Abstract
Diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) is caused by several factors, including reactive free oxygen radicals (ROS)-induced excessive Ca2+ influx. Transient receptor potential (TRP) vanilloid 4 (TRPV4) is a member of the Ca2+-permeable TRP superfamily. Resveratrol (RESV) has been extensively utilized in TRP channel regulation due to its pharmacological properties, which include antioxidant and TRP inhibitory effects. The protective function of RESV and the contribution of TRPV4 to streptozotocin (STZ)-induced neuropathic pain in mice are still unclear. Here, we evaluated the effects of RESV through the modulation of TRPV4 on Ca2+ influx, ROS-mediated pain, apoptosis, and oxidative damage in the mouse dorsal root ganglion (DRGs). From the 32 mice, four groups were induced: control, RESV, STZ, and STZ + RESV. We found that the injection of RESV reduced the changes caused by the STZ-induced stimulation of TRPV4, which in turn increased mechanical/thermal neuropathic pain, cytosolic Ca2+ influx, TRPV4 current density, oxidants (lipid peroxidation, mitochondrial ROS, and cytosolic ROS), and apoptotic markers (caspase-3, -8, and -9). The RESV injection also increased the STZ-mediated reduction of viability of DRG and the amounts of glutathione, glutathione peroxidase, vitamin A, β-carotene, and vitamin E in the brain, erythrocytes, plasma, liver, and kidney. All of these findings suggest that TRPV4 stimulation generates oxidative neurotoxicity, neuropathic pain, and apoptosis in the STZ-induced diabetic mice. On the other hand, neurotoxicity and apoptosis were reduced due to the downregulation of TRPV4 carried out through the RESV injection.

Abstract
The persistence of neuronal degeneration and damage is a major obstacle in ageing medicine. Nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain (NOD)-like receptors detect environmental stressors and trigger the maturation and secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines that can cause neuronal damage and accelerate cell death. NLR (NOD-like receptors) inflammasomes are protein complexes that contain NOD-like receptors. Studying the role of NLR inflammasomes in ageing-related neurological disorders can provide valuable insights into the mechanisms of neurodegeneration. This includes investigating their activation of inflammasomes, transcription, and capacity to promote or inhibit inflammatory signaling, as well as exploring strategies to regulate NLR inflammasomes levels. This review summarizes the use of NLR inflammasomes in guiding neuronal degeneration and injury during the ageing process, covering several neurological disorders such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, stroke, and peripheral neuropathies. To improve the quality of life and slow the progression of neurological damage, NLR-based treatment strategies, including inhibitor-related therapies and physical therapy, are presented. Additionally, important connections between age-related neurological disorders and NLR inflammasomes are highlighted to guide future research and facilitate the development of new treatment options.

The antioxidant, antidiabetic, and antihyperlipidemic effects of the polyphenolic extract from Salvia blancoana subsp. mesatlantica on induced diabetes in rats. BIORESOUR BIOPROCESS 2024; 11:62. [PMID: 38926327 PMCID: PMC11208370 DOI: 10.1186/s40643-024-00769-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/17/2024] [Accepted: 05/06/2024] [Indexed: 06/28/2024] Open
Abstract
Currently, several studies have demonstrated the benefits of medicinal plants in managing type 2 diabetes. In this work, we evaluated the beneficial effects of the polyphenolic extract (PESB) from Salvia blancoana subsp. mesatlantica in the management of hypercaloric-feeding and small-dose alloxan-brought type 2 diabetes in rats. We analyzed the chemical constituents of the extract, including flavones and flavonols content, to understand its biological action. The antioxidant activities were evaluated by total antioxidant action, scavenging effect of the free radical DPPH, and reducing power. The obtained results showed that the value of TFC was estimated at 31.90 ± 0.34 mgEQ/g in the PESB extract. The total antioxidant capacity was estimated at 593.51 ± 4.09 mg (EAA)/g, the value of DPPH IC50 was 7.3 ± 0.00 μg/mL, and the value of EC50 of reducing power was estimated at 6.43 ± 0.01 μg/mL. In total, 14 phenolic compounds were identified and the naringin was the most dominant (63.19%) while the vanillin was the less recorded (0.10%). Serum glucose decreased significantly (p < 0.05) in rats given PESB (100 mg/kg) after four weeks. Glibenclamide (GLB) and PESB reduced HbA1c and increased plasma insulin in diabetic rats, restoring HOMA-β and HOMA-IR levels to near-normal. Additionally, diabetic rats treated with GLB or PESB showed statistically equivalent results to those of non-diabetic rats regarding hepatic enzymes, renal and lipid markers, as well as cardiovascular indices. The weight loss was significantly lower in diabetic rats receiving a dose of PESB (100 mg/kg), and GLB compared to corresponding untreated diabetic rats (p < 0.01). PESB and GLB showed a prominent protective function in the pancreas, liver, and kidney tissues. This investigation demonstrates the capacity of extracts from leaves of S. blancoana subsp. mesatlantica to manage diabetes mellitus due to their richness in a wide range of bioactive compounds. Therefore, more investigations are required to estimate the safety of the plant use.

Abstract
Metabolic diseases and their complications impose health and economic burdens worldwide. Evidence from past experimental studies and clinical trials suggests our body may have the ability to remember the past metabolic environment, such as hyperglycemia or hyperlipidemia, thus leading to chronic inflammatory disorders and other diseases even after the elimination of these metabolic environments. The long-term effects of that aberrant metabolism on the body have been summarized as metabolic memory and are found to assume a crucial role in states of health and disease. Multiple molecular mechanisms collectively participate in metabolic memory management, resulting in different cellular alterations as well as tissue and organ dysfunctions, culminating in disease progression and even affecting offspring. The elucidation and expansion of the concept of metabolic memory provides more comprehensive insight into pathogenic mechanisms underlying metabolic diseases and complications and promises to be a new target in disease detection and management. Here, we retrace the history of relevant research on metabolic memory and summarize its salient characteristics. We provide a detailed discussion of the mechanisms by which metabolic memory may be involved in disease development at molecular, cellular, and organ levels, with emphasis on the impact of epigenetic modulations. Finally, we present some of the pivotal findings arguing in favor of targeting metabolic memory to develop therapeutic strategies for metabolic diseases and provide the latest reflections on the consequences of metabolic memory as well as their implications for human health and diseases.

Abstract
Diabetic peripheral neuropathy is the most prominent microvascular complication of diabetes mellitus and the leading cause of ulceration, amputation, and extended hospitalization. Evidence regarding the magnitude and factors associated with diabetic peripheral neuropathy is not well documented in Ethiopia, particularly in the study area. A facility-based cross-sectional study was conducted among 293 adult type 2 diabetic patients who were on treatment and follow-up from May to June 31, 2023. To select participants in the study, a systematic random sampling method was utilized. Data were collected using semi-structured questionnaires and medical record reviews. The Michigan Neuropathy Screening Instrument (MNSI) was employed to assess diabetic peripheral neuropathy. To model the association between diabetic peripheral neuropathy and independent variables, binary logistic regression model was used. An adjusted odds ratio with a 95% confidence interval was used to estimate the association and statistical significance was proclaimed at a p-value < 0.05. The magnitude of diabetic peripheral neuropathy was 14.3% (95% CI 10.4-18.0). It was 13.4% (95% CI 8.4-19.1) among males and 15.4% (95% CI 10.1-22.2) among females. Age above 60 years (AOR = 5.06, 95% CI 1.60-15.96), being rural resident (AOR = 2.41; 95% CI 1.15-5.06), duration of diabetes above 5 years (AOR = 2.48, 95% CI 1.16-5.27) and having comorbid hypertension (AOR = 2.56, 95% CI 1.24-5.28) were independently associated with diabetic peripheral neuropathy. One in seven adult type 2 diabetes patients in the study area had diabetic peripheral neuropathy. Factors such as age, place of residence, duration of diabetes, and comorbid hypertension showed positive associations with diabetic peripheral neuropathy. Thus, it is imperative to give special consideration to diabetic patients who are elderly, living in rural areas, experiencing a prolonged duration of diabetes, or dealing with comorbid hypertension.

