Antidiabetic Effects of Arginyl-Fructosyl-Glucose, a Nonsaponin Fraction from Ginseng Processing in Streptozotocin-Induced Type 2 Diabetic Mice through Regulating the PI3KAKTGSK-3β and Bcl-2Bax Signaling Pathways

Streptozotocin- (STZ-) induced type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) caused insulin secretion disorder and hyperglycemia, further causing tissue and organ damage.

In recent years, studies on ginseng (Panax ginseng C.

A.

Meyer) and its saponins (Ginsenosides) have proved to possess antidiabetic pharmacological activities, but the mechanism of nonsaponins on STZ-induced T2DM is still unclear.

Arginyl-fructosyl-glucose (AFG) is a representative nonsaponin component produced in the processing of red ginseng.

The present study was designed to assess the possible healing consequence of AFG on STZ-induced T2DM in mice and also to explore its fundamental molecular contrivances.

T2DM-related indexes, fasting blood glucose levels, and body weight, histological changes, biochemical considerations, biomarkers, the mRNA countenance intensities of inflammatory facts, and variations in correlated protein manifestation in adipose tissue and liver tissue were calculated.

Consequences specified that AFG usage successfully amends STZ-induced insulin conflict and liver grievance in T2DM.

Systematically, AFG action diminished STZ-induced oxidative stress and inflammatory responses in the liver.

In addition, we demonstrated that AFG also attenuates apoptosis and insulin secretion disorders in T2DM by adjusting the PI3K/AKT/GSK3β signaling pathway.

At the end, these discoveries recommend that AFG averts the development of T2DM through numerous types of machinery and proposes that AFG can also be used in order to treat T2DM in the future.
