Abstract:
Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disorder that affects multiple organs, including the stomach. This research examines the effects of naringin and/or zinc on stomach and pancreatic tissues of streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. Type 2 diabetes is induced by intraperitoneal injection of nicotinamide and streptozotocin. Three weeks after diabetes induction, rats receive eight weeks of treatment. Malondialdehyde and total antioxidant capacity are estimated colorimetrically. Asprosin and P-selectin levels are assessed via ELISA. Quantitative RT-PCR analysis of nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB), peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPAR γ), and nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf-2) genes is carried out. Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) is assessed immunohistochemically, and stomach and pancreatic tissues are examined histologically. Combined naringin and zinc treatment significantly reduces gastric Malondialdehyde, serum asprosin, and P-selectin levels in serum, stomach, and pancreas compared to diabetic rats. Additionally, gastric NF-κB expression is significantly lower, while PPAR γ and Nrf-2 expressions are significantly higher compared to diabetic rats. Immunohistochemical analysis and histopathological examination confirm these findings. In conclusion, combined naringin and zinc treatment significantly improves gastric alterations in diabetic rats by reducing oxidative stress and inflammation. Nonetheless, it shows no additional impacts on pancreatic tissue compared to naringin or zinc alone.