Abstract
AIM To reach a multidisciplinary consensus on managing patients with type 2 diabetes among specialists in family medicine, cardiology, endocrinology, internal medicine, and nephrology. METHODS A two-round Delphi study was conducted using a questionnaire with 68 positive/negative statements distributed in four thematic blocks on diabetes management: early diagnosis and prediabetes, referral criteria, treatment and comorbidities, and clinical management. The expert panel was composed of 105 physicians from different specialties (family medicine, cardiology, endocrinology, internal medicine, and nephrology) with experience in managing patients with diabetes and who were members of a diabetes-related society. RESULTS Response rates for the first and second rounds were 86.7 and 75.2%, respectively. After both rounds, a consensus was reached on 52 (76.5%) items. The recommendations with the highest degree of consensus (median = 10, IQR = 0.00) were related to anti-smoking education, cardiovascular risk factor target control, and diabetic kidney disease. There were significant differences between family physicians and other specialties for some items. CONCLUSIONS This study provides a set of recommendations for diabetes management agreed upon by specialists from different healthcare settings.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) is a common complication of diabetes mellitus and can lead to serious complications. Therapeutic strategies for pain control are available but there are few approaches that influence neurological deficits such as numbness. AIM To investigate the effectiveness of acupuncture on improving neurological deficits in patients suffering from type 2 DPN. METHODS The acupuncture in DPN (ACUDPN) study was a two-armed, randomized, controlled, parallel group, open, multicenter clinical trial. Patients were randomized in a 1:1 ratio into two groups: The acupuncture group received 12 acupuncture treatments over 8 wk, and the control group was on a waiting list during the first 16 wk, before it received the same treatment as the other group. Both groups received routine care. Outcome parameters were evaluated after 8, 16 and 24 wk and included neurological scores, such as an 11-point numeric rating scale (NRS) 11 for hypesthesia, neuropathic pain symptom inventory (NPSI), neuropathy deficit score (NDS), neuropathy symptom score (NSS); nerve conduction studies (NCS) were assessed with a handheld point-of-care device. RESULTS Sixty-two participants were included. The NRS for numbness showed a difference of 2.3 (P < 0.001) in favor of the acupuncture group, the effect persisted until week 16 with a difference of 2.2 (P < 0.001) between groups and 1.8 points at week 24 compared to baseline. The NPSI was improved in the acupuncture group by 12.6 points (P < 0.001) at week 8, the NSS score at week 8 with a difference of 1.3 (P < 0.001); the NDS and the TNSc score improved for the acupuncture group in week 8, with a difference of 2.0 points (P < 0.001) compared to the control group. Effects were persistent in week 16 with a difference of 1.8 points (P < 0.05). The NCS showed no meaningful changes. In both groups only minor side effects were reported. CONCLUSION Study results suggest that acupuncture may be beneficial in type 2 diabetic DPN and seems to lead to a reduction in neurological deficits. No serious adverse events were recorded and the adherence to treatment was high. Confirmatory randomized sham-controlled clinical studies with adequate patient numbers are needed to confirm the results.

Abstract
Ferroptosis, as a way of cell death, participates in the body's normal physiological and pathological regulation. Recent studies have shown that ferroptosis may damage glucose-stimulated islets β Insulin secretion and programmed cell death of T2DM target organs are involved in the pathogenesis of T2DM and its complications. Targeting suppression of ferroptosis with specific inhibitors may provide new therapeutic opportunities for previously untreated T2DM and its target organs. Current studies suggest that natural bioactive compounds, which are abundantly available in drugs, foods, and medicinal plants for the treatment of T2DM and its target organs, have recently received significant attention for their various biological activities and minimal toxicity, and that many natural compounds appear to have a significant role in the regulation of ferroptosis in T2DM and its target organs. Therefore, this review summarized the potential treatment strategies of natural compounds as ferroptosis inhibitors to treat T2DM and its complications, providing potential lead compounds and natural phytochemical molecular nuclei for future drug research and development to intervene in ferroptosis in T2DM.

Abstract
As a major late complication of diabetes, diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) is the primary reason for amputation. Nevertheless, there are no wonder drugs available. Regulating dysfunctional mitochondria is a key therapeutic target for DPN. Resveratrol (RSV) is widely proven to guard mitochondria, yet the unsatisfactory bioavailability restricts its clinical application. Tetrahedral framework nucleic acids (tFNAs) are promising carriers due to their excellent cell entrance efficiency, biological safety, and structure editability. Here, RSV was intercalated into tFNAs to form the tFNAs-RSV complexes. tFNAs-RSV achieved enhanced stability, bioavailability, and biocompatibility compared with tFNAs and RSV alone. With its treatment, reactive oxygen species (ROS) production was minimized and reductases were activated in an in vitro model of DPN. Besides, respiratory function and adenosine triphosphate (ATP) production were enhanced. tFNAs-RSV also exhibited favorable therapeutic effects on sensory dysfunction, neurovascular deterioration, demyelination, and neuroapoptosis in DPN mice. Metabolomics analysis revealed that redox regulation and energy metabolism were two principal mechanisms that were impacted during the process. Comprehensive inspections indicated that tFNAs-RSV inhibited nitrosation and oxidation and activated reductase and respiratory chain. In sum, tFNAs-RSV served as a mitochondrial nanoguard (mito-guard), representing a viable drilling target for clinical drug development of DPN.

[PMID: 37572783 DOI: 10.1016/j.steroids.2023.109289] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/18/2023] [Revised: 07/25/2023] [Accepted: 08/02/2023] [Indexed: 08/14/2023]
Abstract
Several clinical studies have shown an association between vitamin D deficiency and painful diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN). However, it is still unclear whether vitamin D status and inflammatory markers correlate in patients with painful DPN. In this context, we aimed to investigate the associations between serum vitamin D levels and inflammatory status in Kurdish type 2 diabetes patients (T2DM) with painful DPN and without painful DPN. A clinical case-control study was conducted on 86 Kurdish patients with T2DM. The patients were divided into two groups: the case group consisted of 45 patients with painful DPN and the control group consisted of 41 age- and sex-matched diabetics without DPN. In T2DM patients with and without painful DPN, the prevalence of severe vitamin D deficiency was observed in 46.67% and 21.95% of the patients, respectively (p = 0.0283). The mean serum 25(OH)-vitamin D level in patients with painful DPN (mean = 12.00, SD = 5.78) was significantly lower than in patients without DPN (mean = 16.36, SD = 7.86; p = 0.0041). Regression analysis revealed that vitamin D deficiency (p = 0.0120) and higher glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) (p = 0.00003) were identified as predictive risk factors for painful DPN. However, there was no significant association between inflammatory status and vitamin D levels. The duration of sun exposure was the only controlling factor for vitamin D in painful DPN patients. In the Kurdish population, lower vitamin D and high HbA1c levels were predictive factors for painful DPN.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We examined the impact of adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cell (ADMSC)-facilitated empagliflozin (EMPA) therapy for alleviating hyperglycemic induced neuropathy [i.e., diabetic neuropathy (DN)]. METHODS Study constituted N2a cell culture and rats to be classified into groups 1 (sham-operated-control)/2 (DN)/3 (DN + empagliflozin/20 mg/kg/daily orally for 6 weeks since post-day-7 DN induction)/4 (DN + ADMSCs/1.2 × 106 cells by vein transfusion at time intervals of 1/3/5 weeks after DN induction)/5 (DN + empagliflozin + ADMSCs) and sacrificed by day-42 after DN induction. RESULTS In vitro results showed that, compared to N2a cells, the cellular levels of senescence/DNA-damage and protein expressions of oxidative-stress (OS), apoptotic, autophagic and inflammatory biomarkers were significantly higher in N2a + glucose (25 mM) but were significantly reversed in N2a + glucose + ADMSCs, whereas the cellular levels of mitochondrial cytochrome C and protein levels of anti-oxidants displayed an opposite pattern of OS (all P<0.001). The above-mentioned parameters (i.e., OS/apoptosis/fibrosis/autophagy/DNA-damage) were lowest in N2a cells, highest in N2a + glucose and significantly higher in N2a + glucose + EMPA (50 μM) than in N2a + glucose + EMPA (150 μM) (all P<0.001). By days 7/14/21/28/35/42 after DN induction, the values of thermal paw-withdrawal-latency (TPWL)/mechanical-paw-withdrawal-threshold were highest in group 1 and significantly progressively increased from groups 2/4/3/5 (all P<0.0001). The cellular levels of unmyelinated C- and myelinated A-δ fibers, and protein levels of OS/apoptotic/DNA-damaged/fibrotic/autophagic/inflammatory/pain-facilitated/voltage-gated sodium channel biomarkers in L4-L5 levels of dorsal-root-ganglia exhibited an contradictory manner of TPWL among the groups (all P<0.0001). CONCLUSIONS Combination of EMPA and ADMSC therapy was superior to either alone for improving outcomes of DN.

