In vivo studies

Diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM)

5–50 mg/kg, 10 μM

Ventricular myocytes

Bax, Bcl-2, Histone H3

PI3K/AKT/FoxO3a

RVT via the PI3K/AKT/FoxO3a pathway by inhibiting apoptosis could ameliorate cardiac dysfunction in DCM

[36]

Type 1 diabetes (T1D)

40 mg/kg

–

GSK-3β, PTEN, Nrf2, NQO-1, HO-1, p62, Caspase-3, LC3II, Keap1

AKT

RVT by AKT-mediated Nrf2 activation via p62-dependent Keap1 degradation could reduce testicular apoptosis in T1D mice

[41]

Type 2 diabetes

100 mg/kg, 0–100 μM

HepG2

miR-363-3p, FOXO1, G6PC

PI3K/AKT

RVT by upregulating mmu-miR-363-3p via the PI3K/AKT pathway could reverse high-fat diet (HFD)-induced insulin resistance

[37]

Neuropathic pain

40 mg/mL

–

SIRT1/PGC1α

PI3K/AKT

RVT via PI3K/AKT and SIRT1/PGC1α pathways could inhibit paclitaxel-induced neuropathic pain

[42]

Diabetic nephropathy (DN)

10 mg/kg, 25 μM

Rat Mesangial Cell (RMC)

PAI-1

AKT/NF-κB p65

RVT via inhibiting AKT/NF-κB pathway could prevent mesangial cell proliferation and diabetes-induced renal inflammation

[35]

In vitro studies

DN

10 μM

PC12

Bim, FoxO3a

PI3K/AKT

RVT via the PI3K/AKT/FoxO3a pathway could attenuate the HG-induced oxidative stress and apoptosis in PC12 cells

[39]

Diabetes mellitus

100 μM

NP

Caspase-3, Bcl-2, Bax, p53

PI3K/AKT

RVT via activating PI3K/AKT pathway could attenuate high glucose-induced NP cell senescence and apoptosis
