Background We examined the effect of chronic administration of angiotensin IV (AngIV) on
the vascular alterations induced by type 1 diabetes in mice. Methods Diabetes was induced …

There is some evidence that inhibition of angiotensinconverting enzyme (ACE) activity can
improve the uptake and conversion of glucose by heart and skeletal muscle in diabetes. To …

The role of β‐endorphin in the plasma glucose‐lowering action of tetrandrine in
streptozotocin‐induced diabetic rats (STZ‐diabetic rats) was investigated. The plasma …

The present study was performed to evaluate the potential role and functional interaction of
angiotensin II AT1 and AT2 receptors (AT1R and AT2R) in the regulation of blood pressure …

The effect of β-endorphin on plasma glucose levels was investigated in streptozotocin-
induced diabetic rats (STZ-diabetic rats). A dose-dependent lowering of plasma glucose was …

Objectives To examine whether angiotensin II type 2 receptors (AT 2 R) are involved in the
reversal of fructose-induced hypertension and insulin resistance after chronic angiotensin II …

Allantoin, an active principle of yam, is documented to lower plasma glucose in diabetic rats.
However, action mechanisms of allantoin remain obscure. It has been indicated that …

We examined the effect of insulin on the analgesic potency of DAMGO, a selective agonist of
μ-opioid receptors, in mice which had been rendered diabetic by an injection of …

We investigated the effect of loperamide, a selective agonist of opioid μ-receptor, on the
plasma glucose in diabetic rats induced by an intravenous injection of streptozotocin (STZ; …

Angiotensin II has been shown to contribute to the pathogenesis of insulin resistance;
however, the mechanism is not well understood. The present study was undertaken to …
