The T1DM mice results indicated that BefA significantly reduced blood glucose levels; exerted a protective effect on islet β cell morphology; downregulated the expressions of TLR-4, p-NFκB/NFκB, and Bax/Bcl-2, and the secretion levels of IL-1β and TNF-α; increased the expression of PDX-1 protein and insulin secretion in a concentration-dependent manner; and restored the disturbed microbial diversity to normal levels. The gene discussed is IL1B; the disease is type 1 diabetes mellitus.
