Oridonin ameliorates insulin resistance partially through inhibition of inflammatory response in rats subjected to chronic unpredictable mild stress

Oridonin (Ori) has multiple biological properties, especially anti-inflammatory. However, its effects on chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS)-induced insulin resistance are still unclear. In this study, we explored the regulatory role of Ori in CUMS-triggered insulin resistance, and the underlying molecular mechanisms; Methods: SD rats were subjected to CUMS for 4 weeks, some of which were injected with Ori or fluoxetine (FLX) in durations...
