Background: Diabetes mellitus (DM) can induce cardiomyocyte injury and lead to diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM) which presently has no specific treatments and consequently increase risk of mortality.

Objective: To characterize the therapeutic effect of 6-gingerol (6-G) on DCM and identify its potential mechanism.

Methods: In vivo streptozotocin- (STZ-) induced DM model was established by using a high-fat diet and STZ, followed by low-dose (25 mg/kg) and high-dose (75 mg/kg) 6-G intervention.

Central Laboratory, Joint Shantou International Eye Center of Shantou University and The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shantou University Medica College, Dongxia Bei Road, Shantou, 515041 Guangdong, China.

To investigate the activity of senescence-associated beta-galactosidase (SA-beta-GAL) in the hippocampus of aging rats. Hippocampi of 6-, 18-, and 24-month-old rats were observed by histochemical staining for SA-beta-GAL and cytochemical staining for SA-beta-GAL in cultured hippocampal neurons. The activity of SA-beta-GAL doubled in hippocampal pyramidal cells of the CA3 region in rats between 6 and 18 months (14.
