Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a metabolic disorder, characterized by abnormally high blood glucose levels due to decreased secretion or effectiveness in function of insulin. Having a role in carbohydrate and lipid metabolism, skeletal muscle is affected by the absence of insulin in diabetic conditions. This current study reports the application of Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy in the determination of macromolecular alterations in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rat skeletal Soleus (SOL) muscles, which highlight the promise of this technique in medical research. The results revealed that DM induced several alterations in macromolecular content and structure of slow-contracting SOL muscles. In diabetic SOL muscles, a decrease in the content of lipids, proteins and nucleic acids together with an increase in lipid order was observed. The decrease in the level of unsaturation and acyl chain length of lipids demonstrated the increased lipid peroxidation in DM. There were alterations in protein secondary structure in DM with a decrease in alpha-helix and beta-sheet content of proteins, whereas the content of aggregated beta-strands increased, which is generally seen when proteins denature. Besides, the integrity of collagen molecules was found to be decreased, demonstrating the alterations in its triple helical structure in diabetic muscles. Furthermore, the same alterations mentioned above were also observed in diabetic fast-contracting Extensor Digitorum Longus (EDL) muscles. However, having a high content of mitochondria and relying on an oxidative pathway, SOL muscle was found to be more affected by DM.

MATERNAL OBESITY EFFECT ON OFFSPRING PANCREATIC ENDOCRINE CELLS: INVESTIGATION OF THE CELL TRANSDIFFERENTIATION PROFILE THAT CAUSES DIABETIC SUSCEPTIBILITY FEYAT, MEHMET SEDAT; Yanık, Tülin; Özçubukçu, Salih; Department of Biotechnology (2022-6-13) In general, Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) is a disease characterized by impaired functioning of pancreatic beta cells and progressive insulin hormone deficiency progressively in combination with physiologically ongoing insulin resistance. In the later stages of the disease, beta cell dysfunction is defined as beta cell death and a decrease in functional cell count. It is a common clinical finding in patients with T2D that therapeutic drugs lowering insulin resistance and diet in the course of the disease treatment ...
The recovery effect of Vitamin C on structural alterations due to Streptozotocin-Induced diabetes in rat testicular tissues Küçük Baloğlu, Fatma; Guldag Tas, Damla; Yilmaz, Okkes; Severcan, Feride (2023-03-05) Type I Diabetes is a multisystem disease that causes alterations in carbohydrate, protein, and fat metabolisms due to hyperglycemia. It has an extensive pathology, especially the mechanism involving oxidative stress is still complex. Type I diabetes is correlated with increased formation of free radicals and decreased levels of antioxidant potential. Vitamin C (Vit C) is a powerful antioxidant that participates in antioxidant defense, protecting lipid membranes and proteins from oxidative damage by donating...
Gene expressions of Mn-SOD and GPx-1 in streptozotocin-induced diabetes: effect of antioxidants Sadi, Goekhan; Güray, Nülüfer Tülün (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2009-07-01) Increased oxidative stress and impaired antioxidant defense mechanisms are believed to be the important factors contributing to the pathogenesis and progression of diabetes mellitus. In this study, we have reported the effects of the streptozotocin-induced diabetes on the gene expression and the activities of two antioxidant enzymes, manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GPx). We also studied the effects of two antioxidants, vitamin C and DL-alpha-lipoic acid (LA), on the system...
Electrophysiologic vestibular evaluation in type 2 diabetic and prediabetic patients: Air conduction ocular and cervical vestibular evoked myogenic potentials Konukseven, Ozlem; Polat, Sefi Ka Burcak; KARAHAN, SEVİLAY; Konukseven, Erhan İlhan; Ersoy, Reyhan; Cakir, Bekir; Kutluhan, Ahmet; AKSOY, SONGÜL (2015-01-01) Objective: Chronically increased blood glucose levels may affect the vestibular system by damaging cells and neural structures in diabetes mellitus (DM). We aimed to search the effects of neurovascular degeneration on the vestibular system in type 2 DM and prediabetic patients by using air-conducted ocular (oVEMP) and cervical (cVEMP) vestibular evoked myogenic potentials. Design: Prospective study. Study sample: Thirty diabetic, 30 prediabetic patients, and 31 age-and sex-matched controls having no periphe...
Structural and docking analysis of a spirulina platensis DPP-IV inhibitory peptide Bakar , Bahar; Kaplan Türköz , Burcu (Orta Doğu Teknik Üniversitesi Enformatik Enstitüsü; 2022-10) Diabetes is a very common chronic disease defined by high blood glucose levels [1]. Dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP-IV) enzyme causes the degredation of glucose-dependent insulin releasing polypeptide (GIP) and glucagon like peptide-1 (GLP1) molecules and consequently the glucose level in the blood is not lowered. Inhibition of DPP-IV enzyme provides an antidiabetic effect by lowering the blood glucose levels [2]. Anti-diabetic drugs have some side effects and limitations, hence research on novel pharmacologic...
