Abstract

Microcirculatory deterioration in diabetes mellitus causes severe organ-specific complications, yet a systemic understanding of its cross-organ pathophysiology remains elusive due to a lack of comprehensive data. To address this gap, we present a high-dimensional dataset mapping microhemodynamic and oxygenation profiles across six organs in murine models of health, pre-diabetes, and type 1 and 2 diabetes. Structured as a third-order tensor, the dataset comprises 10-parameter physio-signatures for each condition, documenting responses to insulin and the GLP-1 receptor agonist liraglutide at one- and two-week endpoints. Our resource enables direct deconvolution of disease- and organ-specific signatures and provides a quantitative platform for comparing therapeutic pharmacodynamics. We propose a vectorial and tensorial analytical framework to dissect systemic patterns, quantify disease perturbation, and identify significant drug-organ interactions. Our foundational dataset is intended to catalyze the development of system-level computational models for managing diabetic microvascular disease.
