Background:
Chronic inflammation and oxidative stress are central to the pathophysiology of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM), contributing to the progression of metabolic dysfunction and related complications.
Objective:
The aim of this study was to explore the therapeutic potential of combining hypoxia-preconditioned mesenchymal stem cell SH-MSC with alkaline water in a T2DM rat model.
Methods:
T2DM was induced in Wistar rats through a high-fat diet (HFD) followed by streptozotocin (STZ) administration. A total of 30 healthy male Wistar rats were randomly assigned to five groups: healthy control, T2DM, T2DM + Metformin, T2DM + SH-MSC, and T2DM + SH-MSC + alkaline water.
Results:
The combination of SH-MSC and alkaline water significantly reduced malondialdehyde (MDA) levels, a key indicator of lipid peroxidation, and suppressed the expression of p65 mRNA, a crucial component of the NF-κB signaling pathway. Notably, the most pronounced reduction in p65 mRNA expression was observed in the group receiving both SH-MSC and alkaline water, suggesting a synergistic effect in mitigating oxidative stress and inflammation.
Conclusion:
These findings highlight the potential of SH-MSC and alkaline water as a novel therapeutic strategy for alleviating T2DM.
