FABP4 and Disorder of lipid metabolism: Conclusion: The mechanism of YQW’s intervention in T2DM rats could be linked to 22 important components like puerarin, daidzein, and glycyrrhetinic acid further activating PI3K-Akt and MAPK signaling pathways by regulating key targets Kit, Ppard, Ppara, Fabp4, and Tymp, and thus improving lipid metabolism disorder, oxidative stress, and inflammation levels in T2DM rats.
