Abstract

Globally, diabetes mellitus (DM) disease is one of the main causes of death. Type-2 diabetes mellitus (T2-DM) cannot be cured by first-line medications, and long-term use carries a significant risk of serious side effects. Novel antidiabetic agents with high efficacy are required. In the T2-DM rats' model, the anti-diabetic effect of Rhopilema nomadica venom (RNV) and R. nomadica umbrellar extracts (RNUE) was assessed. Biometric and biochemical measurements were determined. The median lethal doses (LD50) of RNV and RNUE were estimated, and then Sprague Dawley male rats were split into five groups (n=10) as follows; group 1 (Gp1) served as a negative control. Gp2 to Gp5 were given a high-fat diet (HFD) and then, injected with STZ (30 mg/kg) interperitoneal (i.p.). Gp2 was kept as diabetic rats (T2-DM rats). Metformin (Met) (150 mg/kg), RNV (7.5 mg/kg), and RNUE (14.4 mg/kg) were given to Gp3, Gp4, and Gp5, respectively. All treatments were taken i.p., once every day for eight weeks body weight (b.wt) changes, the levels of glucose, C-peptide, biochemical parameters, and the histopathological alterations were assessed. R. nomadica diameter was 35- 40 cm, and its weight was 4- 4.5 kg. RNV and RNUE total antioxidant capacities were 2.39 ± 0.18 and 2.92 ± 0.26 mg/g. RNV and RNUE protein profiles showed eight and seven bands. Treatment of T2-DM rats with Met or RNUE led to a hypoglycemic effect as indicated by improvement of b.wt changes, glucose, C-peptide levels, hepato-renal function, antioxidant/oxidant biomarkers status, and insulin-secreting β-cells in the pancreatic islets.
