Ginseng-derived GABAFG ameliorates type 2 diabetes mellitus by modulating autophagy-lysosome pathway and gut microbiota.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
introductionHyperglycemia and hyperlipidemia are the hallmarks of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). T2DM is a systemic metabolic disease caused by insulin resistance and malfunctioning pancreatic β-cells. Although ginseng (the roots of Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer) can be used to treat T2DM, the underlying mechanism is unclear.
objectivesTo assess the role and mechanism of, γ-aminobutyric acid-fructosyl-glucose (GABAFG), a maillard reaction product of ginseng, in T2DM treatment.
methodsThe metabolism of GABAFG in serum and tissues was analyzed via ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-Q exactive-mass spectrometry (UHPLC-QE-MS). The molecular mechanisms of GABAFG in pancreatic β-cells (in vivo and in vitro) were investigated via Western blotting, qPCR and immunofluorescence. In addition, the results were validated via high-throughput sequencing and serum metabolomics.
resultsGABAFG alleviated the elevation of blood glucose and blood lipids in HFD/STZ-induced T2DM mice. Also, GABAFG reduced the insulin resistance-associated IRS-1 signaling axis in pancreatic β-cells in vitro. Mechanistically, GABAFG targeted the nuclear translocation of TFEB inhibited apoptosis of pancreatic β-cells by enhancing autophagolysosome function. In addition, GABAFG remodeled the gut microbiota. Specifically, GABAFG increased Akkermansia, decreased Romboutsia abundance, and decreased serum glycerophospholipid metabolism, thus alleviating T2DM-induced dyslipidemia.
conclusionThis is the first study to assess the pharmacological effects of ginseng-derived GABAFG in T2DM. Therefore, this study provides a new theoretical basis for understanding ginseng effect in metabolic diseases.
