To analyze the data of the scientific literature on the importance of vaspin as a pathogenetic link in the development of insufficiency of exocrine function of the pancreas in type 2 diabetes patients in combination with chronic pancreatitis and. Literary sources were searched in the scientometric databases Scopus and Web of Science, using the electronic search system Pubmed, mainly for the last 5 years. The search terms were: “type 2 diabetes”, “chronic pancreatitis”, “pancreas”, “exocrine function of the pancreas”, “obesity”, “vaspin”, “type 2 diabetes mellitus”, “pancreas », « obesity »,« vaspin ». An increase in the incidence of chronic pancreatitis and type 2 diabetes mellitus, as well as its severe complications, which are often associated with insulin resistance, hyperinsulinemia. Comorbid conditions can contribute to dysfunction of the pancreas. The existing relationships between vaspin level, insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes mellitus and chronic pancreatitis are not well understood. Many authors see the value and information content of vaspin as a biomarker for diagnosing these diseases and predicting treatment outcomes. The study of the effects and mechanisms of action of vaspin is the basis for determining new targets for the treatment of diabetes mellitus and chronic pancreatitis, both in isolated pathology and in combination.

This study examined the in vivo effects of Echinops spp. polysaccharide B on type 2 diabetes mellitus in Sprague-Dawley rats. We constructed a type 2 diabetes mellitus Sprague-Dawley rat models by feeding a high-fat and high-sugar diet plus intraperitoneal injection of a small dose of streptozotocin. Using this diabetic rat model, different doses of Echinops polysaccharide B were administered orally for seven weeks. Groups receiving Xiaoke pill and metformin served as positive controls. The results showed that Echinops polysaccharide B treatment normalized the weight and blood sugar levels in the type 2 diabetes mellitus rats, increased muscle and liver glycogen content, improved glucose tolerance, increased insulin secretion, and reduced glucagon and insulin resistance indices. More importantly, Echinops polysaccharide B treatment upregulated the expression of insulin receptor in the liver, skeletal muscles, and pancreas, and significantly improved the expression levels of insulin receptor substrate-2 protein in the liver and pancreas, as well as it increased insulin receptor substrate-1 expression in skeletal muscles. These two proteins play crucial roles in increasing insulin secretion and in controlling type 2 diabetes mellitus. The findings of the present study suggest that Echinops polysaccharide B could improve the status of diabetes in type 2 diabetes mellitus rats, which may be achieved by improving insulin resistance. Our study provides a new insight into the development of a natural drug for the control of type 2 diabetes mellitus.

: Insulin resistance and type 2 Diabetes mellitus resulting in chronic hyperglycemia is a major health problem in the modern world. Many drugs have been tested to control hyperglycemia which is believed to be the main factor behind many of the diabetes-related late-term complications. Wogonin is a famous herbal medicine which has been shown to be effective in controlling diabetes and its complications. In our previous work, we showed that wogonin is beneficial in many ways in controlling diabetic cardiomyopathy. In this review, we mainly explained wogonin anti-hyperglycemic property through AKT/GLUT4 pathway. Here we briefly discussed that wogonin increases Glut4 trafficking to plasma membrane which allows increased entry of glucose and thus alleviates hyperglycemia. Conclusion: Wogonin can be used as an anti-diabetic and anti-hyperglycemic drug and works via AKT/GLUT4 pathway.
