Chemical inducer of regucalcin attenuates lipopolysaccharide‐induced inflammatory responses in pancreatic MIN6 β‐cells and RAW264.7 macrophages

FEBS Open Bio, Volume 12, Issue 1, Page 175-191, January 2022., 2022
Derrisfolin A, a chemical inducer of regucalcin, attenuated lipopolysaccharide‐induced inflammatory responses in pancreatic MIN6 β‐cells. Regucalcin in MIN6 cells and RAW264.7 macrophages also blocks inflammatory interaction between both cells in a transwell coculture system.

Oxidative stress parameters and keap 1 variants in T2DM: Association with T2DM, diabetic neuropathy, diabetic retinopathy, and obesity

Journal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, Volume 36, Issue 1, January 2022., 2022
Studying 400 T2DM patients without complication indicated: In T2DM patients without complication, the GPx and TAC levels decreased and the MDA level elevated. T2DM with neuropathy had lower levels of GSH, GPx, and TAC and higher levels of TOS, MDA, and OSI and a higher frequency of Keap1 AA genotype.