Abstract
Introduction and importance SARS-CoV-2 infection, besides respiratory symptoms, as cardinal manifestation, may present with neurological involvement. Immune-mediated polyradiculoneuropathy is one of the important neurological complications manifested by COVID-19 mainly includes Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS), treatment-related fluctuation of GBS, and chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP). Also, there are several reports of COVID-19 vaccine-related GBS and CIDP. According to possible severe manifestations of neuropathies like respiratory failure, considering these complications for early diagnosis and treatment is very important. Case presentation The authors presented a 67-year-old woman with severe weakness in upper and lower extremities, the patient was diagnosed as case with CIDP initiated after COVID-19 virus infection and/or vaccination that experienced one relapse in 11 months. In both episodes, treatment with intravenous immunoglobulin started and the patient respond. Clinical discussion To the best of our knowledge, this is one of the first reported cases with a typical chronic course of CIDP associated with COVID-19 virus infection and/or vaccination. Conclusion Considering this complication and differentiation between GBS and CIDP, and then initiating maintenance therapy can prevent long-term disability.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Diabetes mellitus type 2 is a growing health concern that affects several systems in the body, among which is the phonatory apparatus. Voice may be affected in view of the high prevalence of myopathy and neuropathy in diseased subjects. The authors aimed to answer the following question: does type 2 diabetes have an effect on voice? METHODS The systematic review included search terms such as "speech, voice, larynx, glucose, diabetes, and hyperglycemia." The search strategy yielded 221 articles, only five of which satisfied the inclusion criteria. Articles were considered for inclusion using the PRISMA method. Analysis included 321 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and 171 controls. All studies included were case-control studies except for one study which was an observational cohort. Six parameters were chosen as endpoints for the systematic review and meta-analysis: the presence/absence of voice complaints, fundamental frequency, jitter, shimmer, noise-to-harmonic ratio, and maximum phonation time. RESULTS There was no significant difference in the prevalence of voice complaints (i.e., hoarseness) between diabetic patients and control groups. There was also no significant difference in any of the acoustic and aerodynamic measures between patients with type 2 diabetes and controls. These findings can be ascribed to the high resilience of the laryngeal muscles to the adverse effect of systemic diseases. CONCLUSION There is no consensus in the literature that the prevalence of voice symptoms in diabetic patients is significantly higher than that reported in healthy subjects.

Abstract
Selander emphatically said, "Handle these nerves with care," and those words still echo, conveying a loud and clear message that, however rare, peripheral nerve injury (PNI) remains a perturbing possibility that cannot be ignored. The unprecedented nerve injuries associated with peripheral nerve blocks (PNBs) can be most tormenting for the unfortunate patient and a nightmare for the anesthetist. Possible justifications for the seemingly infrequent occurrences of PNB-related PNIs include a lack of documentation/reporting, improper aftercare, or associated legal implications. Although they make up only a small portion of medicolegal claims, they are sometimes difficult to defend. The most common allegations are attributed to insufficient informed consent; preventable damage to a nerve(s); delay in diagnosis, referral, or treatment; misdiagnosis, and inappropriate treatment and follow-up care. Also, sufficient prospective studies or randomized trials have not been conducted, as exploring such nerve injuries (PNB-related) in living patients or volunteers may be impractical or unethical. Understanding the pathophysiology of various types of nerve injury is vital to dealing with them further. Processes like degeneration, regeneration, remyelination, and reinnervation can influence the findings of electrophysiological studies. Events occurring in such a process and their impact during the assessment determine the prognosis and the need for further interventions. This educational review describes various types of PNB-related nerve injuries and their associated pathophysiology.

Abstract
The incidence of Diabetes Mellitus is increasing globally. Individuals who have been burdened with diabetes for many years often develop complications as a result of hyperglycemia. More and more research is being conducted highlighting inflammation as an important factor in disease progression. In all kinds of diabetes, hyperglycemia leads to activation of alternative glucose metabolic pathways, resulting in problematic by-products including reactive oxygen species and advanced glycation end products. This review takes a look into the pathogenesis of three specific diabetic complications; retinopathy, nephropathy and neuropathy as well as their current treatment options. By considering recent research papers investigating the effects of immunotherapy on relevant conditions in animal models, multiple strategies are suggested for future treatment and prevention of diabetic complications with an emphasis on molecular targets associated with the inflammation.

Abstract
In recent decades, numerous types of regulated cell death have been identified, including pyroptosis, ferroptosis and necroptosis. Regulated necrosis is characterized by a series of amplified inflammatory responses that result in cell death. Therefore, it has been suggested to play an essential role in the pathogenesis of ocular surface diseases. The cell morphological features and molecular mechanisms of regulated necrosis are discussed in this review. Furthermore, it summarizes the role of ocular surface diseases, such as dry eye, keratitis, and cornea alkali burn, as potential disease prevention and treatment targets.

Abstract
Diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) is a major complication of diabetes mellitus with a high incidence. Oxidative stress, which is a crucial pathophysiological pathway of DPN, has attracted much attention. The distortion in the redox balance due to the overproduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the deregulation of antioxidant defense systems promotes oxidative damage in DPN. Therefore, we have focused on the role of oxidative stress in the pathogenesis of DPN and elucidated its interaction with other physiological pathways, such as the glycolytic pathway, polyol pathway, advanced glycosylation end products, protein kinase C pathway, inflammation, and non-coding RNAs. These interactions provide novel therapeutic options targeting oxidative stress for DPN. Furthermore, our review addresses the latest therapeutic strategies targeting oxidative stress for the rehabilitation of DPN. Antioxidant supplements and exercise have been proposed as fundamental therapeutic strategies for diabetic patients through ROS-mediated mechanisms. In addition, several novel drug delivery systems can improve the bioavailability of antioxidants and the efficacy of DPN.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM)-associated cardiac fibrosis contributes to heart failure. We previously showed that diabetic mice with cardiomyopathy, including cardiac fibrosis, exhibit low levels of the neuropeptide substance P; exogenous replacement of substance P reversed cardiac fibrosis, independent of body weight, blood glucose and blood pressure. We sought to elucidate the effectiveness and safety of replacement substance P to ameliorate or reverse cardiac fibrosis in type 2 diabetic monkeys. METHODS Four female T2DM African Green monkeys receive substance P (0.5 mg/Kg/day S.Q. injection) for 8 weeks. We obtained cardiac magnetic resonance imaging and blood samples to assess left ventricular function and fibrosis by T1 map-derived extracellular volume as well as circulating procollagen type I C-terminal propeptide. Hematological parameters for toxicities were also assessed in these monkeys and compared with three female T2DM monkeys receiving saline S.Q. as a safety comparison group. RESULTS Diabetic monkeys receiving replacement substance P exhibited a ∼20% decrease in extracellular volume (p = 0.01), concomitant with ∼25% decrease procollagen type I C-terminal propeptide levels (p = 0.008). Left ventricular ejection fraction was unchanged with substance P (p = 0.42); however, circumferential strain was improved (p < 0.01). Complete blood counts, glycosylated hemoglobin A1c, lipids, liver and pancreatic enzymes, and inflammation markers were unchanged (p > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Replacement substance P reversed cardiac fibrosis in a large preclinical model of type 2 diabetes, independent of glycemic control. No hematological or organ-related toxicity was associated with replacement substance P. These results strongly support a potential application for replacement substance P as safe therapy for diabetic cardiac fibrosis.

Abstract
Diabetes induces a disorder in mitochondrial activity, which causes damage to the nuclear and mitochondrial DNA and ultimately increases the release of inflammatory cytokines and damages the sciatic nerve and dorsal root ganglion and induces neuropathy. It has been shown that progesterone has anti-inflammatory and antioxidative effects and prevents nerve cell damage. Therefore, the aim of this experiment was to investigate the effect of progesterone receptor neuroprotection on diabetic neuropathy. Forty male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into four groups, including control group, diabetic control group, diabetic control group + progesterone (30 mg/kg), and diabetic control group + combination of progesterone (30 mg/kg) and RU486 (10 mg/kg). After the induction of diabetes, blood glucose level, body weight, behavioral tests, electrophysiological tests, oxidative and inflammatory factors, and histological parameters were measured. Progesterone treatment significantly reduced the level of sensitivity to hot plate without significant effect on glucose level, and significant changes were also observed in the results of tail flick test. In addition, the results showed that the administration of progesterone can improve MNCV and significantly reduce the serum levels of oxidative stress and inflammatory factors, as well as inflammation and edema around the sciatic nerve. However, RU486 inverted the beneficial effects of progesterone. Progesterone can be considered as a protective agent in reducing DN because of its ability to reduce inflammation and nerve damage. In addition, RU486, a progesterone receptor blocker, inhibits the beneficial effects of progesterone on the DN; thus, progesterone receptors play an important role in the neuroprotective effect of progesterone.

