The ultrastructure of the placentae on day 20 of gestation was studied in rats made diabetic by streptozotocin injection on day 13 of gestation. In the placentae of control rats most of the glycogen was found in the glycogen cells, while some of it was localized to the labyrinth trophoblastic layers. In the diabetic rats a marked increase in glycogen content, together with higher numbers of glycogen cells in the junctional zone, was seen. Glycogen was also stored in other cell types of this zone, as well as in all cell types of the placental labyrinth of the diabetic animals.

Multidrug resistance (MDR) infectious wounds are a major concern due to drug resistance, leading to increased patient morbidity. Lichenysin (LCN), a lipopeptide and biosurfactant obtained from certain strains of , has demonstrated an excellent antimicrobial property. The present study focuses on the fabrication and comprehensive evaluation of LCN-incorporated poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA)/polycaprolactone (PCL)-based nanofiber scaffolds using an electrospinning technique as a potential wound healing biomaterial for the treatment of MDR infectious wounds in diabetic rats.

Diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a serious complication in patients with diabetes, which still lacks adequate therapy. Ferroptosis has recently been emphasized as a main contributor to the development of DCM. Hence, the current study aimed to assess the effects of morin, a well-known phytochemical, on the DCM.

Background: Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is characterized by insulin resistance and defective insulin secretion. Previously, we found that rats fed soft pellets (SPs) on a 3-hour restricted schedule over 14 weeks demonstrated glucose intolerance and insulin resistance with disruption of insulin signaling.
Objective: To determine (1) the time required for an SP diet to induce insulin resistance, and (2) whether the metabolic derangements in rats fed SPs can be reversed by changing to a standard control diet.

The complex causes of diabetic wounds require a combined strategy for effective treatment. Herein we investigated whether bioengineering and biodegradable silk-hyaluronan (SH) scaffold incorporated with curcumin nanoparticles (CN) could promote wound repairing in diabetic rats. Forty-five diabetic animals were randomly divided into the control group, SH group, and CN-incorporated SH (SCN) group.

Exudate management and cell activity enhancement are vital to complicated wound healing. However, current exudate management dressings indiscriminately remove exudate, which is detrimental to cell activity enhancement. Herein, a novel class of electroactive bilayer (cMO/PVA) dressing is developed by constructing manganese oxide nanoneedle-clusters decorated commercial carbon cloth (MO), in situ casting polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) hydrogel, and finally charging.
