Key Words Amomum villosum Lour.; Diabetic peripheral neuropathy; PI3K/AKT; Oxidative stress; Apoptosis
Core Tip Diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) lacks effective therapies beyond symptomatic relief. This study demonstrates that the aqueous extract of Amomum villosum Lour. (AVL) significantly alleviates DPN in rats by activating the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway. AVL reduced oxidative stress, inflammation, and neuronal apoptosis in dorsal root ganglion tissues, thereby improving pain thresholds. Inhibition of PI3K/AKT abrogated these protective effects. These findings highlight AVL as a promising natural medicine with multi-targeted neuroprotective properties and provide mechanistic evidence for its potential application in DPN treatment.
