The present study investigated the effect of treating diabetic rats with eugenol (EG). In vitro enzyme activity was measured in the presence of eugenol, and it was found to inhibit pancreatic α-amylase (IC(50) = 62.53 µg/mL) and lipase (IC(50) = 72.34 µg/mL) as well as angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) activity (IC50 = 130.67 µg/mL). In vivo, EG reduced the activity of amylase in serum, pancreas and intestine also the peak level of glucose by 60% compared to diabetic rats. Furthermore, eugenol similar to acarbose reduced serum glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), lipase and ACE levels. In addition, treatments with EG showed notable decrease in serum total-cholesterol, triglycerides and low density lipoprotein-cholesterol levels with an increase of high density lipoprotein-cholesterol. Overall, EG significantly reverted back to near normal the values of the biochemical biomarkers such as transaminases (AST&ALT), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), creatine phosphokinase (CPK) and gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT) activities, total-bilirubin, creatinine, urea and uric acid rates.

Introduction: Diabetes mellitus (DM) has become a public health problem, which is associated with high morbidity and mortality, due to the chronic complications, such as diabetic neuropathy. Current recommendations for the treatment of neuropathic pain achieve a reduction of 30% in only 30% of cases. Therefore, it is necessary to identify new therapeutic approaches to improve the quality of life of diabetic patients.

Transforming growth factor-beta 1 () and type I collagen play crucial roles in the pathogenesis of diabetic bladder disease (DBD). Moderate-intensity aerobic exercise increases antioxidant activity to help manage DBD. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise on the expression of and type I collagen in the detrusor and lamina propria of the bladder in a type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) rat model.

Medicinal herbs, such as the ant nest plant (), are promising for the management of diabetes mellitus-associated infertility. The aim of this study was to evaluate the biological activity of the ant nest plant and its capacity to mitigate the adverse effects of alloxan-induced diabetes on testicular morphology, epididymal function, and sperm quality in male rats. The tuber of the ant nest plant was extracted using methanol and then subjected to phytochemical screenings.

Diabetic wounds present a considerable challenge in modern medicine due to their prolonged healing process, driven by sustained inflammation and impaired vascular regeneration. This study introduces a novel hydrogel network through osmosis, utilizing hyaluronic acid (HA) and phytic acid (PA) for their anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, respectively. By incorporating recombinant Human Amelogenin (rhAM), known for its angiogenic potential, we aimed to develop the HA-PA-rhAM hydrogel to enhance wound healing in diabetic rats.