Abstract
Diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) is one of the risk factors for foot-related complications among people with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Hence, we aimed to validate the Michigan Neuropathy Screening Instrument (MNSI) tool against biothesiometer with a cut-off value of ≥25 V and also to determine the cut-off point of MNSI score for the diagnosis of diabetic neuropathy among people with T2DM in India. A cross-sectional study was conducted among 357 people with T2DM in a tertiary care centre for diabetes in Chennai, South India. The eligible study participants underwent testing with a biothesiometer and the MNSI tool was administered. The patient version tool of MNSI was translated to the local language, Tamil. The MNSI scores (1, 1.5, 2, and 2.5) were compared with biothesiometer value. For the MNSI scores of less than 1, 1.5, 2, and 2.5, sensitivities were 97.6%, 97.6%, 96.8%, and 77.8% and specificities were 76.6%, 77.9%, 85.7%, and 88.3% respectively. The cut-off value of MNSI score was derived as two with AUC of 0.934. The sensitivity was 96.8% and the specificity was 85.7% with 89.6% accuracy. The high sensitivity indicates the positive cases are diagnosed correctly. There is no validated tool available for detection of DPN in Indian population. The Indian version of MNSI tool was found to be effective for screening diabetic neuropathy among people with T2DM. The MNSI tool was found to be reliable, convenient, and non-invasive for diagnosis of DPN and can be used in routine clinical settings.

Abstract
AIMS Although increased production of malondialdehyde (MDA), an end product of lipid oxidation caused by reactive oxygen species (ROS), has been found be elevated in hypertensive population, whether MDA contributed to a changed risk of hypertension is uncertain. We aimed to investigate whether elevated blood levels of MDA contribute to increased risk of hypertension and obesity has a modified effect on the association in an older Chinese population. METHODS Data were obtained from 2011 to 2012 of the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey (CLHLS), a national cohort of older adults in China. Associations between blood MDA level and systolic and diastolic blood pressure (BP) and risk of hypertension were performed by multivariable linear regression and logistic regression analysis. RESULTS The results of smooth curve revealed a gradual upward trend on association of blood MDA level with diastolic BP (P < 0.001), but not with systolic BP (P > 0.05). Logistic regression analysis suggested that elevated blood MDA levels were associated with increased risk of diastolic hypertension (OR = 1.079, 95% CI 1.039-1.122, P < 0.001) rather than systolic hypertension (OR = 0.978, 95% CI 0.943-1.015, P = 0.247) after adjustments of related confounding factors were made. Furthermore, we found the significant modification effect of obesity on the association between MDA level and risk of diastolic hypertension evaluated by body mass index (BMI, interaction P = 0.015) and by waist circumference (interaction P = 0.016). CONCLUSION Our results firstly identified that increased blood MDA levels were associated with elevated risk of diastolic hypertension, rather than systolic hypertension in the non-obese old population.

Abstract
Dysregulation of adipogenesis is related to diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) pathogenesis, which may be mediated by immune infiltration. Nevertheless, the expression patterns of multiple adipogenesis-related genes and the differences of immune infiltration in different lipid metabolism levels remain unknown. GSE95849, a gene expression matrix containing DPN patients and healthy participants, was downloaded from Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. Differentially expressed adipogenesis-related genes (DEARGs) were screened by overlapping the adipogenesis-related genes with differentially expressed genes (DEGs). DPN patients from GSE24290 and GSE148059 were divided into two adipogenesis subgroups according to the expression of DEARGs. The single-sample gene set enrichment analysis (ssGSEA) was used to estimate the abundance of the immune cells between two subgroups. The analysis of immune infiltration suggested that a variety of immune cells and immune processes were elevated in the high expression group of DEARGs. The differentially expressed genes of the two subgroups were mainly enriched in biological processes and signaling pathways related to lipid metabolism. PPARG, FABP4, LIPE, FASN, SCD, DGAT2, PNPLA2, ADIPOQ, LEP, and CEBPA were identified as the hub genes of the two subgroups, whose related transcription factors (TFs) and miRNAs were predicted. An immunohistochemical assay was used to verify the expression of hub genes in DPN nerve tissues. Our comprehensive analysis of adipogenesis subgroups in DPN illustrated that different expression patterns of DEARGs may lead to different immune and inflammatory states. The identification of DEARGs may help to further distinguish the different characteristics of DPN patients and lay the foundation for targeted treatment. Our findings may bring a novel perspective to the diagnosis and treatment of DPN patients.

Abstract
Diabetes is a significant public health issue known as the world's fastest-growing disease condition. It is characterized by persistent hyperglycemia and subsequent chronic complications leading to organ dysfunction and, ultimately, the failure of target organs. Substance P (SP) is an undecapeptide that belongs to the family of tachykinin (TK) peptides. The SP-mediated activation of the neurokinin 1 receptor (NK1R) regulates many pathophysiological processes in the body. There is also a relation between the SP/NK1R system and diabetic processes. Importantly, deregulated expression of SP has been reported in diabetes and diabetes-associated chronic complications. SP can induce both diabetogenic and antidiabetogenic effects and thus affect the pathology of diabetes destructively or protectively. Here, we review the current knowledge of the functional relevance of the SP/NK1R system in diabetes pathogenesis and its exploitation for diabetes therapy. A comprehensive understanding of the role of the SP/NK1R system in diabetes is expected to shed further light on developing new therapeutic possibilities for diabetes and its associated chronic conditions.

Abstract
Diabetic mellitus is a worldwide endocrine and metabolic disorder with insulin insensitivity or deficiency or both whose prevalence could rise up to 592 million by 2035. Consistent hyperglycemia leads to one of the most common comorbidities like Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy (DPN). DPN is underlined with unpleasant sensory experience, such as tingling and burning sensation, hyperalgesia, numbness, etc. Globally, 50-60% of the diabetic population is suffering from such symptoms as microvascular complications. Consistent hyperglycemia during DM causes activation/inhibition of various pathways playing important role in the homeostasis of neurons and other cells. Disruption of these pathways results into apoptosis and mitochondrial dysfunctions, causing neuropathy. Among these, pathways like Polyol and PARP are some of the most intensively studied ones whereas those like Wnt pathway, Mitogen activated protein kinase (MAPK), mTOR pathway are comparatively newly discovered. Understanding of these pathways and their role in pathophysiology of DN underlines a few molecules of immense therapeutic value. The inhibitors or activators of these molecules can be of therapeutic importance in the management of DPN. This review, hence, focuses on these underlying molecular mechanisms intending to provide therapeutically effective molecular targets for the treatment of DPN.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION/AIMS Diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) is one of the most common chronic complications of diabetes mellitus. Diabetic patients often have thyroid dysfunction. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between low triiodothyronine (T3) syndrome and DPN in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). METHODS A retrospective review was performed of 928 patients with T2DM for whom data was available for clinical manifestations and nerve conduction studies (NCS), and of 134 non-diabetic controls. The composite Z scores of conduction velocity and amplitude were calculated. Low T3 syndrome was defined as T3 levels below the lower limit of the reference interval. RESULTS Among the patients with T2DM, 632 (68.1%) had DPN, and a larger proportion of these patients presented with low T3 syndrome than patients without DPN. After adjusting for potential confounders, low T3 syndrome was independently associated with the occurrence of DPN (odds ratio [OR] = 2.049, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.319-3.181, p = .001) and the severity of DPN (OR = 1.597, 95% CI 1.030-2.476, p = .036). Adding the criterion of low T3 syndrome improved the prognostic performance of the traditional model (age + gender + diabetic duration + glycated hemoglobin [HbA1c]) for predicting DPN. DISCUSSION Low T3 syndrome is associated with a higher risk and increased severity of DPN in patients with T2DM. These findings suggest that low T3 syndrome could be a predictor for risk stratification in patients with T2DM.

Abstract
The poor prognosis of cervical spine surgery is mainly manifested as poor neurological recovery and the presence of new upper extremity dysfunction that promotes significant psychological and physiological burdens on patients. Many factors influence the prognosis of cervical spine surgery, including the age of patients, the time and mode of surgery, and the surgical technique used. However, in clinical studies, it has been observed that patients with diabetes have a higher probability of poor prognosis after surgery. Therefore, we review the pathophysiology of diabetic neuropathies and discuss its impact on cervical nerve system function, especially in cervical nerve roots and upper limb peripheral nerve conduction.

