{Abstract}: The global prevalence rate of diabetes in 2021 was 6.1% making diabetes one of the top 10 causes of death. Prolonged use of antidiabetic medications is associated with various side effects; therefore, alternative treatment strategies for diabetes need exploration. The antidiabetic properties of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum 2034 was explored both in in vitro and in vivo studies. Secretory metabolites of probiotic L. plantarum 2034 exhibited alpha-glucosidase, alpha-amylase, and lipase inhibitory activities, in vitro. Further, the antidiabetic efficacy of 2034 was evaluated in streptozotocin-nicotinamide-induced diabetic rats. In the therapeutic model, oral administration of L. plantarum resulted in normalization of body weight, fasting blood glucose, total cholesterol (TC), and liver enzymes, and significant (p < 0.05) reduction in insulin and triglyceride (TG) levels. Histological evaluation of pancreas, liver, and kidney showed restoration of normal architecture in probiotic-treated group. Similarly, in a preventive + therapeutic model, 14 days of pre-administration of 2034 in pre, pre + post, and cell-free supernatant resulted in significant reduction in glucose, TG, TC, and liver biochemistry of diabetic rats as compared to untreated diabetic rats. An oral glucose tolerance test showed that the glucose levels normalized within 90 min in all the treated groups. Further, the oxidative stress parameters were also studied that showed that in all the treated groups, the concentration of antioxidant enzymes significantly (p < 0.05) increased as compared to diabetic untreated rats. Thus, administration of L. plantarum 2034 and its metabolites successfully ameliorated hyperglycaemia and hypercholesterolemia in both the models probably due to inhibition of gut enzymes and by increasing the concentration of liver antioxidant enzymes.
