🔦 Science Spotlight: Exploring Goji Plants for Diabetes Treatment 🌿 Goji plants have been widely used in traditional Chinese medicine for their potential anti-diabetic properties. Recent research from the University of Mississippi focused on understanding how tyramine derivatives (TD) from Goji might interact with peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARG), a key target in improving insulin sensitivity for type 2 diabetes. 🧪 Researchers employed BTX's square wave electroporators to transfect HepG2 cells with PPARG, followed by luciferase reporter assays at different TD concentrations. Although some TDs displayed beneficial activities in vitro, the in vivo studies showed no significant improvement in a db/db mouse model. 🐁 Using telemetry implants from Data Sciences International, the team monitored heart rate and mean arterial pressure in freely moving mice. Despite the promising results from docking and cell-based assays, the in vivo experiments suggest that the anti-diabetic effects of Goji plants may not stem from TDs or that TDs are acting via other biological pathways unrelated to PPARG activation. ☝️ This study highlights the complexities of translating in vitro findings to in vivo models, underscoring the need for more research into alternative targets or mechanisms by which Goji may exert its anti-diabetic effects. 📖 Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/gMaUvWmX 🔧 Explore BTX products: https://lnkd.in/gwAs_Ee8 🔧 DSI telemetry: https://lnkd.in/eMMHVdQg #TranslationalResearch #ClinicalRelevancy #DiabetesResearch
