Abstract
Growing evidence suggest that there is a connection between Parkinson's disease (PD) and insulin dysregulation in the brain, whilst the connection between PD and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is still up for debate. Insulin is widely recognised to play a crucial role in neuronal survival and brain function; any changes in insulin metabolism and signalling in the central nervous system (CNS) can lead to the development of various brain disorders. There is accumulating evidence linking T2DM to PD and other neurodegenerative diseases. In fact, they have a lot in common patho-physiologically, including insulin dysregulation, oxidative stress resulting in mitochondrial dysfunction, microglial activation, and inflammation. As a result, initial research should focus on the role of insulin and its molecular mechanism in order to develop therapeutic outcomes. In this current review, we will look into the link between T2DM and PD, the function of insulin in the brain, and studies related to impact of insulin in causing T2DM and PD. Further, we have also highlighted the role of various insulin signalling pathway in both T2DM and PD. We have also suggested that T2DM-targeting pharmacological strategies as potential therapeutic approach for individuals with cognitive impairment, and we have demonstrated the effectiveness of T2DM-prescribed drugs through current PD treatment trials. In conclusion, this investigation would fill a research gap in T2DM-associated Parkinson's disease (PD) with a potential therapy option.

Abstract
Baihu Rensheng decoction (BHRS) can effectively improve insulin resistance (IR) and decrease blood glucose in diabetic patients. However, its specific mechanism of action remains unclear. In this study, a type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) rat model was established using a high-fat diet combined with streptozotocin (STZ) injection and treated with BHRS. Firstly, the therapeutic and anti-inflammatory effects of BHRS on T2DM were evaluated. Secondly, the effects of BHRS on gut permeability were evaluated and western blot was used to detect the changes of TLR4/NF-κB pathway-related protein expressions in liver. Finally, 16S rRNA sequencing was used to detect alteration of gut microbiota diversity and abundance in rats after BHRS treatment. Our results showed that BHRS could alleviate the hyperglycemia, hyperlipidemia, IR, and pathological changes of liver, pancreas, and kidney in T2DM rats. BHRS could also decrease the levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines and inhibit the oxidative stress. Immunohistochemistry showed BHRS could increase the expression tight junction-related proteins (ZO-1 and occludin) in colon. Besides, the level of LPS in serum was decreased after BHRS treatment. Western blot results showed that the protein expression of TLR4, MyD88 and the phosphorylation IκB, and NF-κBp65 were lowered after BHRS treatment. 16S rRNA sequencing showed that BHRS treatment altered the diversity of gut microbiotra and decreases the Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes (F to B) ratio at the phylum level. At the genus level, BHRS could increase the relative abundances of Lactobacillus, Blautia, and Anaerostipes and decrease the relative abundances of Allobaculum, Candidatus Saccharimonas, and Ruminococcus. In conclusion, our study revealed the various ameliorative effects of BHRS on T2DM, including improving the liver and kidney functions and alleviating the hyperglycemia, hyperlipidemia, pathological changes, oxidative stress and inflammatory response. The mechanisms of BHRS on T2DM are likely linked to the repair of gut barrier and the inhibition of TLR4/NF-κB-mediated inflammatory response and the improvement in the dysbiosis of gut microbiota.
