AI Article Synopsis

  • Type 1 diabetes can lead to serious heart problems called Ischemic Heart Disease (IHD), which makes it hard for blood to flow to the heart.
  • A study was done on diabetic rats to see if a drug called rosmanol could help protect the heart from damage when blood flow is restored after being blocked.
  • The results showed that rosmanol reduced heart damage and helped heart function by boosting a special pathway in the heart, making it a potential treatment for heart issues in people with diabetes.

Article Abstract

Background: A major factor in type 1 diabetes mortality is Ischemic Heart Disease (IHD). In order to treat IHD, blood flow must be restored to the heart, which results in myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (MI/R) damage. While rosmanol inhibits MI/R damage, its role in diabetic- MI/R (D-MI/R) injury remains unclear. Both microRNA (miR) 126 and the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway have been linked to preventing MI/R damage.

Objective: The objective of the present study was to investigate whether rosmanol inhibits DMI/ R-injury in diabetic rats and whether miR-126-phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/ protein kinase B axis (miR-126-PI3K/AKT) is implicated in this protective effect.

Methods: For 30 days, diabetic rats received either distilled water or the drug rosmanol (40 mg/kg, orally) before being subjected to MI/R.

Results: The findings from the current study demonstrated how rosmanol reduced MI/R damage in rats with diabetes caused by streptozotocin (STZ). Using spectrophotometry, it was possible to measure the decrease in myocardial enzyme levels, the rise in cardiac viability, the inhibition of myocardial oxidative stress, the increase in cardiac function, and the detection of these changes using a hemodynamic monitoring system. In addition, rosmanol augmented the miR- 126-PI3K/AKT in the hearts of ischemic rats. After stimulating the myocardial miR-126- PI3K/AKT axis, our results showed that rosmanol protected the heart against MI/R in STZinduced diabetic rats.

Conclusion: According to the most recent research, rosmanol may be a useful tool in the therapy of diabetic IHD since it is an effective agent against D-MI/R damage.

Background: Sodium glucose transporter 2 inhibitor (SGLT2i) is the latest guideline-directed medical therapy for patients with heart failure, as it has demonstrated favorable cardiovascular outcomes in heart failure (HF) patients with or without diabetes. Furthermore, SGLT2i has effectively improved cognitive function in older adults with diabetes and HF. However, the effects of SGLT2i on cognitive function and brain mitochondrial function in rats with ischemic HF have never been investigated.

Background: Excessive high-fat diet (HFD) consumption develops the obese pre-diabetic condition, which initiates neuroinflammation and numerous brain pathologies, resulting in cognitive decline (1). A cinnamamide derivative compound (2i-10) is recently identified as a novel myeloid differentiation factor 2 (MD-2) inhibitor, and has been shown to attenuate inflammation via toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) signaling pathway (2). However, the effects of 2i-10 on the neuroinflammation, brain pathologies and cognitive function in the obese pre-diabetic rats have never been studied.
