Type 2 diabetes (T2D) occur as a result of insulin resistance and malfunction in insulin signaling. Controlling hyperglycemia and activation of insulin signaling are important in the management of T2D. The study aimed to evaluate the effect of Genistein and Momordica charantia L. fruit on oxidative stress, markers of inflammation, and their role on proglucagon and insulin receptor mRNA expression by RT-PCR in diabetic rats. Thirty-five albino rats were divided into seven groups (n=5). Group I (non-diabetic) and group II (diabetic control) were treated with distilled water, groups III and IV received 250mg/kg and 500mg/kg lyophilized MCF respectively. Groups V and VI received 10mg/kg and 20mg/kg Genistein respectively while group VII received 500mg/kg Metformin. The administration lasted for 28 days. MCF and Genistein significantly reduced IL-1β and TNFα levels that was elevated in serum of diabetic rats. Treatment with MCF and Genistein significant increased the expression of proglucagon mRNA in the small intestine and insulin receptor mRNA in the liver of diabetic rats. In conclusion, MCF and Genistein ameliorate type 2 diabetes complications by preventing the loss of insulin-positive cells, inhibiting IL-1β and TNFα and up-regulating proglucagon and insulin receptor mRNA expression. Novelty: • MCF and Genistein has an inhibitory effect on diabetic induced IL-1β and TNFα production. • MCF and Genistein up-regulates proglucagon and insulin receptor mRNA expression.