Abstract
Ferroptosis requires not only the accumulation of iron ions, but also changes in many ferroptosis-related regulators, including a decrease in GPX4 and inhibition of SLC7A11 for classical ferroptosis, a deletion of FSP1 or GCH1. Surprisingly, adipose tissue (AT) in the obesity conditions is also accompanied by iron buildup, decreased GSH, and increased ROS. On the neurological side, the pro-inflammatory factor released by AT may have first caused ferroptosis in the vagus nerve by inhibiting of the NRF2-GPX4 pathway, resulting in disorders of the autonomic nervous system. On the immune side, obesity may cause M2 macrophages ferroptosis due to damage to iron-rich ATMs (MFehi) and antioxidant ATMs (Mox), and lead to Treg cells ferroptosis through reductions in NRF2, GPX4, and GCH1 levels. At the same time, the reduction in GPX4 may also trigger the ferroptosis of B1 cells. In addition, some studies have also found the role of GPX4 in neutrophil autophagy, which is also worth pondering whether there is a connection with ferroptosis. In conclusion, this review summarizes the associations between neuroimmune regulation associated with obesity and ferroptosis, and on the basis of this, highlights their potential molecular mechanisms, proposing that ferroptosis in one or more cells in a multicellular tissue changes the fate of that tissue.

Abstract
This study was designed to investigate the chemical profile, antihyperglycemic and antilipidemic effect of total methanolic extract (TME) of Bassia eriophora and isolated pure compound umbelliferone (UFN) in high-fat diet (HFD)- and streptozotocin (STZ)- induced diabetic rats. TME was subjected to various techniques of chromatography to yield UFN. Diabetes was induced after eight weeks of HFD by administration of STZ (40 mg/kg) intraperitoneally, and experimental subjects were divided into five groups. The diabetic control showed an increase in levels of blood glucose throughout the experiment. Treatments were initiated in the other four groups with glibenclamide (GLB) (6 mg/kg), TME (200 mg/kg and 400 mg/kg) and isolated UFN (50 mg/kg) orally. The effect on blood glucose, lipid profile and histology of the pancreatic and adipose tissues was assessed. Both 200 and 400 mg/kg of TME produced a comparably significant decrease in blood glucose levels and an increase in insulin levels with GLB. UFN began to show a better blood sugar-lowering effect after 14 days of treatment, comparatively. However, both 400 mg/kg TME and UFN significantly returned blood glucose levels in diabetic rats compared to normal rats. Analysis of the lipid profile showed that while HFD + STZ increased all lipid profile parameters, TME administration produced a significant decrease in their levels. Histopathological examinations showed that treatment with TME and UFN revealed an improved cellular architecture, with the healthy islets of Langerhans and compact glandular cells for pancreatic cells distinct from damaged cells in non-treated groups. Conversely, the adipose tissue displayed apparently normal polygonal fat cells. Therefore, these results suggest that TME has the potential to ameliorate hyperglycemia conditions and control lipid profiles in HFD + STZ-induced diabetic rats.

Abstract
AIMS To investigate whether peripheral neuropathy scale scores are associated with myocardial infarction (MI) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). MATERIALS AND METHODS In this cross-sectional study, 32,463 T2DM patients were enroled from 103 tertiary hospitals in 25 Chinese provinces. Based on a history of MI, participants were divided into the MI group (n = 4170) and the non-MI group (n = 28,293). All patients were assessed using four neuropathy scales, namely, Neurological Symptom Score (NSS), Neurological Disability Score (NDS), Toronto Clinical Scoring System (TCSS), and Michigan Neuropathy Screening Instrument (MNSI), and some of the patients underwent evaluation of nerve conduction velocity (NCV) (n = 20,288). The relationship between these scores and myocardial infraction was analysed. RESULTS The neuropathy scale scores in the MI group were higher than those in the non-MI group (p < 0.001). After dividing patients into four groups based on the grading criteria, our results showed that, in addition to aggravating the degree of neuropathy signs, the incidence of MI increased (p < 0.001). Logistic regression analysis results showed that neuropathy scale scores and NCV were both independent risk factors for MI (p < 0.001). Furthermore, among the scales used, MNSI presented a higher odds ratio and area under the curve (AUC; 0.625, p < 0.001) than the other three scales (AUCNSS = 0.575, AUCNDS = 0.606, and AUCTCSS = 0.602, p < 0.001) for MI. CONCLUSIONS Increased scores on these neuropathy scales (NSS, NDS, TCSS, and MNSI) and NCV were significantly associated with increased risk of MI and were considered independent risk factors.

Effect of performing high-intensity interval training and resistance training on the same day vs. different days in women with type 2 diabetes. Eur J Appl Physiol 2022; 122:2037-2047. [PMID: 35761105 DOI: 10.1007/s00421-022-04980-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/25/2021] [Accepted: 03/22/2022] [Indexed: 11/27/2022]
Abstract
Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is associated with chronic inflammation as a critical factor for muscle atrophy and disease progression. Although the combination of aerobic and resistance training leads to more significant improvements in health-related indices for T2D patients, the interference effect in concurrent training can decrease positive adaptations. The purpose of this study was to investigate the physiological adaptations in performing high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and resistance training on the same day vs. different days in T2D patients. Twenty-four non-athletic 45-65-year-old women with T2D participated in an 8-week intervention. They were randomly divided into three groups: same days (SD), different days (DD), and treatment as usual (control). SD group had resistance training followed by HIIT on Saturday, Monday, and Wednesday. In contrast, the DD group had the same volume of resistance training on Saturday, Monday, and Wednesday and HIIT on Sunday, Tuesday, and Thursday, with Friday as a resting day. Blood samples were collected 24 h before the first and 48 h after the last session in each group to measure glucose, insulin, glycosylated hemoglobin, IGF1, IL1β, CRP, lipid profile, miR-146a, and miR-29b. Three subjects dropped out during the study, and 21 participants (SD = 7, DD = 6, Control = 8) completed the 8-week intervention. MiR-146a changed significantly (P = 0.006) in both SD and DD groups compared to the control group. IGF1 (P = 0.001) and fat-free mass (P = 0.001) changed significantly in SD and DD groups compared to the control group, and also DD led to more significant increases in IGF1 and fat-free mass in comparison with SD. MiR-29 (P = 0.001) changed significantly in the DD group compared to the control group. The reduction of IL-1β, fat mass and insulin resistance was significant in SD and DD compared to the control group; DD showed more potent effects than the SD group on the fat mass (P = 0.001) and insulin resistance (P = 0.001). This study demonstrated that a combination of HIIT and resistance training could be practical for improving health-related outcomes in T2D. Our study indicated for the first time that training strength and HIIT on separate days appeared to be more effective to combat muscle atrophy and insulin resistance.

Abstract
Aims This study aimed to determine the association of plasma neurofilament light (NfL), a marker of neurodegeneration, with diabetes status and glycaemic parameters in people with normal glycaemia (NG), pre-diabetes (PD) and type 2 diabetes (T2D). Methods Clinical and descriptive data for the diagnostic groups, NG (n=30), PD (n=48) and T2D (n=29), aged between 40 and 75 years were included in this cross-sectional analysis. Plasma NfL levels were analyzed using the ultra-sensitive single-molecule array (Simoa) platform. Results A positive correlation was evident between plasma NfL and fasting glucose (r = 0.2824; p = 0.0032). Plasma NfL levels were not correlated with fasting insulin and insulin resistance. Plasma Nfl levels were significantly different across the diabetes groups (T2D >PD >NG, p=0.0046). Post-hoc analysis indicated significantly higher plasma NfL levels in the T2D [12.4 (5.21) pg/mL] group than in the PD [10.2 (4.13) pg/mL] and NG [8.37 (5.65) pg/mL] groups. The relationship between diabetes status and NfL remained significant after adjusting for age, sex, BMI, HOMA-IR and physical activity (adjusted r2 = 0.271, p = 0.035). Conclusions These results show biomarker evidence of neurodegeneration in adults at risk or with T2D. Larger sample size and longitudinal analysis are required to better understand the application of NfL in people with risk and overt T2D.

