Insulin resistance and endothelial dysfunction which shares multiple signaling pathways like hyperinsulinemia, glucotoxicity and inflammation in type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (DM) leads to several micro and macrovascular complications. Studies have shown the anti-inflammatory effects of certain oral hypoglycemic agents which will be helpful in preventing the impact of diabetes related complications. The study aimed to compare the anti-inflammatory effects of Sitagliptin and Acarbose in combination with Metformin and Sulfonylurea in Type 2DM patients by using Anti-inflammatory markers Interleukin-6 (IL6), high sensitive C-reactive protein (hsCRP) and also to compare the clinical outcome between these two groups by using the parameters Fasting blood sugar (FBS), Post prandial blood sugar (PPBS), hemoglobin A1c (HbA1C), Plasma Insulin. In this open labeled prospective parallel group clinical study 30 type 2 diabetes patients on Metformin and Sulfonylurea combination, with HbA1c value ≥7.5 were recruited in tertiary care hospital and divided into two groups based on their HbA1C levels and were added on either Acarbose or Sitagliptin along with Metformin Sulfonylurea combinations and were followed for 3 months. Parameters like FBS, PPBS, HbA1c, Plasma Insulin hsCRP, IL-6were measured before and after the study. In the study the mean value of FBS, PPBS, HbA1c, Plasma Insulin, Insulin Resistance, hsCRP were reduced in both Sitagliptin and Acarbose group, which were similar to the results of previous studies except IL6 which got reduced in Sitagliptin group but increased in Acarbose group. The study had showed the synergism of Sitagliptin with Metform in Sulfonylurea combinationin reducing inflammation however; still long term studies are required to confirm their anti-inflammatory effects.

Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a disease of impaired glucose homeostasis and chronic hyperglycemia. Current approaches for the treatment frequently involving the use of combination therapy. The aim of the present study was to evaluate and compare the hypoglycaemic activity of fixed-dose combination anti-diabetic formulations and respective individual agents using rabbits as an animal model. Experimental diabetes was induced by a single intravenous injection of alloxan monohydrate at a dose of 150 mg/kg. Individual drugs and combination tablets were administered to experimental groups. Fasting blood glucose level was estimated at 0, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 24, 36, 48, and 72 hours using glucometer. Data were statistically analyzed using student t-test and p less than 0.05 considered as statistically significant. The reduction in fasting blood glucose level in diabetes-induced rabbits was significantly higher with combination products compared to individual drugs. Fixed-dose combination products had shown improved glycaemic control than individual agents. Fixed-dose combination therapy can be used as a suitable option for selected patients requiring multiple glucose-lowering therapies for use as an adjunct to diet and exercise to improve glycaemic control in type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Background: Globalization has lead to such lifestyle changes which have produced increase in incidence and prevalence of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM). Magnesium is found to have some role in glucose metabolism. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between serum magnesium levels with insulin resistance in apparently healthy adults. Objective: The objective of our study was to evaluate correlation of serum magnesium with fasting blood sugar, insulin level and Homeostasis model assessment-insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) index (indicator of insulin resistance) on the basis of the hypothesis that subjects with hypomagnesaemia are more prone to develop hyperglycemia and insulin resistance. Materials and Methods: The study was a cross-sectional study which was population based. Total 130 apparently healthy adults of age between 25-65 years, were recruited with prior ethical approval and written informed consent. Results: Serum magnesium was found to be negatively correlated with fasting blood sugar (FBS), insulin level and HOMA-IR. Co-relation of magnesium with FBS (r = -0.55, p<0.0001), insulin (r = -0.45, p< 0.0001) and HOMA-IR (r = -0.52, p<0.0001) was significant. Conclusion: As per findings it was concluded that serum magnesium was found to have significant negative correlation with fasting blood sugar (FBS), insulin and HOMA-IR, thus hypomagnesaemia can be suggested to be one of the important predictor of type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Background. Wushenziye formula (WSZYF), composed of Radix Polygoni Multiflori Preparata, Mori fructus, Mori folium, and Cassiae semen, is effective in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Aim. In this study, we aimed to explore the effects and the underlying mechanisms of WSZYF on inhibiting pancreatic β cell apoptosis and improving insulin resistance (IR) in T2DM. Methods. A T2DM model was induced by Goto-Kakizaki diabetes prone rats. Cell apoptosis model was induced in MIN6 cells. Results. In vivo, WSZYF decreased fasting blood glucose (FBG), insulin concentration, insulin resistance index, triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC), and free fatty acids (FFA) in T2DM rats. Meanwhile, WSZYF ameliorated impairments in the morphology and structure of pancreatic tissues. In vitro, WSZYF enhanced cell viability and promoted insulin secretion in the apoptosis model of MIN6 cells. Furthermore, WSZYF modulated the expressions of apoptosis-related molecules by increasing the expressions of MEK1/2, p-MEK1/2, ERK1/2, and p-ERK1/2 and decreasing the cleaved-caspase-3 expression. Conclusion. These findings indicate that WSZYF may become a new drug candidate in the treatment of T2DM and its antidiabetic mechanism is probably inhibiting pancreatic β cell apoptosis by modulating the MEK-ERK-Caspase-3 signaling pathway.

Background Chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is not a simple viral infection; it has many metabolic and autoimmune complications. Objective To investigate the impacts of chronic HCV infection on glucose and lipid metabolism and its correlation-if any-with body mass index (BMI) and hepatosteatosis in chronic HCV patients. Patients and Methods One hundred and three (103) chronic HCV patients were involved in this study. After blood sugar testing patients were classified into three groups; Group I: 68 chronic HCV patients with type 2 diabetes. Group II: 35 chronic HCV patients without Type 2 Diabetes and Group III: 25 patients with Type 2 Diabetes as a control group. With informed written consents and approval from Ain Shams medical ethics committee, all groups were subjected to the following: full history taking, thorough clinical examination, calculation of BMI, and measurement of the waist/hip ratio were done. Assessment of fasting plasma insulin level was done by the immune-enzymatic method. Assessment of the insulin resistance state was done by Homeostatic Model Assessment (HOMA-IR). Detection of anti-HCV was done by the 3rd generation ELISA test and confirmed by qualitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Results Diabetic and non diabetic chronic HCV patients were found to have significantly higher fasting plasma insulin levels and insulin resistance states than the control group. This insulin resistance was not due to increased body mass index as there was a non significant difference in BMI between all the studied groups. Positive correlations were found between plasma insulin level, liver enzymes and steatohepatitis in HCV patients whether they were diabetic or not. No correlation was found between BMI and plasma insulin level in group II patients (HCV only). Conclusion Chronic HCV infection may be regarded as an independent risk factor for the development of insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. HCV induces insulin resistance; the key step for glucose intolerance, and virus C induced steatohepatitis therefore leading to faster progression to cirrhosis. The impacts of chronic HCV infection on glucose and lipid metabolism should be recognized in clinical care centers and addressed in future studies.
