Fig. 5From: Ophiocordyceps formosana improves hyperglycemia and depression-like behavior in an STZ-induced diabetic mouse modelPutative mechanisms for OFE in improving insulin resistance and depression. OFE promotes the expression of adiponectin, which is an adipokine involved in insulin sensitivity and anti-depression. In addition, the neurotransmitters (5-HT and dopamine) in brain regions were also elevated by OFE, which also leads to anti-depressionBack to article page
