of its therapeutic effect against diabetes.