Peripheral neuropathy in the pre-diabetic state of the type 2 diabetes mouse model (TSOD mice) involves TRPV1 expression in dorsal root ganglions. IBRO Neurosci Rep 2022; 12:163-169. [PMID: 35199097 PMCID: PMC8850332 DOI: 10.1016/j.ibneur.2022.02.001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/25/2021] [Revised: 01/08/2022] [Accepted: 02/04/2022] [Indexed: 12/31/2022] Open
Abstract
Peripheral neuropathy, which is a complication of diabetes mellitus (DM), is thought to occur in the pre-DM state, being known as impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) neuropathy, although its pathogenesis is unknown. Since it is reversible, an effective treatment at the pre-DM stage could stop the progression of peripheral neuropathy and improve patients’ quality of life and reduce medical costs. We investigated the hypersensitivity to mechanical and thermal stimuli during the pre-DM state in Tsumura Suzuki Obese Diabetes (TSOD) mice, a type 2 DM mouse model. The expression pattern of the Transient Receptor Potential Vanilloid 1 (TRPV1)-positive cells in the dorsal root ganglia (DRG) was examined in TSOD mice, which showed a pre-DM state at 5–12 weeks of age and decreased mechanical and thermal nociceptive thresholds. Additionally, the size of TRPV1-positive cells in TSOD mice increased compared with that in non-diabetic controls (Tsumura Suzuki Non-Obesity; TSNO). Furthermore, the expression of TRPV1 on myelinated nerve fibers (neurofilament heavy-positive cells) had significantly increased. Thus, TSOD mice in the pre-DM state at 5–12 weeks of age could be a useful animal model of IGT neuropathy. We also hypothesized that the development of IGT neuropathy may involve a switch in TRPV1 expression from small, unmyelinated neurons to large, myelinated neurons in the DRG. The mechanism of peripheral neuropathy was investigated in insulin resistance state. Tsumura Suzuki Obese Diabetes (TSOD) mice showed a pre-diabetic state. TSOD mice showed mechanical and thermal hypersensitivity in a pre-diabetic state. The TRPV1 expression shifted to larger dorsal root ganglia (DRG) cells in TSOD mice. TRPV1 expression in myelinated neurons of the DRG was involved in neuropathy.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus (DM), an emerging chronic epidemic, contributes to mortality and morbidity around the world. Diabetic cardiac autonomic neuropathy (DCAN) is one of the most common complications associated with DM. Previous studies have shown that satellite glial cells (SGCs) in the superior cervical ganglia (SCG) play an indispensable role in DCAN progression. In addition, it has been shown that purinergic neurotransmitters, as well as metabotropic GPCRs, are involved in the pathophysiological process of DCAN. Furthermore, one traditional Chinese medicine, naringin may potently alleviate the effects of DCAN. Ferroptosis may be involved in DCAN progression. However, the role of naringin in DCAN as well as its detailed mechanism requires further investigation. In this research, we attempted to identify the effect and relevant mechanism of naringin in DCAN mitigation. We observed that compared with those of normal subjects, there were significantly elevated expression levels of P2Y14 and IL-1β in diabetic rats, both of which were remarkably diminished by treatment with either P2Y14 shRNA or naringin. In addition, abnormalities in blood pressure (BP), heart rate (HR), heart rate variability (HRV), sympathetic nerve discharge (SND), and cardiac structure in the diabetic model can also be partially returned to normal through the use of those treatments. Furthermore, a reduced expression of NRF2 and GPX4, as well as an elevated level of ROS, were detected in diabetic cases, which can also be improved with those treatments. Our results showed that naringin can effectively relieve DCAN mediated by the P2Y14 receptor of SGCs in the SCG. Moreover, the NRF2/GPX4 pathway involved in ferroptosis may become one of the principal mechanisms participating in DCAN progression, which can be modulated by P2Y14-targeted naringin and thus relieve DCAN. Hopefully, our research can supply one novel therapeutic target and provide a brilliant perspective for the treatment of DCAN.

Abstract
Macrophages are present in all mammalian tissues and coexist with various cell types in order to respond to different environmental cues. However, the role of these cells has been underestimated in the context of peripheral nerve damage. More importantly, macrophages display divergent characteristics, associated with their origin, and in response to the modulatory effects of their microenvironment. Interestingly, the advent of new techniques such as fate mapping and single-cell transcriptomics and their synergistic use has helped characterize in detail the origin and fate of tissue-resident macrophages in the peripheral nervous system (PNS). Furthermore, these techniques have allowed a better understanding of their functions from simple homeostatic supervisors to chief regulators in peripheral neuropathies. In this review, we summarize the latest knowledge about macrophage ontogeny, function and tissue identity, with a particular focus on PNS-associated cells, as well as their interaction with reactive oxygen species under physiological and pathological conditions. We then revisit the process of Wallerian degeneration, describing the events accompanying axon degeneration, Schwann cell activation and most importantly, macrophage recruitment to the site of injury. Finally, we review these processes in light of internal and external insults to peripheral nerves leading to peripheral neuropathies, the involvement of macrophages and the potential benefit of the targeting of specific macrophages for the alleviation of functional defects in the PNS.

Abstract
Autophagy is the process by which intracellular components are degraded by lysosomes. It is also activated by oxidative stress; hence, autophagy is thought to be closely related to oxidative stress, one of the major causes of diabetic neuropathy. We previously reported that docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) induced antioxidant enzymes and protected Schwann cells from oxidative stress. However, the relationship between autophagy and oxidative stress-induced cell death in diabetic neuropathy has not been elucidated. Treatment with tert-butyl hydroperoxide (tBHP) decreased the cell survival rate, as measured by an MTT assay in immortalized Fischer rat Schwann cells 1 (IFRS1). A DHA pretreatment significantly prevented tBHP-induced cytotoxicity. tBHP increased autophagy, which was revealed by the ratio of the initiation markers, AMP-activated protein kinase, and UNC51-like kinase phosphorylation. Conversely, the DHA pretreatment suppressed excessive tBHP-induced autophagy signaling. Autophagosomes induced by tBHP in IFRS1 cells were decreased to control levels by the DHA pretreatment whereas autolysosomes were only partially decreased. These results suggest that DHA attenuated excessive autophagy induced by oxidative stress in Schwann cells and may be useful to prevent or reduce cell death in vitro. However, its potentiality to treat diabetic neuropathy must be validated in in vivo studies.

Abstract
Background Oxidative stress underlies metabolic diseases and cognitive impairment; thus, the use of antioxidants may improve brain function in insulin-resistant conditions. We are the first to evaluate the effects of α-lipoic acid (ALA) on redox homeostasis, sphingolipid metabolism, neuroinflammation, apoptosis, and β-amyloid accumulation in the cerebral cortex and hypothalamus of insulin-resistant rats. Methods The experiment was conducted on male cmdb/outbred Wistar rats fed a high-fat diet (HFD) for 10 weeks with intragastric administration of ALA (30 mg/kg body weight) for 4 weeks. Pro-oxidant and pro-inflammatory enzymes, oxidative stress, sphingolipid metabolism, neuroinflammation, apoptosis, and β-amyloid level were assessed in the hypothalamus and cerebral cortex using colorimetric, fluorimetric, ELISA, and HPLC methods. Statistical analysis was performed using three-way ANOVA followed by the Tukey HSD test. Results ALA normalizes body weight, food intake, glycemia, insulinemia, and systemic insulin sensitivity in HFD-fed rats. ALA treatment reduces nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) and xanthine oxidase activity, increases ferric-reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) and thiol levels in the hypothalamus of insulin-resistant rats. In addition, it decreases myeloperoxidase, glucuronidase, and metalloproteinase-2 activity and pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-1β, IL-6) levels, while in the cerebral cortex ALA reduces β-amyloid accumulation. In both brain structures, ALA diminishes ceramide synthesis and caspase-3 activity. ALA improves systemic oxidative status and reduces insulin-resistant rats’ serum cytokines, chemokines, and growth factors. Conclusion ALA normalizes lipid and carbohydrate metabolism in insulin-resistant rats. At the brain level, ALA primarily affects hypothalamic metabolism. ALA improves redox homeostasis by decreasing the activity of pro-oxidant enzymes, enhancing total antioxidant potential, and reducing protein and lipid oxidative damage in the hypothalamus of HFD-fed rats. ALA also reduces hypothalamic inflammation and metalloproteinases activity, and cortical β-amyloid accumulation. In both brain structures, ALA diminishes ceramide synthesis and neuronal apoptosis. Although further study is needed, ALA may be a potential treatment for patients with cerebral complications of insulin resistance.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Water caltrop (Trapa natans L.) is widely cultivated as a popular vegetable or fruit in Asian countries. In China, water caltrop pericarp is also used as a functional food to treat metabolic syndrome. However, the profiling of bioactive substances and their pharmacological activities in different water caltrop varieties remains to be investigated. In the present study, three varieties of water caltrop pericarps collected from 13 origins in China were analyzed for their phenolic substances. To investigate the pharmacological activities, samples were tested for their free radical scavenging capacity and inhibitory potency against α-glucosidase and pancreatic lipase. RESULTS In total, 46 phenolic compounds were identified in the ethanol extract of water caltrop pericarp using a liquid chromatography-quadrupole time of flight-tandem mass spectrometry method, most of which were hydrolyzable tannins. Two cultivated varieties samples exhibited a relatively higher phenolic content and stronger antioxidant and inhibitory activities against α-glucosidase and pancreatic lipase compared to those from the wild variety. Correlation analysis between phenolic contents and biological activities suggested that phenolic compounds exhibited potential free radical scavenging capacity, α-glucosidase and pancreatic lipase inhibitory activities. CONCLUSION It is concluded that the phenolic compounds of water caltrop pericarp are promising sources of natural antioxidants, α-glucosidase and pancreatic lipase inhibitors. © 2021 Society of Chemical Industry.

