Diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) is a significant complication of diabetes with limited effective therapeutic options. Sodium alginate (SA), natural polysaccharide from brown algae, has demonstrated health benefits, however, whether it can treat streptozotocin (STZ)-induced DPN remains unclear. The present experiment aimed to test the preventive role SA on STZ-induced in rats and explored possible mechanisms. rat model was established by intraperitoneal injection single dose 40 mg/kg b.w. STZ, (200 b.w./day) orally administered for 28 days after type 2 mellitus (T2DM) induction. obtained findings revealed that STZ significantly increased serum levels FBG, HOMA-IR, TC, TG, VLDL-C, LDL-C, while decreased insulin, incretin GLP-1, HDL-C, lipase activity. In sciatic nerves, proinflammatory cytokine (IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α), caspase-3 (a pro-apoptotic protein), markers oxidative stress (MDA NO), AGEs. parallel, induced decline activities enzymatic antioxidants, viz. , SOD, CAT, GPx, non-enzymatic GSH. These changes were accompanied low expression miR-146a nerves rats. Except treatment injected improved these parameters helped rescue neurological morphology nerve fibers. conclusion, mitigated experimental DPN, this might be due its ability suppress hyperglycemic-hyperlipidemic effects, counteract overactivation inflammatory molecules, increase expression, modulate dysregulation, reduce cell apoptosis.

Several immortalized cell lines have been established our laboratory utilized for study DPN; IMS32 from normal ICR mice, 1970C3 C57BL/6 IWARS1 IKARS1 wild-type aldose reductase-deficient IFRS1 Fischer 344 rats. These retain biological features display high proliferative activities enable us to perform molecular biochemical analyses. In addition, these exhibited metabolic alterations under exposure diabetes-associated conditions, such as hyperglycemia, dyslipidemia, glycative oxidative stress load. Herein, recent studies with regarding pathogenic factors DPN (augmentation polyol other collateral glycolysis pathways, stress-induced injury, autophagic proteostatic disturbances, etc.) therapeutic strategies targeting are introduced.

Diabetes mellitus is a chronic disorder that progressively induces complications, compromising daily independence. Among these, diabetic neuropathy particularly prevalent and contributes to substantial neuromuscular impairments in both types 1 2 diabetes. This condition leads structural damage affecting the central peripheral nervous systems, resulting significant decline sensorimotor functions. Alongside neuropathy, myopathy also muscle impairment reduced motor performance, intensifying decline. Diabetic typically implicates neurogenic atrophy, motoneuron loss clustering of fibres as result aberrant denervation-reinervation processes.
