Other therapeutic approaches to managing diabetes include: increasing the number of insulin receptors or increasing their sensitivity to insulin, reducing hepatic glucose output, promoting sugar utilization by surrounding tissues and target organs, scavenging free radicals, reducing the expression of inflammatory factors and protecting pancreatic β-cells from inflammatory response damage, improving microcirculation, and inhibiting the activity of key enzymes, such as α-glucosidase and α-amylase [6]. The gene discussed is INS; the disease is diabetes mellitus.
