Abstract
Obesity is considered one of the risk factors for metabolic disorders such as diabetes mellitus. There is increasing evidence that obesity and diabetes are under the control of numerous cytokines and hormones, such as adiponectin and leptin. In addition, a number of studies have revealed that the brain functions play a role in the development of obesity and diabetes mellitus. Histamine and its receptors are classical inflammatory mediators in peripheral tissues and also function in the brain. The results of physiological and pharmacological studies revealed that brain histamine and its receptors are involved in the regulation of obesity and diabetes mellitus. Leptin has been shown to regulate obesity and diabetes partially via brain histamine and its receptors. In this review, we focused on the roles of brain histamine and its receptors in regulating obesity and diabetes mellitus.

Advancing Diabetic Wound Healing: Mechanisms and Interventions
In recent years, diabetic wounds have become a global health concern with the increase in the incidence of diabetes. Diabetic wounds are a kind of chronic and refractory ulcer. It is generally due to the microcirculatory disturbances and the reduced levels of endogenous growth factors. Delayed cutaneous wound healing is ...read more
Oxidative and inflammatory responses in the development of secondary diabetic complications
Diabetes, along with its associated secondary complications, represents a significant global health challenge, contributing significantly to morbidity and mortality. Unhealthy lifestyle habits, reduced physical activity, environmental pollutants, and stress are pivotal factors in the onset of diabetes, particularly type-2 diabetes. Poorly managed hyperglycemia can lead to various complications, including neuropathy, ...read more
