Responsed Regulator mmu_circRNA_0000309 (circRNA) Suppressor
Pathway Response Glutathione metabolism hsa00480
Fatty acid metabolism hsa01212
Cell Process Cell ferroptosis
Cell apoptosis
In Vitro Model MPC-5 cells Normal Mus musculus CVCL_AS87
In Vivo Model
C57BL/6J mice were purchased from Three Gorges University (Yichang, China), and C57BL/KsJ and male db/db mice were from Changzhou Cavins Laboratory Animal Co. Ltd. (Changzhou, China). All experiments were approved by the Animal Ethics Committee of Zhejiang Provincial People's Hospital, and performed according to specific institutional and national guidelines. The mice were divided into three groups: control C57BL/6J mice, db/db mice, and germacrone-treated db/db mice (db/db + Ger) (n = 10/each group). The db/db + Ger mice received germacrone treatment at a dosage of 10 mg/kg/day, while C57BL/6J mice and db/db mice had been given the same volumes of 0.9% saline simultaneously.
