From the data obtained, it is concluded that the oral administration of 100 and 150 mgkg of chloroform ext
Recently there has been growing interest in magnesium deficiency and its correlation with coronary artery disease, chronic complications of diabetes mellitus and antioxidant enzyme activity.

The effect of multiple doses of cadmium on carbohydrate metabolism in rats was studied. The treated groups received two dose levels, 0.25 and 0.50 mg cadmium/kg ip every 2nd day for 20 doses. Plasma glucose, immunoresponsive insulin levels, and body weights were determined before treatment and after
Increasing interest in the role of oxidative stress and beta-carotene in disease and prevention led us to examine the results of beta-carotene's administration in diabetic rats, a model for high-oxidative stress. In this experiment, amounts of lipid peroxidation, glutathione, and glutathione disulfi
## Abstract Analysis of the effect of several 1,4βDHP Ca^2+^ channel antagonists on experimental and clinical diabetes shows that structurally similar Ca^2+^ channel antagonists can exert opposite effects on Ca^2+^ influx, glucose homeostasis and insulin secretion. The influence of the Ca^2+^ chann
