Aims: The current study was conducted to investigate the potential protective effects of hesperidin and its possible mechanisms of action on pancreatic beta-cells in diabetes. Main methods: Male Sprague Dawley rats were made diabetic using 65 mg/kg intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin, and then administered daily with 100 mg/kg of hesperidin over 4 weeks. On conclusion of the experiment, blood and pancreatic tissue were collected to determine the function of beta-cells, apoptosis, oxidative stress, ER stress, and inflammation. Key findings: Treatment of diabetic rats with hesperidin, significantly decreased fasting blood glucose and food intake, along with increased body weight, serum and pancreatic insulin levels, and pancreatic-duodenal homeobox-1 (PDX-1) protein expression. The beneficial roles of hesperidin on diabetic pancreatic beta-cells exhibited an increment in antioxidant SOD and GPx activities, and a decrement in nitrotyrosine as well as malondialdehyde (MDA) levels. Additionally, the elevated concentration of TNF-alpha and expressions of ER stress maker GRP78 and CHOP proteins in the pancreas of diabetic rats were significantly diminished by hesperidin treatment. Furthermore, hesperidin effectively modulated expressions of apoptosis-regulatory proteins in diabetic rat pancreas, as revealed by upregulating anti-apoptotic Bcl-xL; with a concomitant downregulating proapoptotic Bax, cleaved caspase-3, and inhibiting the activation of DNA repair protein poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP). Significance: Collectively, these findings suggest that hesperidin may have the potential to protect pancreatic beta-cells and improve their function by suppressing oxidative and ER stress, along with activating its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-apoptotic effects.