J Neurochem 2022; 162:276-289. [PMID: 35263449 DOI: 10.1111/jnc.15606] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/24/2021] [Revised: 02/23/2022] [Accepted: 02/24/2022] [Indexed: 11/29/2022]
Abstract
Studies have shown that poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP1) was involved in the pathological process of diabetes. Mitophagy is widely acknowledged to be a key regulatory process in maintaining reactive oxygen species homeostasis via lysosome degradation of damaged mitochondria. However, the regulatory role of PARP1 in mitophagy-related mitochondrial oxidative injury and progression of painful diabetic neuropathy (PDN) is unclear. In this study, we studied the in vitro and in vivo mechanisms of PARP1-mediated mitophagy blockade in a leptin gene-mutation (db/db) mouse model of PDN. Db/db mice models of PDN were established by assessing the sciatic nerve conduction velocity (SNCV), mechanical withdrawal threshold (MWT), and thermal withdrawal latency (TWL). The results showed that PARP1 activity and mitochondrial injury of dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons were increased, and mitophagy was impaired in PDN mice. PARP1 was found to mediate the impairment of mitophagy in DRG neurons isolated from PDN mice. PARP1 inhibitors (PJ34 or AG14361) attenuated diabetes-induced peripheral nerve hyperalgesia, restored DRG neuron mitophagy function and decreased mitochondrial oxidative injury. Mitophagy impairment induced by lysosome deacidificant (DC661) aggravated diabetes-induced DRG neuron mitochondrial oxidative stress and injury. Taken together, our data revealed that PARP1 induced defective mitophagy of DRG neurons is a key mechanism in diabetes-induced peripheral neuropathic injury. Inhibition of PARP1 and restoration of mitophagy function are potential therapeutic targets for PDN.

Abstract
Background and purpose Chronic axonal polyneuropathy is a common disease, but the etiology remains only partially understood. Previous etiologic studies have identified clinical risk factors, but genetic evidence supporting causality between these factors and polyneuropathy are largely lacking. In this study, we investigate whether there is a genetic association of clinically established important risk factors (diabetes, body mass index [BMI], vitamin B12 levels, and alcohol intake) with chronic axonal polyneuropathy. Methods This study was performed within the population‐based Rotterdam Study and included 1565 participants (median age = 73.6 years, interquartile range = 64.6–78.8, 53.5% female), of whom 215 participants (13.7%) had polyneuropathy. Polygenic scores (PGSs) for diabetes, BMI, vitamin B12 levels, and alcohol intake were calculated at multiple significance thresholds based on published genome‐wide association studies. Results Higher PGSs of diabetes, BMI, and alcohol intake were associated with higher prevalence of chronic axonal polyneuropathy, whereas higher PGS of vitamin B12 levels was associated with lower prevalence of polyneuropathy. These effects were most pronounced for PGSs with lenient significance thresholds for diabetes and BMI (odds ratio [OR]diabetes, p < 1.0 = 1.21, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.05–1.39 and ORBMI, p < 1.0 = 1.21, 95% CI = 1.04–1.41) and for the strictest significance thresholds for vitamin B12 level and alcohol intake (OR vitamin B12, p < 5e‐6 = 0.79, 95% CI = 0.68–0.92 and ORalcohol, p < 5e‐8 = 1.17, 95% CI = 1.02–1.35). We did not find an association between different PGSs and sural sensory nerve action potential amplitude, nor between individual lead variants of PGSp < 5e‐8 and polyneuropathy. Conclusions This study provides evidence for polygenic associations of diabetes, BMI, vitamin B12 level, and alcohol intake with chronic axonal polyneuropathy. This supports the hypothesis of causal associations between well‐known clinical risk factors and polyneuropathy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is accompanied by inflammation and impairment of the lipid metabolism. In addition, NAFLD is one of the major complications of type 2 diabetes associated with oxidative stress. Based on this, we evaluated the tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), nuclear factor κB (NF-κB), oxidative status rates, and analysed its correlation with carbohydrate and lipid metabolism in patients with NAFLD and type 2 diabetes. METHODS A case-control study included 63 participants with NAFLD developing in patients with type 2 diabetes, and 65 healthy volunteers with a normal complete blood count and blood biochemical profile. The following parameters and states were assessed during the study: glycaemia, insulin resistance, lipid levels, liver tests, intensity of free radical induced oxidation, antioxidant enzymes, TNF-α and NF-κB level. RESULTS Free radical induced oxidation was significantly elevated (p<0.001), total antioxidant activity was significantly decreased (p<0.001) and associated with insulin resistance (p=0.019) and lipid metabolism shifts (p<0.05) in patients with NAFLD and type 2 diabetes. Such patients had showed impaired functioning of antioxidant system (p<0.001), inhibition of NADPH-generating enzymes activity (p<0.001), increased levels of TNF-α (p<0.001) and NF-κB (p=0.019) correlated with the severity of hyperglycaemia (p<0.05), concentration of reduced glutathione (p=0.005) and total cholesterol (p=0.016). CONCLUSIONS The increase of free radical induced oxidation, TNF-α and NF-κB levels, and depletion of the antioxidant system seems to be the key factors of the development of NAFLD in patients with type 2 diabetes.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a complex multifactorial disease that emerges from the combination of genetic and environmental factors, and obesity, lifestyle, and aging are the most relevant risk factors. Hyperglycemia is the main metabolic feature of T2D as a consequence of insulin resistance and β-cell dysfunction. Among the cellular alterations induced by hyperglycemia, the overproduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and consequently oxidative stress, accompanied by a reduced antioxidant response and impaired DNA repair pathways, represent essential mechanisms underlying the pathophysiology of T2D and the development of late complications. Mitochondrial dysfunction, endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, and inflammation are also closely correlated with insulin resistance and β-cell dysfunction. This review focus on the mechanisms by which oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, ER stress, and inflammation are involved in the pathophysiology of T2D, highlighting the importance of the antioxidant response and DNA repair mechanisms counteracting the development of the disease. Moreover, we indicate evidence on how nutritional interventions effectively improve diabetes care. Additionally, we address key molecular characteristics and signaling pathways shared between T2D and Alzheimer's disease (AD), which might probably be implicated in the risk of T2D patients to develop AD.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine whether salvianolic acid B (Sal B) exerts protective effects on diabetic peripheral neuropathy by attenuating apoptosis and pyroptosis. METHODS RSC96 cells were primarily cultured with DMEM (5.6 mmol/L glucose), hyperglycemia (HG, 125 mmol/L glucose) and Sal B (0.1, 1, and 10 µ mol/L). Cells proliferation was measured by 3-(4, 5-cimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2, 5-dilphenyltetrazolium bromide assay. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation and apoptosis rate were detected by flow cytometry analysis. Western blot was performed to analyze the expressions of poly ADP-ribose polymerase (PARP), cleaved-caspase 3, cleaved-caspase 9, Bcl-2, Bax, NLRP3, ASC, and interleukin (IL)-1 β. RESULTS Treatment with HG at a concentration of 125 mmol/L attenuated cellular proliferation, while Sal B alleviated this injury (P<0.05). In addition, Sal B inhibited HG-induced ROS production and apoptosis rate (P<0.05). Furthermore, treatment with Sal B down-regulated HG-induced PARP, cleaved-caspase 3, cleaved-caspase 9, Bax, NLRP3, ASC, and IL-1 β expression, but mitigated HG-mediated down-regulation of Bcl-2 expression (P<0.05). CONCLUSION Sal B may protect RSC96 cells against HG-induced cellular injury via the inhibition of apoptosis and pyroptosis activated by ROS.

