GABA administration improves liver function and insulin resistance in offspring of type 2 diabetic rats

Abstract This study investigated the role of GABA in attenuating liver insulin resistance (IR) in type 2 diabetes parents and reducing its risk in their descendants’ liver. Both sexes’ rats were divided into four groups of non-diabetic control, diabetic control (DC), GABA-treated (GABA), and insulin...
