Berberine improves mesenteric artery insulin sensitivity through up‐regulating insulin receptor‐mediated signaling in diabetic rats

Conclusions and ImplicationsBerberine improves diabetic vascular insulin sensitivity and mesenteric vasodilation through upregulating insulin receptor‐mediated signaling in diabetic rats. These findings suggest potential benefits of berberine in the prevention and adjunctive treatment of diabetic vascular complications. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
