Abstract

The present study aimed to investigate the mechanism of glucagon‑like peptide‑1 receptor (GLP‑1R) agonists in the progression of diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) in streptozotocin (STZ)‑induced diabetic rats, through inflammatory signaling pathways. The DPN rat model was generated by intraperitoneal injection of STZ and then treated with the GLP‑1R agonist liraglutide or saline for 8 weeks. These animals were randomly divided into 4 groups (10 rats in each): The normal control + saline group, the normal control + liraglutide group, the diabetic + saline (DM) group and the diabetic + liraglutide (DML) group. The nerve conduction velocity (NCV) in the sciatic nerves of the rats was monitored over a period of 8 weeks. Peripheral serum was obtained for the measurement of blood glucose, tumor necrosis factor‑α (TNF‑α), interleukin‑6 (IL‑6) and IL‑1β level. The protein levels of phosphorylated (p‑) and total extracellular signal‑regulated kinase, c‑Jun NH2‑terminal kinases, p38 mitogen‑activated protein kinases (MAPK), and nuclear and cytoplasmic nuclear factor‑κB (NF‑κB) were measured through western blot analysis. Sciatic nerve mRNA expression levels of proinflammatory chemokines (TNF‑α, IL‑6 and IL‑1β), chemokines [monocyte ch...Continue Reading

Cardiovascular Biology of GLP-1

Glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) plays a role in glucose metabolism, energy homeostasis, and inflammation suppression. GLP-1 receptor signaling has been shown to impact cardiovascular function. This feed focuses on the role of GLP-1 and GLP-1 receptor agonists on cardiovascular biology.

Adhesion Molecules in Health and Disease

Cell adhesion molecules are a subset of cell adhesion proteins located on the cell surface involved in binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix in the process called cell adhesion. In essence, cell adhesion molecules help cells stick to each other and to their surroundings. Cell adhesion is a crucial component in maintaining tissue structure and function.
