Hypoglycemic Effects of Lycium barbarum Polysaccharide in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Mice via Modulating Gut Microbiota

Qingyu Ma et al.

Summary: This study demonstrates that Lycium barbarum polysaccharide (LBP) effectively alleviates the symptoms of hyperglycemia and hyperlipidemia in type 2 diabetic mice by modulating intestinal flora. LBP improves the activities of antioxidative enzymes, reduces inflammation, and enhances the production of beneficial short-chain fatty acids in the gut. Moreover, LBP reverses the dysregulation of certain hormones and the insulin signaling pathway, further improving glucose metabolism in diabetic mice.

Dynamic Ins2 Gene Activity Defines β-Cell Maturity States

Chieh Min Jamie Chu et al.

Summary: This study investigates the dynamic states of insulin gene activity in beta cells and shows that the heterogeneity of insulin production can be explained by these dynamic states. Using live cell imaging, FACS, and single-cell RNA sequencing, the researchers found that approximately 25% of beta cells exhibited higher insulin gene activity at any given moment. They also found that insulin gene activity in these cells changed over time.

Oligosaccharides derived from Lycium barbarum ameliorate glycolipid metabolism and modulate the gut microbiota community and the faecal metabolites in a type 2 diabetes mouse model: metabolomic bioinformatic analysis

Hao Liu et al.

Summary: This study assessed the effects of Lycium barbarum oligosaccharides (LBO) on the intestinal microenvironment of a type 2 diabetes (T2D) mouse model. The intervention effect of the medium-dose group was the most significant, reducing T2D symptoms and restoring damaged tissues and cells. LBO increased the relative abundance of beneficial bacteria and maintained intestinal barrier integrity.

Establishment of a long-term stable β-cell line and its application to analyze the effect of Gcg expression on insulin secretion

Satsuki Miyazaki et al.

Summary: A stable beta-cell line MIN6-CB4 was developed from a hybrid mouse model, which maintains mature beta-cell characteristics and is valuable for studying the effects of Gcg expression on beta-cell function. The study highlights the functional importance of Gcg expression and basal activation of GLP-1 receptor in beta-cells, providing an invaluable tool for investigating insulin secretion regulatory mechanisms.

Relationship of continuous glucose monitoring-related metrics with HbA1c and residual β-cell function in Japanese patients with type 1 diabetes

Naru Babaya et al.

Summary: This study found that in patients with stable glycemic control, metrics derived from continuous glucose monitoring data, such as time in range, time above range, and average glucose levels, were strongly correlated with glycated hemoglobin values, accurately reflecting the glycemic control status in Japanese patients with type 1 diabetes. Additionally, glucose coefficient of variation and time below range were identified as complementary measures to detect glucose variability and hypoglycemia, highlighting the importance of residual β-cell function in maintaining stable glycemic control.

NEUROD1 mutation in an Italian patient with maturity onset diabetes of the young 6: a case report

Lucia Brodosi et al.

Summary: Maturity Onset Diabetes of the Young (MODY) is a rare form of diabetes caused by a mutation in the NEUROD1 gene. Suspecting this disease in patients with a strong family history of diabetes, normal BMI, early-onset, and no autoimmunity is crucial for proper diagnosis and treatment.
