The Potential Therapeutic Effect of Orexin-Treated versus Orexin-Untreated Adipose Tissue-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cell Therapy on Insulin Resistance in Type 2 Diabetic Rats

Table 1

Levels of fasting glucose, insulin, and HOMA-IR after induction of diabetes and before treatment.

Variables	Control group	T2DM group	AD-MSCs group	AD-MSCs pretreated with OXA group
Fasting glucose (mmol/l)		^a	^a	^a
Insulin (mU/l)		^a	^a	^a
HOMA-IR		^a	^a	^a

The results are reported as ; each. as compared to the control group. T2DM: type 2 diabetes; AD-MSCs: adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells; OXA: orexin A; HOMA-IR: homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance index. The significance level was set at .
