## Abstract The brain neurotransmitters' receptor activity and hormonal pathways control many physiological functions in the body. Acetylcholine (ACh), a major neurotransmitter from autonomic nervous system, regulates the cholinergic stimulation of insulin secretion, through interactions with musca
## Abstract ## BACKGROUND We have previously shown that oxidative stress is important in the pathogenesis of diabetesβinduced anomalies in Cohen Diabetic sensitive (CDs) rat embryos and seems to interplay with genetic factors. We investigated the role of genetic factors related to the antioxidant