Abstract
In the available literature, little attention has been paid to the assessment of psoriasis and the biological therapy used for it and the nervous system. The purpose of this article is to discuss the relationship between psoriasis and the nervous system as well as to analyze the mechanisms that lead to neurological complications during anticytokine therapies in psoriasis. However, this connection requires further analysis. The use of biological drugs in psoriasis, although it yields positive therapeutic results, is not without numerous side effects. Serious neurological side effects of the therapy are most often visible with the use of anti-TNF-alpha, which is why patients should be monitored for their potential occurrence. Early detection of complications and rapid discontinuation of treatment with the drug may potentially increase the patient’s chances of a full recovery or improvement of his/her neurological condition. It also seems reasonable that, in the case of complications occurring during anti-TNF-alpha therapy, some of the drugs from other groups should be included in the therapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Peripheral neuropathy is among the most common complications of diabetes, but a phenotypically identical distal sensory predominant, painful axonopathy afflicts patients with prediabetic metabolic syndrome, exemplifying a spectrum of risk and continuity of pathogenesis. No pharmacological treatment convincingly improves neuropathy in the setting of metabolic syndrome, but evolving data suggest that exercise may be a promising alternative. OBJECTIVE The aim of the study was to review in depth the current literature regarding exercise treatment of metabolic syndrome neuropathy in humans and animal models, highlight the diverse mechanisms by which exercise exerts beneficial effects, and examine adherence limitations, safety aspects, modes and dose of exercise. RESULTS Rodent models that recapitulate the organismal milieu of prediabetic metabolic syndrome and the phenotype of its neuropathy provide a strong platform to dissect exercise effects on neuropathy pathogenesis. In these models, exercise reverses hyperglycemia and consequent oxidative and nitrosative stress, improves microvascular vasoreactivity, enhances axonal transport, ameliorates the lipotoxicity and inflammatory effects of hyperlipidemia and obesity, supports neuronal survival and regeneration following injury, and enhances mitochondrial bioenergetics at the distal axon. Prospective human studies are limited in scale but suggest exercise to improve cutaneous nerve regenerative capacity, neuropathic pain, and task-specific functional performance measures of gait and balance. Like other heath behavioral interventions, the benefits of exercise are limited by patient adherence. CONCLUSION Exercise is an integrative therapy that potently reduces cellular inflammatory state and improves distal axonal oxidative metabolism to ameliorate features of neuropathy in metabolic syndrome. The intensity of exercise need not improve cardinal features of metabolic syndrome, including weight, glucose control, to exert beneficial effects.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study was aimed at the prevalence, cardiovascular risk factors of diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN), and the relationship between DPN and fasting glucagon-like peptide-1 (fGLP-1) concentrations in newly diagnosed patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (nT2D). METHODS A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted from 2015 to 2020 with a population of 473 nT2D. Screening for DPN was based on the United Kingdom screening test. fGLP-1 was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. RESULTS The prevalence of DPN was 26.6%, in which mild grade was 17.3%, moderate grade was 8.2% and severe grade was 1.1% in total. Age (OR = 1.73, 95% CI 1.12-2.67, p = 0.012), smoking (OR = 1.64, 95% CI 1.03-2.62, p = 0.037), poor control HbA1c (OR = 2.66, 95% CI 1.23-5.76, p = 0.01), 24-h urinary albumin (24hUA) (OR = 2.49, 95% CI 1.26-4.94, p = 0.007), and diabetic retinopathy (OR = 3.17, 95% CI 1.46-6.89, p = 0.002) significantly increased the risk for DPN. In multivariate logistic regression analysis, hypertension (OR = 2.96, 95% CI 1.16-7.55, p = 0.023), triglyceride (OR = 1.50, 95% CI 1.11-2.03, p = 0.009), albumin (OR = 0.85, 95% CI 0.75-0.95, p = 0.005), and fGLP-1 (OR = 0.79, 95% CI 0.67-0.93, p = 0.005) correlated with DPN. The fGLP-1 concentrations were reduced significantly in DPN (p < 0.001). In particular, male patients with DPN had a significantly lower fGLP-1 levels than those without DPN (p < 0.001). CONCLUSION The prevalence of DPN among nT2D was 26.6%. Age, smoking, hypertension, HbA1c control, triglyceride, albumin, 24hUA, diabetic retinopathy were the associated risk factors of DPN, and fGLP-1 was negatively correlated with DPN (OR = 0.79, 95% CI 0.67-0.93, p = 0.005).

Abstract
Significance:In vivo assessment of paramagnetic and diamagnetic conversions of nitroxyl radicals based on cyclic redox mechanism can be an index of tissue redox status. The redox mechanism of nitroxyl radicals, which enables their use as a normal tissue-selective radioprotector, is seen as being attractive on planning radiation therapy. Recent Advances:In vivo redox imaging using nitroxyl radicals as redox-sensitive contrast agents has been developed to assess tissue redox status. Chemical and biological behaviors depending on chemical structures of nitroxyl radical compounds have been understood in detail. Polymer types of nitroxyl radical contrast agents and/or nitroxyl radical-labeled drugs were designed for approaching theranostics. Critical Issues: Nitroxyl radicals as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agents have several advantages compared with those used in electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) imaging, while support by EPR spectroscopy is important to understand information from MRI. Redox-sensitive paramagnetic contrast agents having a medicinal benefit, that is, nitroxyl-labeled drug, have been developed and proposed. Future Directions: A development of suitable nitroxyl contrast agent for translational theranostic applications with high reaction specificity and low normal tissue toxicity is under progress. Nitroxyl radicals as redox-sensitive magnetic resonance contrast agents can be a useful tool to detect an abnormal tissue redox status such as disordered oxidative stress. Antioxid.

Abstract
AIMS Diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) occurs in about half of people with diabetes, of whom a quarter may develop chronic pain. Pain may remain for years yet be difficult to treat because the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. There is consensus that processing excessive glucose leads to oxidative stress, interfering with normal metabolism. In this narrative review, we argue that oxidative stress may also contribute to pain. METHODS We reviewed literature in PubMed published between January 2005 and August 2021. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS In diabetes, hyperglycaemia and associated production of reactive species can directly increase pain signalling and activate sensory neurons; or the effects can be indirect, mediated by mitochondrial damage and enhanced inflammation. Furthermore, pain processing in the central nervous system is compromised in painful DPN. This is implicated in central sensitisation and dysfunctional pain modulation. However, central pain modulatory function is understudied in diabetes. Future research is required to clarify whether central sensitisation and/or disturbances in central pain modulation contribute to painful DPN. Positive results would facilitate early detection and future treatment.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
Despite the high number of patients suffering from the negative impact of diabetic neuropathy (DN) in Ethiopia, evidence regarding the time to DN and its predictors are not well document in Ethiopia. Therefore, the current study aimed to determine time to DN and its predictors among newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes patients (T2DM) in North West Ethiopia.
Methods
Institutional based retrospective cohort study was conducted among 463 T2DM. Cox proportional hazard model was fitted to identify predictors of time to DN. The adjusted hazard ratio (AHR) with its 95% confidence interval was used to declare the presence and strength of association.
Results
From a total 463 study participants, 77 (16.63%), (95% CI 13.23%, 20.03%) had developed diabetic neuropathy. The median time to develop DN was 233.77 months. About 40 (51.95%) diabetic neuropathy cases occurred within 6 years of diagnosis of diabetic mellitus. The incidence density was 2.01/100 PY with 95% CI of [1.60, 2.53]. In the multivariable Cox proportional hazard analysis; being aged 65–69 [AHR = 2.78; 95% CI 1.20, 6.46], living with diabetes for less than 4 years [AHR = 3.77; 95% CI 1.82, 7.76], having anaemia [AHR = 3.82; 95% CI 1.66, 8.82] and having other complications [AHR = 1.68; 95% CI 1.03, 2.76 were significant predictors of DN.
Conclusion
More than half of diabetic neuropathy cases occurred within a short period of diagnosed with T2DM. Significant predictors for the time to DN were age, duration, having anaemia and other DM complication. Therefore, we recommend that early screening for DM and its complication for risky groups. While doing that due consideration should be assumed for old and anemic patients.

Anthropometric Measurements, Metabolic Profile and Physical Fitness in a Sample of Spanish Women with Type 2 Diabetes. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2021; 18:ijerph182211955. [PMID: 34831711 PMCID: PMC8623435 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph182211955] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/27/2021] [Revised: 11/03/2021] [Accepted: 11/11/2021] [Indexed: 01/10/2023]
Abstract
Background: Exercise training has proven to be effective for treatment of metabolic diseases, such as type 2 diabetes mellitus. The aims of this study were to compare anthropometric measurements, metabolic profile and physical fitness between active and sedentary women with type 2 diabetes, and to analyse relationships between anthropometry and metabolic profile and components of physical fitness (balance, flexibility, strength and endurance). Methods: Cross-sectional research on 28 women with type 2 diabetes. Amount of daily physical activity, BMI, waist circumference, HbA1c, fibrinogen, hs-CRP, tiptoe dynamic balance, static balance, finger floor distance, abdominal, upper and lower limb strength and walking cardiovascular endurance were recorded. Results: Age: 58.5 ± 7.8. Overall, 16 subjects were physically active and 12 were sedentary. Active subjects had lower BMI (p = 0.033) and better cardiovascular endurance (p = 0.025). BMI and waist circumference were not influenced by any physical fitness component. HbA1c, fibrinogen and hs-CRP were related with worse dynamic balance (p = 0.036, 0.006 and 0.031, respectively). Conclusions: Active women had lower BMI and showed a better performance in cardiovascular endurance. Tiptoe dynamic balance impairments were related to worse glycaemic control, hypercoagulation and inflammatory state.
