ZATARIA MULTIFLORA INCREASES INSULIN SENSITIVITY AND PPARγ GENE EXPRESSION IN HIGH FRUCTOSE FED INSULIN RESISTANT RATS

Objective(s): In insulin resistance, the insulin action in liver, muscles and adipocytes decreases and result in hyperglycemia, dyslipidemia and hyperinsulinemia. In this study we evaluate the effect of Zataria multiflora extract on insulin sensitivity in high fructose fed insulin resistant rats, since this extract was shown antihyperglycemic effect in streptozotocin induced diabetes in rats.
